Idk, never thought about it till I saw this post. Wasn't sure why you feel it is cringe, but maybe it is because you think they think they are brilliant? If so, I think I kind of can understand why you feel that, but I don't feel the same way. I guess I figure it may just be a sign that they enjoy brilliant moves and want to make more of them, idk. Or that they like exclamation points and the bright blue aesthetic.

Sea_TurtIe

it makes me feel as if they are arrogant

Sea_TurtIe

like it just radiates ¨im the next Mikhail tal! watch out!¨ yet they are 700 rated

Sea_TurtIe

or they got their first brilliant move at 1200 [EDIT - 4K]

I really don't care. I wouldn't jump to any deep conclusions about a member's psychological makeup going by a flair alone.

Some people just like attention.

I don't know if I should disclose the username (not that there's anything shameful in mentioning but just in case), but I know a user who's username is something along the lines of "super good chess" (the username sounds a lot better than that, lol). He's like, 2100+, so yeah, in my opinion at least, lives up to the name.
One time I was curious so I asked him if he had changed his username after he had improved in chess a lot. Because I thought it would be funny if some beginner had that name. He responded saying, he thought it was funny when he was a beginner lol. Some people would apparently get upset about it, but I tend to agree with him that it was entertaining and not annoying.
So yeah, idk, I maybe feel similarly about the brilliant flair? But I don't think too much about it because it also looks nice imo.

Ukrainian flair, best flair.

Idk, I hardly think that the blue exclamation mark flair is that eye-catching.

Sea_TurtIe

the type of dude im talking about (and the type i see alot) is the person that plays the knight attack as white and the scandi as black

based off that you should know what type of person they are

I'm confused, how is there a correlation between a brilliant flair and the type of openings that they play? Have you really noticed such a correlation?

Sea_TurtIe

yeah, they are usually hyperactive 10 year olds who play the most agressive sht out there and got their first brilliant move and think they are the next Garry Kasparov

Sea_TurtIe

they look like this usually

but just younger

Lol wow. I mean yeah there are certainly kids on here who are overly excited.
I don't blame them, though. Chess is exciting imo grin.png
