online chess isn't worth your time.

Online chess is full of try hard, try harder or professional chess try even harders, or engine users. You will never reach a level of decent play, because you will tilt, due to all the misleads here. I loved chess then I came here and get wrecked by try hard players who act like chess is literal life and death if they lose, so you even just get any complacence, even one move and you go from winning to losing instantly. This isn't fun and I shouldn't need to play at tournament level to win against a supposed beginnings level elo chess player. I went ahead and simply just threw random moves at about the last 20 I played, because im done the game just sucks now. Why try it isn't fun, you feel like crap when you lose, you feel like crap when you win, cause you know your just gonna get hit with a wall of perfect players losing the next ten games.... Its point less and has all the features of gambling, I don't gamble, because you can't win and online chess has become much the same. If love online chess I don't fault you, no insult. I just can't anymore its just to toxic for me. Vent over. God bless and thanks to the positive players I met here, its just theres to much negative here I now hate the game and completely ruined to chess a game I absolutely loved..

Same here bro. I'm actually really good irl but when i play here it's just straight up nonsense and try hards. I win tournaments and I'm basically a professional but online is not even real chess imo.

On line chess is just to pass the time

ok

Just don't look at online forums lichess is actually pretty good for that as not enough people use forums tryhards are good actually but it's he ones hat get angry that are annoying plus there is a reason I ignor chat in-game

Maybe it's the time controls...

Rate me pls❤️❤️

The first part of your rant I don't understand. Faulting people for trying is a bizarre concept. Personally I play seasonal sports as well as chess. In both the physical sports, as well as mental sports, I hate it when my opponents stop trying. Either they don't see me as a worthy opponent, and I am being treated like a child, or they have just given up and the remainder of the game is a tedious waste of time. Both scenarios spoil the contest. To all my opponents: try hard!

All I get are emojis :/ lucky idk where all the trolls went after 2000 elo

Secondly, yes, chess is cruel. One mistake can cost you any game, no matter how many previously perfect moves. But that's the challenge. That's with you, not your opponents. Learning to play well, and do so for an entire game is the sportsman's quest! Winning a game after playing good from beginning to end is a great feeling. You are inspired to go back and battle again. And if you lose, so be it. Doff your cap to your worthy opponent and move on.

Thirdly. To get better play longer time controls. Take time to play meaningful moves. Have time for the blunder check with each move. Play the game from your opponent's side too. 10/0 is technically rapid, but it's basically blitz. 15 + increment or 30/0 are much better for improvement. Hopefully that's helpful. Hopefully you will find some joy in the game again.

“Try hard”? It’s called skill

Wouldn’t you want to win? They are just trying their best

I always say, If you think these people are tryhards, would a GM have lost? See? It’s just skill issue

You know what else isn’t worth our time? Someone who’s arguing about playing online chess when they’ve played online chess before.

You prefer opinions from people without experience? Average chess player right here.

You mean “systems where competition exists and is widely prevalent isn’t worth your time”, OP.

I feel like online chess is much much more fun and easy, cause when you play in real life, when you tilt in your chair slightly, all the pieces fling and its just annoying, also i haven't run into any stockfish users, but thats probably cause my elo isnt good but yes.

Oh man come on
