I have never met anyone who got upset and berated an opponent who made bad moves and lost. In fact, I prefer when people do this kind of nonsense. A win's a win.
I do hear you, but... How long would you keep playing chess if every and each of your games was you picking up free pawns and pieces effortlesly move after move until boredom kills the fun of it?
To tell someone they are bad at chess after you have beaten them is very poor sportsmanship!!!
shows a total lack of character
And may I ask you what sort of sportmanship it is to play chess as if you needed assistance to walk in the streets by fear of an accident at every step? (when actually you don't)
And what sort of character does it show, when you play all of you moves in such a careless manner, that you obviously don't think at all how boring the game becomes to your opponent?
Because hey, it's one or the other: foul, hyperchildish play is your fault, or it's not your fault.
If it's not your fault, how is it you made it to do complicated things such as reporting your opponent, and creating a new thread in the forum?
And if it's you fault, since you're basically throwing zero effort in your chess game, how is it you're complaining to be told how incredibly bad your play is?
Take the opportunity to learn tolerance of abusive words. Practice, practice, practice tolerance. In real life, it could be very very painful if you didn't learn tolerance. That's my 2 cents.

Take a look at your post....
GM Finegold (before he made GM) was in Metro Detroit the beast. He had a USCF rating of 2600+ & at no time did I ever witness or hear of him remotely admonishing anyone's play in a public forum. He was 250+ elo points higher than everyone else... he outplayed everybody. I imagine he came across a lot of uninspiring chess.
I'm reminded of Martial Arts in which I got about 50yrs in (Karate and Judo) You train and spar with respect to your opponents. You don't try to break them, cause in the end... no one trains with you. When someone would disrespect or belittle a junior, I made it a point to go over and tune that individual up... and 90% of the time... I found a weak person bulling other... who when the tables where turned ... they protested twice as much as the person who they were bulling or belittling.
Sportsmanship! A part of it is comportment and tact.
Well, I suppose you're missing the point of this thread, which is a player telling an other player that their play is "incredibly bad", and then, for some reason, the OP along with many other posters are only interrested in the fact it would be mean regardless of any other factor, deserves a report and also deserves a whole thread in the forum, all of that cos some lazy 100+ can't stand to be told what their rating is already yelling at them: you are where lower doesn't exist (and why?).
Besides, since you're playing assuming how it would work in my head out of what I posted, maybe you should consider questioning your own motivations for posting that flame of yours. Wannabe vigilante? Something else? I don't know, and I do care little if at all. I only care to see people using their brain as they actually could if they were not so obsessed by dogmas that want to excuse a normally intelligent person to behave like an animal.
Anyhow, Before I posted anything in this thread, I looked up some game from the OP. And it's a festival of nonsense that can't be explained by anything else than not giving a darn fork about the game or the opponent. In short, they could (easily) play as they can, but they won't. That's fine, as it is their choice. Yet, as much it is their right, their liberty and their freedom to do so, it is all the same the right of their opponent to tell them what it is they are doing: ruining the game out of carelessness. And lack of empathy, since someone mentioned that.
wow this a real zen forum today so much mediation stuff-- but then i get mad when i lose and usually if the person ends in three -five moves i get real mad -- i have learned how to spell my frustration with myself many ways to get around bots but then i am a lonely white old guy with medical problems that tinkers at chess till the meds kick in -- so ---------------------don't be like me
Them: "You're really bad!"
Me: "Figure that out all on your own Mr. Hawking?"
If there is no situation, no circumstances, no legitimacy ever, where telling someone "your play is incredibly bad" would be okay, or acceptable, in what world are we then living?
What kind of insane censorship is it, not to be allowed to tell someone about their total lack of efforts regarding a game or a sport they engaged, not alone, but with an opponent, who came there to play an actual game and will face only a void of anything that makes it worth playing?
And how to reply to the question "How is my play?" when it is so bad that it can't be worse? Something along the line of "Erm.... I don't know how to put it... It's something.... Well, ANYTHING but bad". Yeah sure. Gemme more of that Disney stuff cos am such a retarded kiddo.
I don’t think the person will get banned. Chess.com has to deal with way more « violent » comments than a simple « you are bad at chess ». Hope it won’t happen to you again anyways.
I have never met anyone who got upset and berated an opponent who made bad moves and lost. In fact, I prefer when people do this kind of nonsense. A win's a win.

This also never happens. My opponent makes a mistake and next game I make a mistake. Sometimes it's like I forget how chess works and I go down the drain in a calamity. Then I play a clever middlegame and mate my opponent after sacrificing an exchange for apparently nothing. It all goes round and round and doesn't get boring.
Well, it was an hypothetical question.
play bullet. they will flag before they trash talk you
