Sounds like he is giving you guys lessons and all he wants is $10. Nice guy.

-The guy who slurps his coffee (or hot tea) and says "Ahhhh" after each sip.

-the guy who is upset about not being able to use his Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, or Avitar chess set b/c it is agianst the rules, yet he keeps on insisting how cool it would be if we could use sets like that.

don't be that guy at at a tournament that always find excuses to play a game later. mixes up the tournament if the next round depends on the game to be play.
e.g. a person joined a tournament but his favourite sport team was playing on the same day as the tournament so he called he couldn't make it so he arranged to play a game later with the person he had to meet. The TD did always have to postpone scheduling next round.
the only round that cannot be postponed is the last round. so he played the game before the last day.

Don't be that guy that clearly states before the game that I stood no chance of winning and the best I could get was a draw, since he could not lose a 90 +30sec as white apparently.

Then give away bishop pair for no reason, drop a pawn to a tiny tactic and enter ragemode, attacking my king. Saccing a rook (with absolutely NO compensation) in anger and lose horribly at the 26th move.


He was rated 1473 and I was unrated at the time only given a starting rating of 1350.

He also smelled bad.

I got two sentences out of him.  Through telepathy however I did enjoy our conversation...  And then the following week the rest of us patzers got to review the games.  It was 10$ per person winner keeps half, other half goes to the club.  50 bucks for 4 1/2 hours, ok I can see it.

Don't be that guy that claims that Anand's win was nothing special. Just some prep.

@BigLew - sadly we had players saying that just yesterday on forums here.

Don't be that guy who starts to giggle if you drop a piece(I was on the receiving end of that once Frown).

Don't be that kid who throws a temper tantrum if he/she loses or gets screwed over by the touch move rule.

Don't be that guy who doesn't hold the door for the person who beat him/her when they are leaving the playing hall.

AdamRinkleff

There is this guy at tournaments here who wears a shirt that says, "If you are so good... then why are you playing me?" Lol.

AdamRinkleff

I played a guy at a tournament who thought for over an hour and a half within the first ten moves, then he lost. You don't want to be that guy.

Oh what did he say ...... was watching an Ederly Lady cross the street.

Take your Grandma id and disguise yourself as her to enter a tournament only for Senior Citizens. Then win it and say Mamma needs a new pair of shoes.

So far the guy who hid in the plant and jumped on the player who beat him is the leading guy "not to be" . . .

I don't even remember if that was in this thread, but it sure was funny!
