Chess is fun IF you don't expect to win. Expect to put up a good fight and make them earn it. If they don't, then be happily surprised that you won.
Play like everyone is going to beat you. Develop your pieces, look for forks, pins, forced moves, etc. Don't relax and think you have them beat..... until you do.
700 is good for not learning in childhood.
BTW I have chat on and I have never had someone talk to me during a game, not even the daily games.
