Everlasting repeated draw offers
Everlasting repeated draw offers
In game g1105031684, malakhov has just made his third draw offer in three moves. This problem is not confined to this game. In general, I find that unless malakhov has the advantage, he sends draw offers on almost every move.
Does anyone else have this problem with malakhov, or is it just me?
In any case, I would very much appreciate the administrator doing something about it, since it is contrary to the customary laws of chess.

Hi, Josh! Long time no see!
I invited you to a couple of tournaments, and even asked Jonathon to relay the message to you, since the email I sent you was returned as undeliverable. It seems the challenges aren't being forwarded by the system right now. Hope Greg gets that fixed soon. However I'm pulling the plug on the Summer Summit Tournament I set up, and it'll be a Fall Festival Tournament instead. Perhaps people will have more free time in then. In the meantime, could you email me your correct email? It seems I screwed up your old one....Thanks.
I'm not even going to comment on Malakhov, since that's as pointless as his actions, and as silly as his complaints! Besides, I thought Malakhov was leaving this den of "Anti-Russian" cheaters a long, long time ago!
But regarding the Forum's silence, I've noted it also, Josh. and attributed a lot of it to the summer, vacations, kids being off school, etc. And also, I've had really nothing to report of the Zapper, so nothing to post on that topic either.
And I'm going to let Brian have the last word on Malakhov! He does it so well!

4th offer in a row
Malakov just made his fourth draw offer in a row, after
1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6 3.Ng1f3 Ng8f6 4.Nb1c3 e6 5.Bc1g5 Nb8d7 6.e3 Qd8a5 7.cxd5 Nf6xd5 8.Qd1d2 Bf8b4 9.Ra1c1 h6 10.Bg5h4 O-O 11.a3 Bb4xc3 12.bxc3 Qa5xa3 13.e4 Nd5f6 14.Bf1d3 b5 15.O-O Rf8e8 16.Nf3e1 e5 17.Ne1c2 Qa3f8 18.f4 exd4 19.e5 Nf6d5 20.Nc2xd4 Nd7b6 21.Nd4xc6 Qf8c5 22.Nc6d4 Bc8d7 23.Bd3b1 Nb6c4 24.Qd2d3 g6 25.f5 Bd7xf5 26.Rf1xf5 Nc4xe5 27.Qd3g3 Nd5xc3
It's possible that White may not win this but only an idiot as Black would offer a draw here. Fine; it's his right to offer a draw, but it's not his right to keep offering a draw, move after move.

This player is known for that behaviour, see the following thread:gospodin wrote:Does anyone else have this problem with malakhov, or is it just me?

5th in a row
He has just made his fifth draw offer in a row. So if he received a warning, he has ignored it. After the next draw offer, I would like a forfeit.

gospodin, I think he (or she) is messing with you mentally, irking you into a mistake. I have had played against a player OTB in a tournament and my opponent did the same thing. But, since silence was golden, I pretended to be deaf and n the end, he was bicthing and moaning about about me not accepting his draws. The organizer wanted to warn me, which surprised me, until I show him the possible continuation. My opp ate crow. LOL
I once otb did repeated draw offers. But the position was R+P+K vs R+P+K my opponent made me play this for 5.5 hours otb. At the end he was running out of moves to play that wasn't three repetition fold. it was 50 move draw when he had less than 3 seconds on his clock. Then he had to proceed to lecture me about how he was winning all along (roll eyes). So yes there are times when repeated draw offers are not only considered standard protocol but not even the slightest bit rude.
Of course in the position in question, its outrageous that he did offer more than one draw. He is clearly worse and would have to fight to get that draw.
