What's your playchess user Id? have you spectated any of my games? >so 5 moves are just nothing and you are able to annoy your winning opponent >again. see above.5 moves are reasonable,winning player should have oppurtinity to offer draw to ahis opponent if he had lless time left in his clock.otherwise the winning player would lose on time inspite of positinal and material advantage. >Sometimes I think such GUIs are only made by non chess players... Chess Grandmasters designed Chessbase GUI,its very nice and better than any other online server GUI's,better than Arena[not a 3d,no even a 2d]I might add. >What about the abort offers BTW? thats nonsense,winning player should have oppurtinity to accept the draw offer when he has enough time left in his clock >Such a feature only leads to permanent cheating attempts. Cheating?you couldnt cheat on chessbase server >(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) I would like to let you know that Playchess rating is not measured as per FIDe rating,Playchess rating evaluates very low for a good FIDE rated player,there are many players having 2200 FIDe rating but less playchess rating[about 1700] If the player is rated 2000 in playchess server,he might be around 2400 FIDE elo.and in other case,my internet connection is very slow,damn slow!and I was playing bullet games. >Guenther
