"Get gud" isn't a term you should throw around at 1200 elo.
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.
You should get better at making jokes.
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.
Clearly someone's having a pretty bad day if they reacted like this to a "useless" joke meant to liven up the atmosphere even insisting it's useless and dragging it all this way even when i had already explained it was supposed to playfully stop OP(the person who wrote this forum) to stop getting too stressed at losing and should instead have fun learning but oh well, if you're that oblivious and against my type of jokes then i apologize for making "bad jokes" that got you reacting like this but sure if you must insist it's "useless" then i can't do anything about that so i guess i'll apologize for tilting you over such a small joke and hopefully you have a good day to lighten up your mood.
If it weren't for the scholar's mate I might still be stuck at 200.
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.
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 this is it. Once you get this mindset then improvement happens. Nothing you can do about cheaters but all other games. You could have played differently. And that knowledge in itself makes me want to be better.
