I suppose we've all had our share of poor sports.  Recently I was playing
2 games at ChessVariants (both against the same opponent, at his
invitation).  After several moves (which were made quickly on both our
parts) I was down a pawn in one game.  Later, after I went up a piece, I
noticed that both games disappeared.  I sent an e-mail to my opponent to
see if he knew what happened.  Yes, indeed.  It seemed that it was too
hard to enter moves into the Courier so he deleted both games.  Funny that
while he was a pawn up the entering of moves was not a problem.  Anyway,
it just makes me feel a little better to vent this.

I don't like this kind of thing any more than you do. I was recently
playing a game that my opponent deleted as soon as I got ahead in
material. But the timing was good, because it inspired me to make every
game in the tournament immune to deletion by the players.
