Yo Homes!
I play for fun and always as a gentleman. Good luck in your games.
Nov 23, 2010: I must get this off my chest. Several times a year I endure a verbal attacks. This has been consistent throughout my 15+ years of playing online. Also consistent are the following:
1. Only game losers make insulting remarks. I've NEVER experienced a game winner offering insults.
2. 100% of the time they lost several games to me.
3. 95% of the time they lost on time in a speed game (3 minutes or less).
4. The insults always discredit my chess abilities with something generally resembling "you really stink at chess." (expletives omitted)
To this I have a couple of questions:
1. Why would you play speed chess and complain about losing on time?
2. If I "really stink at chess" and beat them repeatedly, how bad to they "stink"? I suggest a less reflective insult, "you are a chess stud muffin, but your momma's feet stink!"
...sorry to be trivial but I'm sure you've experienced this too. I play tournaments and standard chess seriously. I play live chess with a glass of wine to relax. We call it "pushin' wood."
Let's all remember this is a game and let's all be gentlemen.
