Chess Bully

So I was playing a 3/2 bullet game.  Of course, as soon as I start playing my son texts me.  I got distracted and made a bad move.

But then the opponent starts chatting, talking about how he cant believe I made such a dumb move and that learning the "Queens Gambit" is the most fundamental thing in Chess.  

So I replied - and told him he was being a Chess bully.

He genuinely seemed to think that he was not being a bully and was "helping me learn" by telling me how stupid I was to miss his attack.

Over the years, I have not encountered such Chess bullying very often - but maybe it is more common than I thought?

I tried to explain that it was similar to being bullied in school but I dont think they cared.

TLDR; Dont be a Chess Bully

Have encountered a couple. I just try to ignore them, but the Internet sadly makes this a thing.

I just disable in-game chats. It is a lot less stressful and distracting. I think people do it on purpose to get a psychological advantage.

Disable the chat. Those are losers, and they feel better when they first get a win. Just next and keep playing

I disabled in-game chat too, on day one as a member here. A guy kept saying things like... "Are you brain-dead - RESIGN NOW!" ... when I was 3 pawns up!

I enjoyed winning the game, but I figure there is no point in poisoning my eyeballs with negative tripe like that on a daily basis. 😵‍💫

If every player created a thread like this after meeting a "special" player who writes trash in chat, chess.com would probably have removed forums at all
