What are people's opinions on chess newbs?

Avatar of A_G_A

You are asking about newbs, but "n00bs" is the title of this thread. Therefore, I will give you my brief opinion on both. Newbs are perfectly fine and usually become non-newbs after some time, but n00bs are unacceptable. The population growth rate of n00bs must be decreased. If the n00bs become predominent on this site, non-n00bs may have to flee and go elsewhere.

Here is a survival guide which I have found in the forums: http://www.chess.com/forum/view/general/guide-to-chess-noobs-n00bs

But where? There is nowhere for us to run. And how do we get rid of n00bs? Boxing them up and shipping them to Antartica is not a viable option, and threatening them is considered unlawful in some countries.

By "elsewhere," I mean other chess sites that have not been infiltrated by them. Of course, I will probably not quit chess.com, but that is an option. The survival guide contains reasonable and possibly effective methods of dealing with n00bs.

What survival guide? I need one desperately. Since I don't play Live Chess much, my rating still dwells in the 800 zone! With the n00bs! Heeeeeelp!

The link that I posted earlier leads to a survival guide, supposedly.

Oh, thank goodness.

Yes, there's a big difference between unskilled players (newbs) and *shudder* n00bs.

Avatar of camberfoil

I know, I've posted 3 other threads on the differences, I just typed two different words due to a lack of sleep-induced state of poor concentration. Need coffee...

Message kasporov_jr for a guide on how to become a good chess player or you will be a patzer 4ever.

At least they are entertaining sock-puppets. I've seen worse... today, in fact.

Before you make a false fact, do your research.

Cote has placed a system around to escape anytime from anywhere, so that statement is wrong!

We are not the same person, nor are we idiots. Last I checked, I am not a sock puppet, I don't believe A_G_A is one either.
