resigning with game comment

Post by slowblunder » Wed Aug 09, 2006 2:54 am

When I resigned my latest game, I added a short comment and congratulations in the comment box. By comment in our other game I asked my opponent about his opinion, but he replied that my first comment hasn´t been visible for him - probably because I resigned and didn´t make a move.

In my eyes, the end-of-game-comment should be kept visible when resigning. Maybe in other games the opponents resigned adding a short "gg" (good game), "well done" or something else which I see as a gesture of courtesy. But I never know if they did.

Maybe it is not so important for others, but for me it is. We shared weeks or months playing a single game of chess, there should be an easy way to say "thanks for the game, but next time I will crush your skull, have a nice time until then". And the easiest way is the comment box.

Resigning Comments.......

Actually, I have noticed that when the results of the match have been emailed to both you and the opponent that the comment is present at the bottom of the email. I haven't really noticed if this takes place with everyone, but for me it sure does.

Also the comment will still be displayed on the game page until the game gets archived (about 3am or so Eastern time).
