It appears >to be _reality_. IMHO... You really are an obtuse rude man. At least I can admit error, you can't. I can look in the mirror, in your house, I doubt you have any. I gave you plenty of respect in the past, you've shown me none, it's not a One-Way Street Bob. AFAIC you have hit an all-time low, as I said to Matt, be careful people might step on you! When I taught chess to children, one of the most important things I instilled in the kids was good sportsmanship. To say the least I find you wanting in this area. If your so-called GM friends play against their opponents/peers, forcing them to play on when they are in badly lost positions, is nothing to be proud of, and sets a terrible precedent. This is _not_ about _rules_ it's about _decency_ and _honor_ and _respect_ I can't stress enough these virtues. It's incomprehensible that you are so dismissive to these _basic_ and _important_ ethics.
