Re: Lichess temp ban for flaggers.
If opponent does not resign you can also take the slowest way to win the game. What happens is that opponent gets bored and will resign. I remember once making a walk around the border of the board with my king. But you have to do a pawn move once in a while to reset the fifty moves rule.

Re: Lichess temp ban for flaggers.
You just reminded what I like to do to people who prolong the inevitable. I will get 3-4 more queens and totally humiliate them. They will usually resign BUT it sometimes can backfire as you are covering so much board that you stalemate themHenk wrote:If opponent does not resign you can also take the slowest way to win the game.

Re: Lichess temp ban for flaggers.
I see there's also a temporary ban for people who refuse to start the game.
Warning, juninhunh. Failing to start games will result in a temporary ban.
Game aborted by server
Good. I hate those idiots that refuse to play, because they got to play as black instead of white, or some other stupid reason.

What the hell is a disconnect trick ?! I think that a player always loses by disconnection automatically, doesn´t he ?

Not sure about Lichess. On FICS, it depends on whether or not the user is registered.Ponti wrote:What the hell is a disconnect trick ?! I think that a player always loses by disconnection automatically, doesn´t he ?

Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.

Great news. This will reduce the fill rate of my kill file by estimated 20% at least.
