I absolutely hate when people do this

In this game (see below) my opponent played e4 and I played c5, planning for a Sicilian defense. However, my opponent just sat there doing nothing for 6 minutes! Then he resigned! When I went to his profile, I saw he started a new game and he was actually playing! Can anyone explain why people do this? lichess.org/o9oPuJe3x8Eb

Bad internet or glitch?

@ak909 Might be sandbagging, losing on purpose. He will get temporarily banned for that if it was.

@FishNotADish I don’t think so it said he was online the whole time...

@ak909 That is one method of sandbagging.

@learningchesskid3 wow...it just irritates me so muchh

Some people just hate the Sicilian!

Interestingly though, here you can apparently get rating points for one-move games.

I don't understand why he would resign this early.

lol
