Ignore List

No, RHP doesn't IP ban. It wouldn't be practical. More than one person on the same network can have the same IP address, as well as more than one person using the same computer at different times.

IP bans also wouldn't be effective against people with dynamic IP addresses.

I play now against user with great nickname, "REDHOTPAWN". He just stoped to move (he likes his rating) and put me on his ignore list even before the end of our game.

Game 3472318
Can someone ask him how he plans to win? 😠

When their clock runs out you just time them out.

I know. He just plans to "think" 2 days 23 hours & to make 1 move. Sometimes you meet here players like him. I had the same thing against Lamers (he stoped to move after losing a Q) - .

Although in fairness to lamers he did resign the game without forcing you to win an obviously won position. With regard to the other game you posted. Umm your options are to play it out and have to wait, which is irritating for you with only 6 games; or to resign. The problem with the latter course of action is that if you do do that other people will try the same thing. So I'm afraid that you'll have to just play it out and add him to your ignore list so that you can remember not to accept challenges from him again.

Have you considered that by stalking her through all these old threads, you're not exactly coming across as the picture of sanity yourself?

I don't think there should be an ignore list because in my opinion, it's unsportsman like conduct to put someone on your ignore list when they beat you. For example, when I beat King of Smooth, he immediatly put my on his ignore list, and I've been on it ever since. I'm wondering if he does that every time someone beats him. 😠 😕 🙁 😕 😠

Seems to me that it is some unsportsmanlike conduct that causes players too place players on their ignore list.

always when I start playing one of my rare open tournaments and look at the crowd of chess players wating for the start, I ask myself: why are 95 % of chess players so ugly? (and dressed less fashionable then my grandma)

Is there a law saying, well, only if you are ugly, have no life, no sex, no job, no taste, then you are one of us and can join a chess club?

What you think, zoot? Tell me please..

I had myself a laugh reading this...most people that say things like this on an internet forum where nobody can see what they look like are normally ugly themselves 😵

What do u call "simply boring stile"?

One of the most common questions that I see arise with online chess sites and over the board games is when it is proper to resign. First, let me state that you should never ask an opponent to resign. I myself sometimes have games between friends where I try and help them with their openings and tactics. I have told them when a game has reached the point that resigning is the only logical conclusion, but I myself will never message an opponent and tell them that they should resign. I have been tempted to do this many times, but it is not my place. An opponent has the right to play a game till the bitter end. They may just be learning and want to see how you end it. They may not be as familiar as you are with the game, and they might not see the checkmate coming, even when its forced, and as simple as two or three moves away. They may also be playing for a stalemate, and it is their right. It is your responsibility to make sure you win a won game, not theirs.
