DON'T PLAY THIS PATZER

I am winning a game against airforceone handily. I notified him that I had mate in 4 and he messaged me back calling me A**hole.

Its best you do not mention another players name on the general GK forums,regardless of another players behavior or what he wrote to you.You could eventually get in trouble yourself for doing so,no matter how correct you are.Its best to complain to GK direct,do not erase his comments in your messaging center,note the time,date,ect and let them send a warning to him,if they warrant it.Its my understanding that he may get his messaging privileges suspended and if he has had other complaints and his account could disappear even if he was a premium member.Take note that responding back to the player in question by messaging him in an equal eye for and eye bad remark retaliation can also lead to your messaging privileges being taken away.So,its best to simply place that player on your ignore list,if you have not already done so.

So...do it the "smarter way",say nothing in the forums and nothing back to him,just complain
to GK direct.That usually has "more power"than other methods.

When it comes to a "mate in four"or mate in anything,I never even bother telling my opponent that fact.I just plug in the conditional moves and patiently wait for his demise.Sure,you want to get the game over more quickly,but correspondence chess is also about patience on both sides,so waiting for another 4 moves is no big deal.Let him discover his demise like a spear coated in poison coming out of the dark.
