I tell all my opponents that I am reporting them and to enjoy ban etc etc as soon as time pressure starts with only few minutes left.

I have noticed many players stop playing for a while, some must be trying to reply but I block them when I start my PsyOps.

It definitely throws a few off of their game and causes misteps

It is similar to a female flashing an opponent in beer pong or pool.

Since chess is a game of war, is this allowed?

Not unless you want to be part of the bad sport pool.

See post #1.

By your own admission, you threatened your opponents.

@notmwtain "Do not harass or accuse your opponents" is probably more on point.

The only head you mess with is your own.

Sounds like you’re here to win, not to improve your game of chess. If you need the crutch of trying to distract your opponent, then you’re not confident in your Chess abilities.

I’d love to play you live face-to-face and see you can distract the other more. I would start off with, “Mikey likes it.“😂 Your move
