What type of player are you?

At your local club or CCA class tournament, you may see some interesting players. I mean those players that seemed to never have learned what sportsmanship is. I've put them all in a few categories. 

#1: The Rager

Probably the most common type of bad sport.

  • Gets really, really, really, mad when they lose a game
  • Often yell "sh!t! or "f#ck!" after blundering a piece
  • Refuse to say "Good Game" or do a post mortem
  • Makes a lot of excuses for losing
  • Don't mark the result
  • Hit or Break something after the game

#2: The Snitch

That guy who gets the arbiter for literally everything you do, including

  • Stopping notation at 5:01 seconds
  • Stretching (Happened to me once!)
  • Adjusting pieces
  • Coughing
  • Drinking too much water

And reports other boards, even when it's not his business.

#3. The Slammer

As indicated by the name 

  • Slams clock excessively
  • Slams pieces excessively
  • Shakes your hand way. too. hard.   .__.
  • Likes to sacrifice a lot of stuff
  • Usually much better at blitz
  • Gets annoyed when you play your moves softly

#4. The Sandbagger

Tanks his rating on purpose to win prizes (And usually still a poor player). How lousy! 

  • That 800 guy who gets 7-0
  • Plays a 7-move combo when you don't expect it
  • Always gets first 
  • Looks too confident
  • Gets banned after the TD's notice
  • Pretends he's bad in the analysis

#5. The Cheater

  • Always seems to play a sketchy queen move
  • Adjusts too much for your liking and always after he's touched the piece
  • Marks the result backward *by accident*
  • Goes to the bathroom every 5 minutes
  • Won all his games until now
  • Got 2200 in 6 months
  • Something's missing when you come back to your board

If you want to you can list more! Also, say which ones you are (Be honest)

Is there an "Other" section. If so, I would like to add my own category (which I, of course, fall under)

#6. The PATZER

  • Somehow never seem to have my queen after move 3
  • Chess960 came into existence after Bobby Fischer saw me setting up the pieces
  • Misses really obvious tactics
  • Plays horrible openings (mainly online)

I'm type 6: The Swindler. I get into dead lost/drawn positions all of the time, and I somehow win.

I hate the slammers the most

Yeah. I once drew this guy, and he tried to mark the result in his favor, but he forgot he was playing White, and marked it as a win for me tongue.png

I wanted to unscrew some kids head once....

I have a Chronos touch sensor clock, and every time he would move, he would slam the piece down on the clock, and stare at me.  I finally had to pause the clock, and tell him that its a touch sensor.  No matter how hard you hit it with a piece it wont work.  And to have some respect for other peoples property, and finally that youre 8, you're not intimidating.

Same happened to me, but I won and he tried to record it as a win for him. Had to call the arbiter and everything :/ My CFC would have dropped probably 50 points if the arbiter took the result he put down.

I hate those guys
Better beat em to the results sheet!
