If everything happened exactly as Hermit described, then Sam deserves a -56 rating for such nonsense! What is this desire to win at any cost?
And in Hermit's place, I would simply refuse to play any further, as a sign of disrespect towards the opponent! It's very unsportsmanlike!!!! :smile18:
Thank you very much for your support, but I'd like to clarify the situation. Sam dogmatically used the rules to end the game not because he felt weaker and was afraid of losing. He was 100% confident in his victory and superiority over me, and I was indeed avoiding direct confrontation with Tazar at that time ("running around" isn't quite the right word), but this game, which seemed so boring and pointless to him, and so on, annoyed him so much that he decided to end it, even in this way, because the prospect of another 4-5 hours of such a game didn't even compensate for the joy of winning against me. That's why I agreed to a draw. But I was still hoping for a victory.
