Rude OTB Players

Hi I was just wondering If any of you guys have ever encountered rude Over-the-board players, as I had this really bad experience with one.

I will just go through what he did.

1. He would constantly offer draws (this started around the endgame phase where I was an exchange up) literally, every three moves.

2.When he had a passed pawn he took a queen from my side whilst staring directly at me, and put it beside him, despite having over an hour left on the clock (with a 30 second increment, it was a standard tournament) He later gave me back the queen! 

3. After I lost on time (!) He told me that I should've taken his draw offers when I had the chance (I was pushing in a drawn endgame), as I will try to write it like he said it: "I offered you a draw many times, but you didn't accept." I was too shocked and shaken to reply immediately and my hands were shaking. I later muttered "Why you say that."

After the game, I was following him out of the ballroom, I confronted him and explained to him his rude behavior, he seemed quite taken aback. We later shook hands.

Afterwards he tried to befriend me, to make up for his rude behavior, but I was still angry at him. 

I later found out that you can report such things as constant draw offers if it disturbs you.

So that was my rude player experience, anyone else have theirs? 

Repeated draw offers is not acceptable behavior. But I'm not sure of the exact wording of the rules regarding it.

                    Why were your hands shaking for losing a game, and you were still angry at him even after he extended an olive branch ??

Multiple things:

1) You are not allowed to repeated offer a draw.  If you offer a draw in a middlegame position at move 23, and it's declined, and you play on, and you are now at move 41 in a Rook and Pawn ending (nothing like the position at the first draw offer), and you offer a draw - you have made no violation.  However, if you offer at move 23, and 25, and 28, and 31, and 37, and 38, etc, that's a violation and the person receiving all the offers should report it to the director.

2) What pieces your opponent touches off the board means nothing.  You should not be moving pieces around on your opponent's time, and you could be reported for that, but on your own time, if you want to move the Black Queen that was previously captured closer to yourself to be ready to promote soon, that's legal.  However, if you don't already have such a set, I would recommed getting a set with 34 pieces (4 Queens).  The extra queen starts off the board on your own side.  So what you typically see is White has the captured Black pieces and the extra White Queen on his side, so he doesn't have to reach across unless he's underpromoting.  Same thing goes for Black.

Is there any formal rule that limits the number of times you can offer a draw? Although it's annoying, I have never heard of any rule like that.

what really happens: OP got massacred, and his opponent was being arrogant but OP was too much of a sissy to say anything. OP ended up going to the bathroom to cry while typing this thread

@Kasporov_Jr Hahaha, I was white btw ;) 

After the 4th offer you should've called the arbiter and claimed the win. Giving 4 offers is considered as distracting the opponent. 

@tigerprowl ???

@TitanCG I was not aware of this rule

@Mersaphe, I was in time trouble, living off the increment (30 s) by the end, and when I pressed the clock with 1 second left, my flagged dropped and the time was 0:00, forfeit on time

I believe this was an OTB game. In OTB, you don't just resign. Especially when you have a position that, technically, is winnable.

This reminds me. I don't play in tournaments. But I was wondering what do you do when you call the TD. Do you pause the clock while doing so or what?

Yeah I think after the capture on move 49 the position is a draw, but I didn't want to say anything because the OP is better/higher rated than me :P

@titust Yes, after 47.g4, the computer called it equal and it should be because of the weak g4 pawn and blacks pressure against it, which should prevent white from winning. 

@General-Mayhem Hahaha, no need to be afraid to suggest any ideas! 

In 2011 I was playing a tournament in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Last round, the tournament hadn't really been a success as I had 4 out of 8, and in that last round I played some dude around 2000 rating whereas I was like 1850 at the time. The dude was extremely overweight and ugly and can best be described as an ugly version of a truck driver. I was playing white, and the first moves of the game were
1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 e6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Bc5 which surprised me. Anyway, the middle game was really chaotic and we got in time trouble and when he took my Queen I immediately recaptured, without first having written his move on the scoresheet. Recapturing the Queen before writing his move down was more of a reflex rather than a rational ''I save time this way'' but the dude then told me ''You must follow the rules''. I was rather surprised by this and the first thing I replied was ''That is what I am doing'' and then the fat guy really got mad and snapped ''You can also reply in a normal way!'' and then I felt like saying ''You can also go on a diet'' but I didn't, ended up just writing the moves down the way he wanted it so avoid any trouble and after the game ended in a draw I just shook hands with that guy. Apart from who was right, I do not think it's best to start with ''You must follow the rules!'' I think it's more polite to say ''Hey, you are actually supposed to write down my move before you do your own ok?'' 

Also another time, in a club vs club match, I beat some dude in a Sicilian game. I had quickly managed to play Bh6 after which Bxh6 and Qxh6 made it impossible for him to 0-0 and his king was stuck in the middle. Turned out that with a quick f5 he would have lost within a couple of moves, instead the game dragged on and I won anyway. Then during the analysis of the game the guy was just... annoying. It is hard to describe especially now I dont remember it too well but he was just getting on my nerves. Then I was the one who became rude with saying ''I think you should be glad you did not lose within 20 moves'' but he was not too offended he just said ''Thanks for the cynism''

For the rest I can't remember really ''rude'' players, just players that non-verbally annoyed me with making diff kinds of noice or just having a really unsympathic aura (dont know a better word for this). 

Unsympathetic aura = bad vibes?

                  My aura is covered in guilt.

Yes, seems accurate after I googled its definition ;p

Yeah I'm sure that is how it works. I haven't played otb in a long time though so you should check your organization's rule book to be sure.
