Too Many Blunders in the Chess League (hope I'm not a bad influence)

I think we all have been pretty satisfied with the development of our great chess leagues. So much competition and so much fun.

I would like to point out to our very young field of strong chess players (maybe with the exception of @lighteye who's know how old he is, I think @jaki01 is a little old too) how fortunate you are to have these chess leagues. I think you all know that chess strengthen decision making and character. What you may not know is that some of my old friends (literately old)from back in the 70s' would have taken a part time job to pay for a league like we have here today. Its really bad that most of the old timers are afraid and refuse to play today.

Of course I take full advantage of the league and play every tournament. I definitely enjoy playing and would enjoy it a little more if I won more, maybe later I will. I have the memory of winning the 1974 Huntsville, Al city tournament and the 1981 Fort Bragg, NC Post Tournament(co-winners). Of course undefeated in these two tournaments and most others for a period of approximately 20 years.

Now as the years passed and I no longer had my college friends and army buddies to play against my play decline. And sad to say that my memory started to declining a little also. Some silly people started to say that I was not only losing my memory but was also losing my mind. They claim I thought everything was a joke no matter how serious it was(go figure).

Our good friend CM @eniolw suggested that I post about his blunders; However when I took a quick look I discovered it was nearly everybody! Many are complaining about their blunders in the chat. There is not enough time to display many of them quickly. So instead I'm proposing as appropriate we add some rules about blundering and ghosting pieces.

Below are two examples of blundering and ghosting that should not be allowed in any of the leagues. I suggest that every one point out blundering and ghosting examples that should not be allowed in the chess leagues.

I apologize for some of my prolific blunders. I don't want to set a bad example I will be watching. Enjoy the leagues, Enjoy the games but:

STICK TO THE TECHNICALS AND FUNDAMENTALS
