Increasing level of bad sportsmanship in anonymous games

What is going on? I play a good bit of anonymous chess. More and more, I see players quit the game without resigning when in a losing position. Would love to get some analysis on this. Where is this lack of civility coming from?

What do you expect from anonymous players

Analysis on this? You mean like psychoanalysis?

There's nothing wrong with expecting good sportsmanship from everyone, anonymous or not. Unfortunately, there are bad sports. And when unchecked they regrettably stop pretending they aren't.

It seems to be getting more prevalent. I'm wondering is it a thing that teachers are teaching newer players to disdain their opponents - like some kind of additional element of Armour in their training
Or is it self loathing.? Or just part of some kind of lack of sense of community among players?

I notice that often when a player is belting out moves in a 2 minute game, and any difficulty is encountered, these players have a higher probability of leaving the game without resigning. Leading me to suspect it's younger players are involved. My thought was not to add more controls to the game - although I'm sure some sort of IP capture and correlation to quitting could give some possibilities, but rather, to incorporate some etiquette training in the programs for newer players

If nothing else, teach the newer players to persevere in face of difficulty - like a Djokavic on the tennis court

Kids have been taught that everyone is a winner.. win or lose... it’s one of the most degenerative steps that has evolved in sports and education.

The reality is that life isn’t giving you a winning rosette or a trophy just for turning up.

@DarkenDuck Hmm, when I look at my unrated games last month, only 2 out of 80 opponents left the game early.

Maybe it has to do with a shorter patience span, since I don't play bullet (like you), but almost only rapid.

Have fun anyway!

It doesn't bother me at this stage. Now, what I do is wait an appropriate amount of time, depending on previous cadence of moves, and allowing for time for adaptation to the new position and if I estimate that there's a high probability the opponent will leave, then I just resign and move on. For ex, opponent is insta-moving, then drops a piece and no move for 10-15 seconds = very high probability he or she is going to quit the game.
Just seems like it's an issue trainers and organisers should address to help build character in our young players and not a generation of cry-baby sore losers, if indeed it is younger players involved.
