Your bait is pathetic. You sound like a defeatist.
Well no offense but there is a whole freaking forum saying that chess is racist because white move first and forums of being sexually harassed by players online so this guy saying kind of correct
Worship the hi rated and trample humiliate the commoner player, there is no justice, the dark ugly side of so called humanity in vulgar blatant display in this unreal world of self proclaimed geniuses
you dont have to play against high rated players. no one is forcing you. Why not just play casually against people rated your level or with friends. Thats just defeatism
Chess community at large, from what I've seen, has always been pretty #$#&$# elitist and extremely dismissive towards casuals and amateurs, and similarly seem to worship the ground Ms/GMs walk on.
Welcome back, @CooloutAC
... so this guy saying kind of correct
Shouldn't your conclusion be "... so people are jerks on the Internet"?
What does the behavior you cite have to do with chess? It happens in EVERY sort of online venue.
I think he claims chess is a garbage game because those who take it seriously belittle most people by making claims like only those who can beat 999 999 out of a million people are good at chess.
When people say "This is a garbage game", what they usually mean is "I am garbage at this game".
Yup
Players tend to lash out like this when they're feeling frustrated.
It attracts condemnation and disapproval, but it's usually a cry for help ...
Profanities alert!
Indeed. I received one of those *&$##@#&*$## warnings for attempting to quote the OP.
Chess community at large, from what I've seen, has always been pretty ******* elitist and extremely dismissive towards casuals and amateurs, and similarly seem to worship the ground Ms/GMs walk on.
