White Disconnects and Forfeits in this Chess Game

One of the possible conditions in Blitz Chess at an American Online chess site is that if one of the contestants disconnects for whatever reason, then he loses or forfeits the game.

A member of this Internet Chess Club named SkydiverReturns disconnected in the diagrammed position below facing an unstoppable checkmate. Most of the players there are gentleman and exhibit exemplary sportsmanship choosing to resign and admitting their defeat graciously.

But this 1480 player who always castles queenside no matter what his opponent does conducted an unjustified "attack"  and chose to resign by disconnecting rather than pressing the resign button admitting his inferior play. The Black Horse at the c4 square and Queen at a3 overwhelm the exposed White Monarch when the American Fish was too embarrassed to resign like an honorable competitor.

The Engineering Correlation To Chess

One would expect there to be positive correlation between engineering ability and chess, but a person with the ICC name of Engineer does not support that view.

As you can in the diagrammed position a chess player named Engineer with the Black pieces prefers to let White slowly suffocate him. Black just moved his King's Knight back and forth waiting to be crushed with the inevitable checkmate!

White has a massive space advantage which Black appears to have desired. All of Black's minor pieces are cramped with no squares to land on.

I always thought of the engineering profession as one populated by independent, critical thinkers, but this internet chess club weak 1400 player casts some doubts.
