There are a lot of ways to tackle this, and the first rule is to complain to the admins on chess.net if you think your opponent is rude or behaving abusive. There is no need to take this in a public forum, as it might damage you more than repair the damage you think it might have been done. The general opinion here could well be: "if there is smoke, there will be fire, the guy complaining so loud has been caught and now he tries to control the damage by accusing the opponent." I'm not speaking for anyone else here, but this could well happen. Try to contact your opponent by leaving him a message on chess.net first, and eventually private email if available second, and ask him for clarification, as the place should be a playsite, not a no-playsite. You're right. But that is seldomly caused by people putting people on no-playlists for nothing. Most of the time it's done because of stupid computer cheaters I'm not looking for and other abusive behaviour. You must understand - and certainly will agree - it is *very* irritating to play cheaters; not because the "cheating", but because I logged in to find a decent, human opponent. I have all the software at home, and don't need an online server for finding out I'm playing a computer (cheater). You are obviously not, so try to settle that with your opponent and chess.net, not with us. Jeroen ;-}
