Suggest a better way to motivate people to think before starting a game they don't intend to finish.

It's not about the rating, but about the fact that it's unpleasant to play for 7-9 days and, in a good and interesting position, get stuck with an unfinished game for a month(s).

Are there any other means of influence besides the rating? Should we start giving out labels on the forum - "beginner"?

Why are you playing with those people? What’s the problem?

In the first game.

Those with whom you had your first games didn't care about your rating, so your method is doubly absurd.

A season isn't a tournament; here, everyone plays with whomever they want. If an opponent intentionally loses games, then you simply shouldn't play against them.

A season isn't a tournament; everyone plays with whoever they want. If an opponent intentionally loses games, then you shouldn't play with them, that's all.

So, if that happens, is that it?

We have a free forum; anyone who wants to play with anyone else can, and anyone who doesn’t want to play with someone else doesn’t have to.

R55Max, either play with reliable partners, or discuss the commitment before the game; if the opponent is unsure, then don't start. Not everyone is disciplined, after all.

zoog, what exactly are you suggesting we make mandatory?

We're talking about finishing games. Some people immediately ask – is it a game that can be completed in one sitting? But even with the option to finish it later, I believe that the vast majority of players won't have any problems. So, if someone promises to finish the game within a reasonable timeframe, they will. And pursuing those who aren't committed with strict rules – pff, it will just create more negativity on the forums.

Oldboy is right, because why should a player forgive another for such cheating? It's not a matter of rating, but a matter of mutual respect, fairness, and the inevitability of punishment... It really needs to be addressed in the rules...

Tell us later, guys, how much satisfaction you get from submitting an extra report in the seasonal league :rolleyes:

We're talking about unfinished games.

Can you give an example of a specific dialogue that should take place?
I hope you focus and write an example where both understand that they definitely won't finish the game tomorrow, but what happens after that is unknown.

Is your record stuck?
Answer the question that was already asked, and a relevant question at that.
I'm not too lazy to repeat it 1 (one) time.

By the way, the proposed idea doesn't concern tournament games at all.

So, submitting a report will save you from the feeling of having wasted several hours in a game that crashed?

:confused: Can't you even understand the question? Is that really unhelpful?
Okay, I won't waste any more time on you (meaning, I'll ignore the spammer) :D
