Chess Chat

Does anyone think the chess chat during games is important?

I have it turned off. It isn't necessary to the game and is sometimes distracting and annoying. People may be salty or toxic after losing or winning a game. I suggest to keep it off unless you want to communicate with a friend

Nope, not neccesary. It always distracts the player when someone messages someone

true

Agreed.

Hola

Does anyone else get these chess moves randomly in his head or sometimes see the other people around as pieces damnnnm its getting annoying noww how to get rid of this

no.

yes

you can't

It doesn't happen to me too much not (although still occasionally with some inanimate objects looking like pieces or checkered patterns looking like a chess board). Look up "Tetris effect" This isn't too uncommon, especially when starting out and putting a lot of time into something (such as chess).

Almost never is the chat used in rated games, but there is a slightly higher chance with longer time controls. I leave my chat on, but almost no one uses it and quite frankly: I don't really expect them to. We are here to focus on the chess game and talking is just a distraction. 

Playing chess and chatting with chess.com friends accounts for about 90% of the cases where I do chat during games, but typically even game advice I save for giving my views on in the post-game analysis time. 

In short, "no" I don't think "chess chat" is too important at all - it is a nice feature to have when you need it, but it is seldom used.

Why would u need it ?

its not inportant but you should have it

No one even chess chats anymore

No. It is unimportant.

true

Lol I had my Spanish keyboard. It made “is” “es.”

Chat disabled = instant block from me.  I assume it's either a kid or a spineless jellyfish.  Either way, blocked.

Not that I want to chat, but it's nice to give/receive a "gg" or small comment about the game. To each their own.

for me I like it sometimes when I play live chess with my school friends
