not chess

in this game my opponent wrote to me in the chat "not chess".


I asked why, but he didn't answer me. What did he want to tell me? Have I done something wrong?
I think he meant it's only chess if he wins.

But you can ignore. Keep playing and winning :)
Your opponent just got a little bit upset that he lost on time in a bullet game.Just move on and keep playing as said above :)
He might be upset that he got dirty flagged, but it happens, and it is still chess, you didn't do anything wrong, and even GM's use this tactic of dirty flagging to win a game
He was upset because he thought he was going to win, but then he lost.
You used 0.1 seconds on your first 9 moves. On move 23 you blundered a piece with 57.4 seconds on the clock, while your opponent was down to 20.4 after the capture. Evaluation is -7.2 at that point, -11.8 at the end when your opponent ran out of time after 44 moves. You still had 42.5 seconds on the clock. You did nothing wrong, you played by the rules. But I know I would not play a rematch, not only because I would lose, but because I don't like opponents who only play for the clock and for nothing else. Flagging is an essential part of bullet, and I will fight hard to flag my opponents if I am in an inferior position usually, but your approach is something else.
Indeed you played clock, not chess. That's probably what he meant.
@teerdurchzogen,
Sorry, but if it's a short-time game, why should I think too hard? There's no time. I think only the masters see moves that I don't even remotely see. If it had been a long game, I would have made different moves, for sure.
