Oh my god.

A polite reply is not a compliment.

Instead say 'good game' back!

Also noticed this was posted 3 years ago!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just can't get over this!!!!!!

Good game is not a compliment!!!!!!
Chess.com should put it on a t-shirt.

I'm so new to chess I haven't even noticed a pattern in my 'good game' messaging.

"Good game" is not a compliment? Next you'll be trying to tell me that mayonnaise is not an instrument.

Only a millenial would feel offended when someone says good game.

Chess.com is breeding nightmares with their social options. They should simply do away with it all together.

They continue to dumb down the forums.  Pretty soon there will be absolutely no interaction except for button pushing like/dislike/etc.

I'd "like" your post, but I couldn't find the button... :-(

What are you thinking if you believe "gg" is bad well you know how you played. this is online the only bad is between your ears.

If you get hurt from people saying "thanks" in response to any mention of having a good game, you need to retire from all competitive sports.  They aren't for you.  Professional and amateur's alike respond in this fashion to show respect.  When you take offense, you are assuming a meaning behind the thanks that is neither stated or implied.  You're just twisting people's words and meanings so you can be the victim.  That's just weak sauce.

Any time you talk, or express yourself somebody somewhere is going to interpret it as rude or impolite. It's 2021 after all, so getting upset over meer pixels on a screen after a game is certainly the trendy thing to do. People gonna get mad no matter what, so no point worrying about people getting salty, especially when just trying to enjoy a game and have a laugh.

Man, all the complicated etiquette in chess makes me want to just give up and go sit in a corner and pick my nose.
