Arrogant player pnwed bad

Hi there forum,

this happened a few days ago.

I (1200+) was playing as black and my opponent - who is a 1500+ player kept taunting me during the game:

AdityaTodmal: Resign man
AdityaTodmal: game is over
AdityaTodmal: Have some integrity please [he probably meant to say: "dignity"]
AdityaTodmal: lol you're just wasting your time

And guess what: not only did I beat him, I am now also the lowest ranking player ever defeating him in a blitz game.

Do you have experienced stuff like that yourself? Happy to hear your stories!

Congratulations for the nice comeback. But I don't think he was being that rude. When you get to higher levels not resigning IS considered bad etiquette. But it feels really good to come back.

Good game! :)

How come it's bad etiquette to not resign in a blitz game? Under time pressure your opponent might blunder so why shouldn't you push till the end? Also, flagging your opponent in blitz is considered a legitimate way to win a game. Even Hikaru himself rarely resigns in a lost position if there is a possibility to flag.

It's not bad etiquette if you're not totally lost. If there is a chance to come back in blitz, I say play on

This etiquette rule does not exist.
There are people who want to win easily, simply waiting for the opponent to resign.

Probably most common - very satisfying to beat jerks who like to add time when they think they have wining position using exactly this time.

Karma is a b*tch when you are. Good comeback, he deserved it.

Are you using the light background?
Very unepic I must say.

I see no reason to defend the 1500. That was an immature display of poor sportsmanship. There should be no disrespect in this site. I once had an opponent calling me a loser for... trading pieces..? and not playing positional chess..? He even stated that I was wasting his time. I'm just trying to play chess, man. Challenge Carlsen or something if you're so bored of 1200s :c
Anyway, props to you, CBChrysippos! Not just for winning, but for trying as well. I respect determination :]
