![]() Well,finally my blitz opponents can defeat a 2500 rated blitz player(originally on Instantchess and other blitz sites) AND win on move #1 without me resigning! Congratulations....well done and of course,well earned!There are "new rules"of chess that the GK computer has gracefully engaged from the start of rated GK chess which are wonderful....aren't they?For some they are,I suppose.I am at 2175 rated GK blitz now and with wonderful losses like the game above,if the losses continue even sporadically,I will reach 2500 in about 20 years playing 50 games or more a day if I live that long.I am thrilled at the good prospects,even if higher rated opponents appear in the blitz room.I now know WHY some of the best of the best and top blitz players around the world will not come to GK for the word is out.But that is besides the point. It would be nice if someone fixed the broken arm of GK blitz sometime before I pass away. If that happens,maybe,just maybe GK may gain more profit through more members appearing! What a new evolutionary thought! Yes,GK blitz is the best.If you believe that one,I will tell you another one. Stay tuned.Sure,I can stay out of the GK blitz room,but how else can I bring wonderful and glorious stories to you without showing you these nice gems?If only others would also post their glorious wins and losses in this thread with only one move or no moves being made.So many blitz sites over the decades which follow the normal rules,yet GK has to be "wonderfully different". Yes,chess life is "wonderful" on GK and I am tickled pink with such wonderful and legal things going on here for quite a long time now. TA |

![]() no one should win or lose with either zero moves made or only one move like in the example above and others I have listed.Perhaps if the game was on move 10 or so with connection issues,I might think otherwise.But move 1 or no moves....ridiculous to lose points or gain points.If the game registered as zero points for both opponents where no one won or lost...then ok,I accept that.I would even accept the GK blitz report to say I lost(when I did not),as long as no points lost or gained.The problem is deeply embedded in GK's own program.In reality,I do NOT even remember a game appearing in front of me with that game above with vukl.So,it was the equivalent of a ghost game that never appeared in front of me.So,I did not even have a chance to move.So,I would not blame cloudfare,but GK itself for not ripping apart their chess software programming and reexamining everything.I am no computer expert like my nephew,but this has been going on now for as long as the rated blitz has existed.Now,I checked with my friends on two other blitz sites and there are zero issues with games being counted with only 1,2 or zero moves made. 3 moves or more is a different story.One player who is a senior master told me that they use the same connection as GK's on their blitz site,but I have not confirmed that.Bu even so,its a moot point,for there are no reports on the other main blitz sites that players are winning or losing with zero moves being made or 1 or 2 moves...regardless of any connection issues that DO occur from time to time. A repeat example: gameknot.com No moves made and a win and loss between me and chesplyr?Total retardation to the max. GK has not set up something correctly.This never happened with the unrated blitz,not that I can remember anyway.Unrated has no points of course,but I do not remember a win or loss registered with less than 3 moves.But unrated seems dead now.I see no good reason to even enter the blitz room to only be "shot down"at random and whenever some clitch suddenly and sporadically appears again.Its interesting to note that it only appears with me,perhaps ever 100 games or so.But even 2 points lost for me is a biggie to get back at my elevated rating. An uphill grind that I will not continue to try and conquer. Oh well,its not that these things actually bother me that much,but others will be concerned more than me in time.I think that I am the highest rated in blitz on GK for now,so I felt duty bound to show others these games.But as kingdawar stated: "It's just bad programming, clearly games with fewer than 3-5 moves should just be aborted, and there's all kinds of other issues with disconnects not being handled properly anyway" "If they had spent just 15 minutes on monitoring this feature after roll-out they would have known this. But they delivered this product and management just disbanded the team. It's insane". I agree with kingdawar 100%.But let me add...that any "disconnects"with zero moves,1 move or two moves,even without a proper "reconnection"(which I had to press once in a while to reconnect a game and get a ding sound)should STILL NOT have any points won or lost with less than 3 moves.And zero moves made with points gained and lost(as in the example above)not only "takes the cake"....but the "cake"has razor blades in it.Never mind my gallows humor again!
