...Or, you know, touch a pawn—preferably with your own brain attached.

P.S. – Can we talk about the other species of menace? The “-150 material, three pawns vs. my Queen, but I will simply let the clock run down to zero” guy.
Brother. Just resign. What are we doing? Are we waiting for me to spontaneously combust? Do you think my Wi-Fi is going to drop because you manifested it hard enough?
If rage-cheating is evil, letting the clock drain when you’re down 25 points of material is just stupid AND evil. You’re not holding the game hostage; you’re holding yourself hostage. I’m literally scrolling TikTok while your time ticks down. You are the only one missing out on the next game.
Honestly, get help. Or at least get a faster internet connection so you can quit faster.
Stay bad, stay banned, and for the love of GothamChess, just resign.

Like… bro. Bro.
We all lose. I once hung a back-rank mate to a six-year-old named “LiamDa7256” because I was busy convincing myself I was the second coming of Magnus. It happens. We laugh, we cry, we queue up again like the degenerates we are.
But you? You saw my dubious knight move and thought, “Ah yes, time to consult the binary gods.”
You’re not a chess player. You’re a middle manager with a fragile ego and a laptop fan that sounds like a jet engine. You didn’t win. You just acted as a flesh-based USB stick for a fish that lives in a server rack. Congratulations. I hope the dopamine hit from that +8 ELO was worth the existential emptiness.
And you know what the worst part is? Somewhere out there, some kid—or just some guy trying to have a nice evening—just got absolutely shellacked by you. They don’t know you’re a fraud. They think they just lost 50 rating points to a guy named “Imnotcheater” who suddenly started playing like a grandmaster after hanging their queen.
They might log off for the week. They might think they’re trash. All because they were actually playing against an AI that thinks 26 moves ahead while you sit there sweating in a tank top.
Thank god the ban waves are swift. Watching you guys get caught is the only endgame I truly enjoy. Go play against the computer offline if you’re that scared of a loss. Touch grass. Or, you know, touch a pawn—preferably with your own brain attached.

No personal attacks intended, just venting. But seriously, if you cheat at rapid, touch some grass.
