Now THIS is the definition of a dirty flag


Well a dirty flag is called that if you swindle/flag your opponent out of a win even if you have less time and/or were losing.
It's not actually dirty, but I mean it is dirty lol in a good way.


Yep lol

I mean it might be a dirty flag, but I call it a dirty flag when I flag by an opponent with a queen sac/rook sac or if he missed m1 because he timed out. 😏

Yea, that too. But when you're really close to losing on time AND losing in the game yet somehow flag your opponent, that's good. (at one point, I had 5 seconds, and he had 12) It was also 3|0, so im kinda surprised how that win somehow forumulizeed

This is the alpha and omega on 'flagging'. If you play blitz/bullet, this is the lay of the land. If you get flagged it is because YOU ran out of time. And because there are no rules around WHAT type of move you are allowed to make, it is perfectly legal to make 'safe' moves to not give your opponent who is in time-trouble any time to think about what is next. If you don't like this fact about blitz/bullet, don't play that time control.
Yes, I know I made some mistakes, etc.
But the main point of this forum is HOW I won
I won with 0.01 seconds left on the clock
. Had he made one more move, I would have been toast, but he didn't. Such is how I mooched off 9 rating points
