Some people dont know when to resign!


Most people think that not the win, but the good play is important; it seems that egogames is not one of them, however. Instead of following the go etiquette (if there is any over the net), he doesn’t resign in games in which he loses by a lot (50+ !!), and waits for his opponent to make a mistake or lose by time. Nevertheless, when he wins he stays in the game with hours; when he loses he leaves immediately. Of course that is his own business, but isn’t this just the wrong attitude, behaving so rude just in order to get your rank a bit higher?

This article is a joke and should be deleted.

Pointing fingers at specific peoples for a blitz games(10 sec per moves) is simply nonsense and very disrespectful for the person being pointed.

Regardless of the reason posting such things while targeting a person in particular is trash.

What kind of crap article is this? Of course you can play as long as you want. In blitz you never know what will happen.

If you can't stand time pressure, why play blitz in the first place? The hardest game to win is a won game.

Huge mistakes is a natural part of 10s blitz, white made a huge mistake in the opening but there is no reason to assume that black won't make one later. It's perfectly reasonable for w to keep playing. If one doesn't like this then don't play 10s blitz.

Why use a webpage like this to slander a person? I think that is just low. You can make your point about bad go-etiquette without trowing out names.

For other people, seeing this article out of context can get a really bad impression of this person based on this one instance.

I doubt that with 0 main time and 3x10 byoyomi one can save time to think longer later.

You can see that I didnt put my game up, so you cannot tell I am angry at some of my opponents. I think clock is not a natural end of a game of go. The natural end is counting territory, or a resign. So, I think it is a honorable thing to do to resign this game. It would be like continuing a game yolu are losing by 25 points and have no chance to come back(on their level) on a slow time setting...

It's not a pleasant sight, but I think it's within whites right to continue the game for as long as he wants to.

White probably did simple oversights (or thought he did) under time pressure, which gave black his advantage in the first place. Under blitz it's only fair to expect the same from black.

I think that Lovro is right... those people really don't know what to with their lives. They know that they will learn much more if they win at any price, even filling the board until opponent resigns. It's important that he learned that from the game...
By the way, egogames didn't have any chance in this game! Totally crushed
