bizarre ? you mean you think they should kneel and proclaim their unworthiness to have been owned by a chess god ?
Receiving abuse from weaker players.


From what I've learned so far about this stuff, the fact you're playing bullet sounds like the best way to invite other people's drama and chaos into your life anyway. You could always just turn off the chat like they say. But if you don't want to lock out the nice people then keep chat on and just learn how to ignore the bastards that are nothing more than an electronic egotist with no life?

I was playing bullet recently and for the first time in a while opened up my matchmaking settings to play some lower rated players. I was surprised by the amount of insults that I received after comfortably winning games. Players in the range of about 1700-2000 (I'm currently at 2150) consistently called me a moron/cheap/the worst 2000 player ever etc etc.
Has anyone else encountered this? It just seems bizarre to me to insult someone who has completely outplayed you and based on rating alone is a significantly stronger player.

Sorry to hear how you feel when it comes to bullet chess. I think bullet chess just makes people into low class socialpaths with no manners at all, I guess bullet is too fast and can get easy wins which means you won without hard work. People taking winning and losing way too seriously and also in general don't respect other people and don't know how to be calm and solve problems.
The picture above is a guy that I beat 5-0 in a row all on time in completely lost positions and he gets super salty. Made easy work of him and this is how he behaves. Ugh.......You can disable chat and/or notes and people can just friend request if they want to hang out with you.........Ughhhhhh......When I have the time to do so, I will try to contribute something more fun and positive after all this chaotic hassle is over. Apparently bullet chess is like a hitman battle, 3 strikes and yer out X(

Gotta post this image in the fourms to expose what the author of this post is talking about, this type of filth. Remember guys if you want to win a battle, tell all of your chess pieces to sharpen and reload their guns, or things are going to get rusty!

Rating doesn't make you a better player
Exactly, it's your actually quality of play that will determine your rating. Some people just want to rematch to get rating points back and often get too mad when they lose. Ratings do matter and you should care about ratings, but it's not your first priority when getting better at chess. Again, focus on your quality of play and that will help if anyone cared so much about rating.

In my life I have never been offended by anything said by anyone online...
lol

There is a setting to turn off the chat function. Do so and you won't have to listen to them.
Only chickens turn the chat off

So? You don't know these people in real life. Why should I have chat on when people can just sent me a friend request if they want to talk to me? There are children on this site here, so I think disabling chat makes things more peaceful.
In my life I have never been offended by anything said by anyone online I did not actually know in my 3D world. I might stand up and correct someone who is trying to sell some fact they are mistaken about. But insulted? Offended? I hope I'd never let something so silicon be that big a part of my life.
