Day Two Lesson Two
If it's a face to face game, be sure to give your opponent a hardly HELLOOO with a nice gust of wind behind it. Of course, you just ate onions, and be sure to have a few fries hanging out of your mouth at the same time.
With an on line game, instead you have to say hello and mention that you're offering a finger to pull.
Lesson Three:
Say.... "So you finally decided to make that move. It might be too late now."
Bonus Extra: Immediately after eating some fries, backwash whatever you're drinking into a clear drinking container. This is technically not trash talking, but it is a strong support activity.

It was inevitable, and any trash talking list is never complete unless it has the ever popular double negative with a slightly sick twist to it ......
" Have you stopped chewing on your king piece yet?"
Five - "I've been studying your chess style in some of your games. It looks like you have a few weaknesses."
6 - "So what was your best chess game here on chess.com recently? I want to review it and see where I can find flaws in it."
How about: Is that your rating or your shoe size?
How about: "Do you remember how at the start of the game we were both playing by the opening book? And how that felt really balanced and even? And how you left book early? Yeah, me too. I like it when everyone has a chance."
Excellent popparino.... You're getting it... lol
Here's a close relative to yours.
9 Now that we're out of book, I know what I'm going to do. Do you?
9 Now that we're out of book, I know what I'm going to do. Do you?
Such mastery! So concise, and yet straight to the bone. The Samurai Sword to my simple bludgeon. I salute you!
10 - The rumor going around is that you have a gas problem (as in pull my finger), is the rumor true?
12. Tell your opponent he's had the ketchup long enough and to give it back. When the opponent denies ever having the ketchup, then accuse him of cheating in the last game.
13. Simply say.... "Aren't you the person that wasn't supposed to get the beginning player award?"
Technically this article isn't about trash talking, but it's close enough and funny enought to be put in this thread:

It talks about being kicked in the shins under the table by an opponent, a female offering sex for a win, and an invisible opponent for the beginning and end of the match.

Day One Lesson One
When the opponent says ..... Hello I hope you enjoy the game .... then a good response from you would be to say something like..."What do you mean by that?" or "So you decided to stop being mean to everyone?"
Both responses immediately put the opponent on the defensive and second guessing everything, including their chess moves. They are much like a discovered check.
A potential third benefit is that they may be uncomfortable playing against you from that moment forward.
The estimated increase in your rating with using this technique is approximately 50 points?
