Hivechess Tournament Season 15 Round 3: @pamboy27 won in great style!

Dear chess fans,

yesterday the 3rd round of season 15 was played as a 4+3 arena with 31 players. Welcome to @alucian and @olujay who joined for the first time!

It was the day of @pamboy who could achieve his first tournament win, and what a win it was! The gap to the runner-up, @eniolw was 8 points! Congratulations!
@maestroask was left with the third rank, followed by a group of 3 players with equal points: @dhilan04 (tortyllan), @emic and @lucianosky (Pavarotty).

In my last game against @schamangerbert, close to finish, he (with the Black pieces) blundered a Queen on move 16 and was hopelessly lost 2 moves later, a draw offer I declined.
In this position instead of resigning, he let run his clock for >2min., just so that the tournament closed, and resigned immediately afterwards.

I was (and am still) really pissed off, his behviour didn´t get him a point and would not have affected his ranking, he was lost anyway, but I could have ended up to 3 ranks higher.
In mutual time scramble I think it is pretty obvious that you try to flag your opponent or swindle yourself to a stalemate even in a lost posiiton, but here we both had >4 minutes on the clock. I think this is a very unsportsmanlike behavior, and I hope we don´t see this anymore in the future. Yes, according to the rules this is allowed, but not everything which is allowed should be done. Not sure what would happen, if such a behavior would be shown by one of the super GMs in the champions chess tour - I think it is even not imaginable that one of the top shots could do this and get away with it. What do you think about it?

On another note, I registered for a classical OTB tournament here in Vienna, starting in May - 7 rounds Swiss. I have not played a classical tournament since ages. Will for sure be a disaster, but fun too!

Sort:  

Now this might be out of the blue... But I was wondering if you might be willing to do another HIVE TORCH thingy 😂 I really want a Torch badge on my profile?

Is this possible or how does it even work?

I am thinking about something similar... but no spoilers :)

Please do consider counting me in 😂😂😂😂

Sure, it will be announced in this blog! But it may take some time!

I've got nothing but patience I've been meaning to ask you like three months ago. 😅

Have a good one.
