GMRainy That is unhelpful. Not everyone has an idea of what that looks like.

It took me 1 1/2 Years to be the enough mind mature to understand that I didn't need to explode when I lose, and now I have a better reputation here 😌

Why study.

The more you study

The more you know

The more you know

The more you forget

The more you forget

The less you know

So why study?

The more you play

The more you realize

The game is rigged

You cannot win

If he's been playing for over a year and still hasn't improved then yeah clearly he dosen't know sherlock, and ever heard of a bit of humor? If he wants to improve instead of ranting about not improving then sugarcoating he's shortcomings isn't gonna help him.

"Get gud" isn't a term you should throw around at 1200 elo.

If your reaction to a loss is to get sad rather than try to get better then maybe chess isn't for you bro.

This is true. When I first started playing it took me a while start winning.

If it weren't for the scholar's mate I might still be stuck at 200.

It was supposed to be a playful joke to lighten up the mood since OP who wrote this forum is clearly getting too distressed at losing at chess instead of having fun and learning since chess isn't always only about winning and learning is the best approach to it instead of a more nihilistic view of losing.

Yeah scholar's mate was my first tactic too. It took me a while to get into the right midset. I even took a break for almost a year. But once I came back I adopted the mindset that all losses were my fault for not being better. This gave me the drive to study chess more. And the improvement has been steady ever since.

You should get better at making jokes.

I'm a really big fan about how in chess every single time you lose (except for cheaters) is entirely your fault with nobody else to blame. It really encourages studying and improvement when there are no outside factors or teammates.

Yeah sure and maybe you should be a bit more lively at transparent jokes that's clearly meant to liven up the atmosphere a bit but you do you i guess.

I don't think anyone found your poorly-written joke funny or bright. "Get-gud" is pretty useless.
