The most annoying types of player

-Stallers

-The guy who keeps losing , keeps sending rematches, and when they finally win they stop sending rematches

-The draw spammer

-The guy who is annoying in the chat

Agreed on that point !

-The guy that likes to copy stuff that was already said in the forum

-The person that kicks your butt then won't give you a rematch

-The person who INSISTS on trading queens.

Coming back to this topic, I find it quite annoying when you have definitely lost the game, and your opponent says "gg" in the chat before the game is over.

In some, perhaps most, cases this may not be malicious, but it just comes off as being so. It sounds like gloating. Online textual messaging does not convey tone nor intent, and saying "gg" after a winning move but before the game is actually over just gives that vibe of smug gloating, even if it isn't intentional.

I have also noticed in recent months an unusually high amount of people with ratings well below 1000 (even as low as in the 600's) playing blitz games at strengths over 500 or so points above their actual rating. I'm in the 1300's in blitz, and they proceed to make no serious mistakes, to punish my mistakes, play extremely solidly, make really good moves that I didn't see coming, and just crush me, just like someone rated 1500 or so in blitz would do. I'm not extraordinarily strong, but come on. I don't think a 600-rated player ought to be beating me that easily and decisively.

What's with these people? Is there suddenly a surge of sandbaggers or something?

they probably just had a good game or two.

Ha well I've played a couple of U1000s that were definitely NOT U1000 (one of them was 600 on chess.com and 1800 on lichess... I wasn't paying enough attention but ultimately they blundered and we laughed about it afterwards) There's a surge of new players, of course there are some that are underrated.

This is me sometimes because I only have time for one game or am doing a one game per person policy to avoid tilt and to try to climb up the rating ladder.

You guys are certainly great at collecting grievances! You must be mad all the time

I played someone once who offered me a lot of draws after I was up 4 or something like that in material, also my opponent was 200-300 lower than me. So after every move I move my cursor over to the right and click "Decline Draw"

Someone did that to me, but it was blitz and I was moving too fast to notice... just move and ignore, turn off sounds if necessary, that's what I do

Also one time I was in a tournament on lichess and got paired with a 1200-1300 rated player and he immediately resigned in the starting position. Crazy things happen on Lichess I guess.

Someone forfeited in both a chess.com and lichess tournament multiple times because they didn't want to play

How did you know

@OP

You forgot the guy who utterly and unambiguously loses a game, lets the clock run out until the very last second, leading you to believe he left the game and will do the same, only to come back and make a move last second, so that you are the one who ultimately loses on time.

people who do pointless checks all the time and people who only move their pawns in the beginning so you cant move anywhere

The perpetual checks can be annoying, but good players are always on the lookout for defending against them, so the checks aren't a problem; King safely is very important!

As for moving so many pawns in the opening, this is informally called a "pawn pusher" and yes this can be one of the most irksome things when starting out because it isn't always so obvious how to exploit this. When you gain rating (and chess ability/understanding), then you will actually welcome pawn pushing and hope your opponent does do this! It makes your job of winning easier

When your opponent pushes many pawns, it does a few things:

1st of all, it wastes moves that could have been spent developing pieces, so the pawn-pushing side typically falls behind in piece development and this is a huge problem for them if you simply implement chess "opening principles" you should be using anyway:

2nd thing pawn pushing does is create weaknesses, but these are not always so obvious to exploit unless you are a 1600+ rated chess player (estimate based on chess.com rating) and pawn pushers are usually only present below this level of play. 

Every position is different, but the main idea behind these positional weaknesses is that pawns can NEVER move backwards in chess. However, your pieces can (Bishops, Knights, Rooks, Queen and King). Once a pawn passed a square, it can never influence it again and this potentially makes everything pawns pass less defensible. 

If you can infiltrate pieces behind their wall of pawns (especially if you can protect those pieces with a pawn of yours [outpost]), then it is almost impossible for the opponent to remove your forces.

There's this relatively common instinct among absolute beginners (those who have played like a dozen of games at most during their entire lives) that if they see an opportunity to check, they will check, no matter how bad the move may be. In the beginner's mind checking the opponent's king somehow moves towards victory.

However, there's a much, much more persistent instinct and temptation among many beginners that lasts for significantly longer: If they see en-passant, they will capture en-passant, even if it's a clearly bad move.

I often joke about it like this:

Player A: "I move my pawn two spaces."
Player B: "Hah! I capture en-passant!"
Player A: "Ok, I move my queen, checkmate."
Player B: "It was worth it!"

the players who go afk after blundering something in a rapid game and make you wait 8 minutes until he times out

Recently, there is a person who agree to play daily chess with time frame of 3 days per move, then abandon the game until the time is over, well hope he is allright
