5 types of chess players
1. The Toxic - So, after a tiring day of work or school, you come home, take your device out, and hop on chess.com. You click "play" and you are now facing a random guy from anywhere in the world. You struggled in the game but still managed to beat him. When you're going to hop on the next game, the loser types "YOUR SO BAD BRUH EZ" or "NAH REMATCH I WASNT READY" or other stuffs. This type of thing happens when the opponent is having bad day or just being obnoxious.
The Solution - Simply click "rematch", if the opponent loses again and types something else, just ignore that and say "ggwp". That means "Good Game Well Played". If they still spam and say bad stuffs, well, it's not OUR fault that they get muted or banned.
2. The Chill - You wake up in the morning, brush your teeth, drink something like water or coffee, refreshing your body, you sit on the chair and hop on chess.com. The first thing you notice after clicking "play" is that the opponent types in chat "Good Luck". You might not see this often, but this is a sign you're fighting a very chill person. They are not so common and uncommon at the same so that the chances of you seeing them is constantly "refreshing". The good thing about these players is that they're very kind. You lost, they say something like "Great game, you're such a good player!".
The Solution - It's not actually "solution" it's just how to answer back, say "Thanks" or "Glad to hear that" other stuffs. If you're a meme guy (like me) say "yessir, rematch bud?" or "wsg dude, rematch?"
3. The Normal - You finished your match and hopped on the next, hoping you would win this time and regain the lost rating. This time, you're black, and your opponent did not say anything or hesitate to play a move such as e4 or d4. Congratulations, you've encountered a normal player, these players are by far the most common players you can meet, they don't say anything. They are just there to play.
(no solutions)
4. The Laggy - After doing your chores, you play chess. Joined an arena, and boom, you played e4, but in the next 5 seconds, your opponent did not answer. You've encountered a laggy person, but to confirm, look at their name and see is the connection bar on 1 or on 4. If they're on 1 or less, your opponent have moved to Mars and checked out alien wifi, if it's 1 above, they aren't laggy, they're just going out somewhere meanwhile the match started.
The Solution - Just wait, in an arena, if a person is turning on AFK mode for too long, they will auto resign. Technically, it's a good thing to have them inside an arena with you. But in a normal game, just abort. (don't abort too much though, it may result in account closure)
5. The "NR" - These guys are legendary, you will not see them often or never see them in high level chess, these guys never resign, many of you guys see that annoying, but actually even if you're about to get checkmated in 1 move, your opponent might slip their hands and you are saved by a stalemate. And now, most of these guys aren't really that pro, so they just plan on playing to the death.
The Solution - I'm actually on those guy's teams but just to be fair, when your opponent does not resign (especially in long-time chess games), simply wait. The key here is to be patient, soon, they'll just run out of time or accept checkmate.
