Most people play blitz or even bullet there,(you e.g. play only bullet I see...) so 5 moves are just nothing and you are able to annoy your winning opponent again. Sometimes I think such GUIs are only made by non chess players... What about the abort offers BTW? Such a feature only leads to permanent cheating attempts. (There are lots of cheaters anyway, if one searches through the lists, one can find people with ridiculous national ratings having > 2300 in bullet and blitz) Guenther
