Why was this forum even created? Everybody knows what sportsmanship is... :/
What is Fair Play or Sportmanship in Chess exactly?
Sort:
playing rook against rook is unfair
I just received a message from CHess.com. They told me some people I played violated the rules of fair play. I wish I would have known this sooner. I am rated <1000 and almost quit when game after game that I played people played 95.8-99.4% accuracy. I was really depressed because no matter how much I studied I was not this accurate and others were improving so much faster than me. Now I know that was not the case. derdmann852
Found the definition , with this article on Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sportsmanship
Sportsmanship is an aspiration or ethos that a sport or activity will be enjoyed for its own sake. This is with proper consideration for fairness, ethics, respect, and a sense of fellowship with one's competitors. A "sore loser" refers to one who does not take defeat well, whereas a "good sport" means being a "good winner" as well as being a "good loser"[1][2] (someone who shows courtesy towards another in a sports game).
Why ? How? apply a fair play ? What do you think ?
