I'm still new to the site, so my rating is still fluctuating wildly. What's funny though is that, in the final round, I ran into one of those "perfect chess paradigm" players. One of those guys who should never lose a game and gets insulted if you dare to stand up to them after they gain what they perceive to be an edge.
Anyway..here's the game:
http://www.chess.com/livechess/game.....l?id=302280306The critical moment comes on move 40. I had not played well at all and was down 2 pawns. Just hanging on in hopes of maybe a prepetual check or a blunder. Both of us were under 1 minute. Looking at that game now, he actually hung his rook on that move and I failed to see it, opting for Rh2+?. Not to be outdone, he coutnerblunders with Kg8?? instead of blocking with the rook, which...as you can see, loses the queen by force after 42.Qe8+! Qf8 43.Rh8+!!. So...after I limped home with my queen vs rook edge, the following conversation ensued. I really shouldn't feed the trolls, but I couldn't resist....
MilwaukeeBeerBaron: pathetic win on time
MilwaukeeBeerBaron: No honor, on your part
dl_leonine: you hung your queen...not my fault
MilwaukeeBeerBaron: Because of time pressure
MilwaukeeBeerBaron: I out played you the entire game
dl_leonine: don't play 5 0
MilwaukeeBeerBaron: You are kind of a sleeze bag
MilwaukeeBeerBaron: You won by network lag
MilwaukeeBeerBaron: Honorless
MilwaukeeBeerBaron: And you know your were outplayed
dl_leonine: LOL
MilwaukeeBeerBaron: Pathetic little one
dl_leonine: scoreboard!
MilwaukeeBeerBaron: Strongly consider suicide
dl_leonine: my king does that enough, LOL
MilwaukeeBeerBaron: You were outplayed until I had only 20 seconds left
dl_leonine: chess is a game of blunder and counter blunder...doublely true for blitz
MilwaukeeBeerBaron: You won because of the network
MilwaukeeBeerBaron: No duma$$
MilwaukeeBeerBaron: You won because of the network
MilwaukeeBeerBaron: You didnt earn it
MilwaukeeBeerBaron: If you were really a chess player
dl_leonine: ...salt in the wound...I've been awake over 24 hours
MilwaukeeBeerBaron: you would recognize your position was not good
MilwaukeeBeerBaron: I dont care
MilwaukeeBeerBaron: You are honorless
MilwaukeeBeerBaron: Pathetic people (like you)
MilwaukeeBeerBaron: ruin online chess for everyone
dl_leonine: not good...until it was good
MilwaukeeBeerBaron: truly disgusting
MilwaukeeBeerBaron: You are a bad person
dl_leonine: play 15 0 next time
MilwaukeeBeerBaron: and a bad player
dl_leonine: if I'm a bad player...what does that make you
