A player can decide in any moment to leave game without resign and start a new game imediately without loosing current game. And that force other player to wait time to run out or somewhere at least 30 seconds before message pop out ot force resign.... very anyoing when almost every game players do that...
How they do that and how to prevent that????? Idk why everyone here is so agressive about loosing
If someone does that to you then you can also leave the screen as well and pretend like you are gone but really watching the game from far from your profile and then when he makes a move once his timer reaches 1 second in hopes that he can now flag you, you then come back and mock him, and then you play your move and watch his 1 second flag.
He's referring to people who actually just disconnect from the game when they lose.
To be fair, the 30 second timer is there to prevent people losing from a legitimate internet hiccup. If you're too impatient to wait 30 seconds to flag, then maybe you should stop playing chess.
i have no problem, but it was like 3-4 times in a row with different people. That's a problem.
What if lichess automatically prompted a player after three minutes of inactivity?
The inactive player would then have 30 seconds to respond that they are still playing, otherwise lichess would post the familiar "player may have left the game" advisory -- which would allow the player waiting to declare victory (or not, they wouldn't have to).
This would put the control back into the hands of the player who's just been walked-off on, instead of having to wait to earn his victory. It also provides a good-faith fail-safe.
I've had several walk-offs this week -- two of which were in the 10-minute range!
When I'm playing a rated game, I'm not about to throw away ratings points and reward the clowns that walk-off with a "win" and points to boot.
I've NEVER been walked-off on by an opponent who's winning the game.
NEVER.
Have you?
Point being, I don't buy the "there may have been a connection error" excuse. Because, if so, one should experience people who are winning the game walking-off. And, like I said, that just NEVER happens.
The walk-off is becoming just one more douchebag tactic to steal a "win" and give you the old FU contempt. These guys are merely garden variety Internet trolls practicing in a new arena.
The point is that after 30 seconds (or at least some reasonable amount of time, maybe it's based on a percentage of the starting game clock) of them leaving the game it's supposed to give you said familiar box. Hence why I said it's silly that we're complaining about waiting 30 seconds after a walk-off. If you are having walk-offs and the box isn't coming up after a certain amount of time, then report it as a bug.
Also, just a small word of advice to #5. Get familiar with the site a bit before you start chucking around advice. I know you're excited to be here and start converation and work toward ideas to improve things, but maybe ease your way in a little. The devs work very hard on this place, and I can already see them getting frustrated with your misdirected enthusiasm. :)
I block those who do that.
In some cases there's no "bad connection" excuse, since you can hover their name and see that they're playing another match (and for some reason the "claim victory" still doesn't show), so they just chickened out but don't want to resign, but make you wait. OK, then. That's so childish, I resign even if I just need to go to use the bathroom, but I'll happily wait until the opponent forfeits by time or the "claim victory" shows, in these cases.
It is passive aggressive small revenge.
Static_shadow is right, though. It doesn't take long to claim victory, in most cases.
I am not annoyed by it at all.
just do what I do, ban everyone who leaves.
