6) Post all of your chess wins on these forums with your opponent's name clearly identified for everyone to publicly ridicule his blunders.
I forgot:
0) Disable chat. But beware: this might prevent you from applying some of the following rules
Why would this be a joke? There are a lot of rude players out there that need to be instructed. There's nothing more annoying than someone saying 'gg' after a good game and I want to stop this
8) Calling him/her names during the game, few well pointed remarks about his/her mother/father/dog could disturb opponent a bit and help you win. If these remarks are really stingy it might even lead your rival to disconnection or resigning - especially useful in rated live chess games.
I really liked the 1100 rated fellow who took my Queen and wrote how he loved "taking down higher rated players" and asked me to resign so he could beat me again. He suddenly went silent and disappeared when he got mated two moves later. I never got my rematch.

this eyetalian guy sure is a hoot. shame we can't get him to post more.
1) Never say 'hi' to your opponent. If he does it first, don't reply: you are too good a player to do that. Yes I know that after 60 moves in an online game you start to think about replying... DO NOT!!!
2) If your opponent makes a mistake don't miss the chance to make fun of him. 'good effort' and 'lol' work just fine, but feel free to make up more offensive lines
3) If you make a mistake and find yourself in a losing position you can:
a) offer a draw
b) disconnect
c) let the time run out
4) If your opponents checkmates you because you didn't see it in time to follow rule 3, immediately demand a rematch: you must take back what that cheater stole. Never, repeat NEVER, congratulate saying 'gg'. If you feel the need to say something you could use something like: 'it was just luck' or 'u r a cheater'.
Iterate this step until you manage to win, then disappear without saying a word: you simply took back what he stole from you. Again: if you need to say something just insult him
5) If your opponent is tryng to cast the shame of a draw upon you: insult him. If doesn't change his mind you should lose with honour or follow the points 3.b or 3.c
