What's with the hostility of some players

I think I tried 1/0 bullet once; it seemed ridiculous.  But I can see here that as long as you think of it as a completely different skill it's fine.  Still not the sort of game I could play (too old) but I've learnt something here.  Same for the 1 day a move chess - not my thing but some people love it.

Incidentally about losing; Svidler made an interesting point yesterday during the WCC commentary when asked what chess taught you.  He said the ability to lose and deal with it.  Even the very best chess players lose occasionally, and certainly a lot on the way up.  Coping with loss and disappointment is a good life skill.  A person's character is revealed in their ability to cope with such things.  Some of course (many?) use their lack of ability to cope with defeat as a spur to get better.

So I played a blitz with 1MASTERBLACKNIGHT. He was down and out and survived because of a stalemate. But I don't get how he accuses people of cheating and starts to abuse when he begins to lose. Wake up man, nobody likes a cry baby. What a complete moron.

Is this the most embarassing lose every!?

I wouldn't do that otherwise, but this guy is just so full of trash words, that he deserves it:

I find it ironic that bullet kids play senseless premoves instead of real chess, and yet they still attach their fragile image of themselves as skillful chess players to the result of the game.

When you play as black did in OP, you should simply quit chess. Bullet chess is an affront to human intelligence.

Inyustisia

those who lose material like that in the opening are just doing it wrong. there's just really no need to be premoving that early already... just hover the piece over the square and release if the opponent plays a plausible move.

or just play an opening that's not vulnerable to these tricks (no early e6/g6/Bg7). that works too.

I dont play bullet (1 min) because i cant see bragging about being 3-4 pieces down, and winning by .01 seconds.
