It`s time to stop degrading players by wishing them ''good luck'' at the start of a game with both humans and computer.To wish a player ''good luck'' is say without it they will not do any good in their game without it.It is said chess is very much a war game...do you hear oposing armies wishing each other ''good luck'' at the start of a war?

So lets start the ball rolling with this!

Saying "good luck" to your opponent is a bald-faced lie ... you want them to have bad luck and lose to you. That is why instead I say "I hope you do as well as you are capable of doing while still losing, although if you did worse and lost faster to me, I won't complain... in fact I would prefer it. But I also understand that, of course, you likely don't feel the same way, but in fact the opposite. However, from a tournament and rating perspective, I want more quality wins, so I hope you kill everyone else you play, so that in that sense, good luck."

Heh, as you shake their hand: "I hope you destroy all your other opponents, but for me, feel free to blunder like crazy"

If your opponent has a fever and makes mistakes because of it, then you have kinda been lucky. But I don't want to win because of the opponents bad luck, I want to win because I've played the better chess.
