Can anyone show me examples from GM play were a GM donates points in the manner we have seen i.e.
- resigning when ahead
- resigning when the game is level.

Originally posted by kopatovFischer alleged that the Russians did this often, and some of the players at the Curacao Interzonal in 1962 admitted as much, but you are still missing the point.

Originally posted by kopatovThere are thirty odd examples on TIm Krabbe's pages of players resigning when in winning positions of which probably the most famous is Von Popiel - Marco 1902.

He doesn't mention Short v. Arakhamia Grant (mobile phone game) which looks much the same as the game under discussion until you know the reason

I suppose Informant or Chessbase will have to come up with a new symbol to annotate the reason for the result, as otherwise it leaves a bewildering database entry.
Originally posted by kopatovGP, it is apparently going to take something stronger than tea. He still has the "donating points" blinders on, and the needle shows no signs of skipping to the next track.
A better way of donating rating points Thread 141288 instead of pretending to play. That way it will not look as if you were trying to play a game of chest.
Originally posted by kopatovDid you complain when your opponents donated rating points to you by timeout or where you happy enough to steal the ratings points?

Looks drawish to me, but then I'm a moron. 😞
