I deem it very bad manners and insulting for a player who has an obviously lost position to play on in the forlorn hope that his adversary will commit a childish blunder. RHP appears to approve and institutionalize these bad manners in the posted diagrams of checkmates appearing on the home page as almost all of these diagrammed checkmates involve games wit ...[text shortened]... as to indicate that the games had been lost many moves before the checkmate. What to you think?
I cannot imagine why you think playing a game according to the rules can be construed as bad manners. You say "in the forlorn hope that his adversary will commit a childish blunder." well that is the essence of chess - blunders. Else all games would be drawn. How else do you win?
Originally posted by ChessPraxisThey claim to be recent mates but they are not and some of the same ones keep popping up over and over. There was a period when BillyDean had a mate every time I looked and sometimes when all three listed was by him.
Those are recent mates, usually just happened that instant, and are randomly chosen.
I can understand why they did not like my first checkmate since my opponent did not play well. This was the 3rd game I finished on RHP.
My next checkmate however was against a stronger opponent and it was the 5th game that I finished on RHP. At this time I was playing like OTB chess without moving the pieces around for I had not discovered the analyze feature yet.
After I discovered the analyze board I had the following checkmate:

I don't disagree, but many players here are products of the internet blitz age, have never played tournament OTB or serious correspondence chess in the postal era and are simply ignorant of these conventions. Some will identify that they are losing but be unaware that their position is hopeless, lost or resignable.
Others believe that because FIDE ru will be a blitz tournament somewhere, sometime, when we will be glad of the practice.
BTW, Aldan, welcome to Red Hot Pawn! What is your OTB rating if you don't mind me asking? Also, are you in the US, if so, what state? Not trying to get your address just wondered if you were nearby. I don't get much chance for OTB play. I think we are rated fairly close to each other, at least here. You may be on your way up to 2000, you are relatively new here. I am a genuine old fart, 71 yo and so am not going to advance much beyond 1700 where I am now.

From my experience in air traffic control, developmental controllers tend to perform far worse just after a huge rush of traffic that required strong focus... They perform spectacularly with 15+ airplanes in their airspace but once it dies down, and they only have a few planes, that's when they make stupid mistakes. This same phenomenon happens in chess and it is for this reason that I take no offense when my opponents opt to continue playing in lost positions. It is easy to get lazy and make mistakes after you have secured a winning position, and so it is often possible for the losing position to capitalize on that and turn the lost game into a drawn game, or even a win.

Originally posted by AldanSo if I have manners while punching the crap out of you , that's ok?
Manners are what separate man from brutes apes. Yes, I will most definitely play on but not knowingly with brutes. I am glad to relate that several of my recent adversaries have demonstrated good manners by resigning in lost positions. I have done this myself and will continue to do so.
Originally posted by eedfsdfHere is one of the games that I quit analyzing the game assuming I had an easy win now that i was up a rook. This was a rated OTB game at the Columbia Chess Club in South Carolina played against John P. Zeimetz who had the black pieces.
