Hello Everyone,
I just want to talk about the ethics behind flagging opponents in various time controls and wanted to get everyone's opinion on when it is acceptable or not.
Here's my standing: I think it's completely acceptable to flag in bullet, especially if it's 1+0 (I flag opponents myself in 1+0). But when it comes to any form of blitz, whether it's 5+0 or 3+0, do you think flagging is ethical? I'm not saying no one should do it, but when is it good to resign in a blitz game? Personally, I do not feel that it's respectable to flag in a blitz game, especially when a player is losing out of the opening, but defends well but then loses on time.
What's your thoughts on flagging? Let's have a civil discussion about it :)
P.S. I'm sorry to my blitz opponent I just played, and I'm sorry about cursing in the chat. I was very tilted because I was down 2 pawns out of the opening, but I still defended, and even created a checkmating pattern that was unavoidable, yet I lost on time because you didn't resign when it was very clearly lost.
