Ethics as related to the 50 move rule and bullet chess at ICC

 

Mexican chess player Robert Rosarito plays for draws with the White pieces inviting early Queen Trades because he presumes he can outplay his opponent in the ending. Lewis McClary, a Texas player, endorses the Moron's defense which was actually studied in depth by a gentlemen named Glen Wilson from Dallas. 

Andrew Hanson of Arizona, who teaches chess, has had some success welcoming his opponent to give up the lady in the first 5 moves of the game.

In 3 minute chess, the 50 move draw rule comes into play especially when one of the players has mismanaged their time and then begs for a draw when they reach a theoretically drawn position as in the game below.

Note that the last pawn move of b6 was played on move 79 as seen in the game score below. Robert Rosarito's time expired in a position where no legal move would have resulted in splitting the point! That is what Rosarito deserved for being way behind on the clock! Dick Head made sure of that!! Roberts last move happened on move 122 making it 7 moves shy of 50 without any pawn moves or any type of capture. Dick Head won fair and square despite whining Robert's opinion on the matter! 

Alec Bojalad is familiar with ethics as it applies to chess and he also into other Geek stuff like unconventional chess sets.
