Well no one over here seems to be reading Lightfallsup posts. He's being pretty clear that it is just his opinion and that he doesn't think repetition to be illegal, rather annoying and unethical.
Sure to every experienced chessplayer this seems like idiocy, but if it is the way he thinks about it, let him be. It's not like he's trying to force you to stop ...[text shortened]... use the rule in advance of the game, if see no problem if you both choose to disregard it.

i've had a look at this game and what is clear is that after move 20 you were obviously lost and persisted in dragging the game out and exploiting a loophole. After your queen was lost you got even more unsporty and tried to obtain infinite checks with your Rooks that were designed to carry on the game forever. You should be ashamed of yourslef. This was very unfair as a true sportsman would play a deliberately inferior move.

I see lightfallscup has`nt posted on this thread for a while i think he`s conceded that he is completley wrong about HIS version of how chess should be played,regarding perpetual check, and this thread is now CLOSED hopefully.

Originally posted by lightfallsupI dunno what you have been taking but chess is not one of those games where you lie down and let your opponent "walk over" you. If there is a chance of perpetual check your opponent can take this. Did you know about the 50 move rule?
i've only been playing here for a few months (i used to play on gameknot), and one of the things i've noticed is that the most common strategem here on this site (it's happened in 20% of my games) is that when it's clear you can no longer win you just perpetually put the player who is about to win in check so taht they may not deliver the final blow. n uch as i see it, i can't be the only one having it happen to them.
any thoughts?
