Your friend is rated 100-200 on here as you say. You are rated around 400, so while her rating is worse than yours, yours isn't really a whole lot better. Still, you come across as considering yourself clearly superior.

Maybe it's not her attitude that is the problem here.

I am better than her. If you want to deny reality then do so but you will come across as foolish. I dont leave several pieces hanging in a match. I dont happily accept losing a bishop or knight for a pawn. By all means tell me what is good about her attitude but you dont show any common sense if you think that I am not a better player than her. You could say that there's lots of players better then me and nobody would disagree. She's played well over 1,000 games on chess.com and she can spot some forks but it's obvious she doesnt consider what her opponent can do at the next move. That is very basic for any chess player.

I'm not trying to be argumentative but that entire post is a big red flag. I'm guessing you're romantically attached to this person which isn't reciprocated and for good reason. Leave her alone you freak. You sound like a stalker.

You are obviously inadequate with women given your obsessions with "misogynistic", "infatuation", "you freak" and "stalker". I noticed you couldnt justify your "misogynistic" comment when I asked. You simply blurt out more irrelevant insults. You view online forums as a way of making up for your inadequacy by being a keyboard warrior without actually having to mix with normal people.

You must be one of those people who has a simplistic view of life eg.:

Critical of a woman - mysogynist

Critical of black person - racist

Critical of an overweight person - fatphobic

You make no attempt to understand any reasonable explanations. You just throw out wild insults.

I didn't deny that you're better, but you're not a whole lot better. Certainly not by that much that it warrants any of the superiority attitude that you're showing here. If you're showing the same attitude when talking to her, it's no surprise to me that she doesn't want your advice. Just leave her be. Why does it even bother you if she's playing poorly?

What is this "superiority attitude" that I am showing? I know I am not one of the better players on the site but that doesnt stop me seeing several glaring errors in her play in every match she plays. She's obviously not thinking about what her opponent is trying to do. I will stress that is one of the basic requirements of playing chess.

You ask: "Why does it even bother you if she's playing poorly?" She tells me regularly if she wins a game and she's obviously proud that she wins. She even told me about chess.com saying "wow" and told me that they were impressed by her play. I looked at the game and they were impressed by one of her opponent's moves! She tells me her grade and says she will increase it by 50% in the next week. Unfortunately, her grade went down by 20%! If she thought about her opponent's intentions - and even the moves they make - she would increase her grade. Which would appear to be what she wants. You may not give a damn about anybody else but that doesnt mean everybody should be like that.

are you still a beginner after playing over one thousand games?

I dont think I've played 1,000 games because I played long games for about 4/5 years about 35 years ago. I did learn how to play chess at school though.
