Sometimes I play chess online. There's a couple of really good sites on which one has the opportunity to play with chessplayers from across the world. You can also learn to play, watch chess championships and do many other useful things. However, as it comes about among people, personal ethics determines what's going on between players. We all want to win, and that might lead to tough situations. I don't like when people swear in a chat (I also do this sometimes, although I know that it's ignorant and rude), but what I hate is when your opponent is playing for time when losing. Instead of resigning a player just leave the game without finishing it or closing the site. In this situation, you or any other winner has to wait until the game time is over. That, probably, brings some satisfaction to those who lose, but makes the whole activity stupid. If negative emotions are the price of the victory, a chess game\the game of chess really becomes a war. That's sad.
