I agree that players should be willing to accept a draw or conceed when they're defeated. Once the outcome is obvious, its disrespectful to drag it out. Unfortunately some players aren't skilled enough to know when its obvious.

I also think there are some exceptions. There are times when I knew I was beaten and played longer than necessary. I just wanted to see how a better player would handle the end game. It was a learning experience.

david upshaw: Yap, I agree with you. In this case, I think Brady was skilled enough to know that the game was drawn and this was the main reason for my boredom.

Undertaker.: Yes. For your BKR, we can easilly understand it is a draw. Sometimes a player can loose the game for is "hunger", so... I think Manuel M is right, you just have to repeat your moves, and then ask Fencer to draw the game. And, if Brady really wants to win it... well, just wait to see what he'll do to win it. Sometimes this is a good way to YOU to win it. Someone that tries to win always take more risks... defending it's easier. Take this advantage. Just remember: HE wants to win it, not you. So... it's "stupid" if it is you to take the risks, just to force it to accept the draw.

Good game! ;)

Manuel M: Eheheheh.

For those who can't read in portuguese, I can explain you that we (me and Undertaker) were calling brady as "HE", but Manuel explained us that we should say "SHE".
