I draw a game of chess on ICC (45 0) which I *think* I should have won, although it ended in a draw. I had a queen at the end, my opponent a knight.

I was eventually running low on time (I had about one minute, my opponent 38 mins), and managed to get my queen and king falked by

Is it just me, or are the majority of people who play on ICC unbelievably rude ? If you beat them, they abuse you verbally. If they beat you, they gloat and remark on your poor strength.
