This thread is the best.

The worst is when the site is down & I have to play lil' chess partner.

CPawn

For me the best is the friends i make, and the old friends i see again at a tournament.

The worst...poor sportsmanship, and people that just flat out refuse to resign no matter how poor there position is.

I hate it when opponents of far lower rating use their chess coaches or parents (who tend to be better than them) to do the best move for them....

I'm going to track this forum for a while, because this could be interesting.

My best experience was when I was new to the site and playing a long, hard-fought game with a fellow who hung his Queen. I offered to let him take his move back, but we found out he couldn't. The gesture got me invited to The Circle of Trust, a great club. My worst experience was the first fellow who cussed me out for beating him.

Best experiences: worsening my game with Chess Mentor, The Royal Spam Society

Worst experiences: Live Chess lag/disconnections, which has put me off using it

Yeah, it's kinda like having to face that vortex thingie in the Star Trek with Joan Collins.  Your ride back home has just disappeared out of the sky (and now you're stuck having to go back in time looking for some ranting drugged-out nut who keeps laughing about sewing people up with needles and thread).


 That "vortex thingie" was pretty conceited about it's place in the universeLaughing

Yeah...and then it even kinda taunts them at the end! lol  That was one jerky wormhole.

It was called "The City on the Edge of Forever". I'm downloading it now to watch it again! Laughing  I wish I had a joint...
