#8 dear tpr - I knew you will be here so let me address your lessons learned from my perspective xD
1) Increments are boring! That sounds like playing real chess - and I wanna gamble, its fun to flag and to be flagged!
2) Nevermind, I never ask for takebacks - but I do grant takebacks for obvious slips and especially when playing much lower rated opposition. The only lesson I have learned is to watchout for the offer I get. I cant blame a 1500 rated player for considering a rook ending with only 2 pawns down as equal and offering a draw...
3) Agreed: in fast games there is no point to waste time for draw offers, it will get missed anyway by a (pre)move.
Better: mutual draw agreement by moving back and forth for 3fold or give perp, trade to K vs. K by taking the last pawn/piece.
4) No way! Hitting resign button twice is a mental torture. :< I prefer being one click away from next game and this confirmation is not letting me "escape" from the loss.
#9 Such humor is not appreciated. :( and #10 is something very loooooong.
Resign button? How never told me someone, there is a resign button?
I loose Queen and bishops and knights and rooks... and there is a resign button?
I missclick my king and he makes one move, when he should be castled.
Almost nobody gives you a second chance. It` s okay.
We say : "Chantal. Heul' leise!"
That means bad break (or so)...
#13 You have a vivid imagination. No wonder you feel bad losing your men and one woman.... 😄
