"I remember hearing a story years ago (I heard on YouTube but don't remember the video or channel) when GM Mikhail Tal was playing a chess tournament before Christmas. Tal is known for his Queen sacrifices and also his sense of humor. In this game, he had a little ribbon in his pocket. During the game, he took out the little ribbon string and tied it into a bow on his Queen. Then he proceeded to joke by saying something like "Merry Christmas" and then played a Queen sacrifice with the bow on his Queen."

sure! I mean it really isn't, but some people might think that, because he's giving away his queen but as a present, like "this is what you get for Christmas" and then checkmate
I wouldn't say this is offensive, but also wouldn't like it if my opponent did that, would you?

I can use ai too!
Chess is a two-player strategy board game played on a checkered gameboard with 64 squares arranged in an 8×8 grid. The game is played by millions of people worldwide and is believed to have originated in India, during the Gupta Empire (around the 6th century AD). Each player begins with 16 pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns. The objective of the game is to checkmate the opponent’s king, which means the king is in a position to be captured (in “check”) and there is no way to move the king out of capture (mate). Strategic planning and tactical skill are paramount in chess, as players must anticipate their opponent’s moves and counter them. The game has various levels of complexity, which makes it appealing to both beginners and experienced players. Chess is more than just a game; it’s a war over the board, aiming to corner the enemy king. It’s a test of patience, nerves, and mental agility. Over the centuries, it has evolved from just a game into a sport, a science, and a form of art. Chess truly is a timeless classic, beloved by many generations.
