Trash Talkers

Now that would be a sound investment in my chess future )

Probably my fav is to say "Bold" after my opponent makes a dubious move.

Lmaooo

I have yet to see an example of trash-talking in this thread.  Trash should be executed with tact, and leave the opponent bewildered and full of self-loathing, without prompting a report:

"Not many people at 1200 level can play down a knight and 2 pawns like you!"
Or, perhaps
"I appreciate how you continue to play an obviously losing position...that takes guts, my bro!"

Just turn chat off, then you don't have to deal with any childish nonsense.

The liquor store owners I know would pull out their shotgun or call the police if you did that, either way it probably won't end up good for you.

as a 5-year-old...would you mind posting your husband's name please...just...a...wondering

Nice once someone blunderd a queen I said you are quite a comedian I laughed really hard

They said I was quite impolite lol

Lol

Actually you can be banned for asking a question, but not that specific one though

However you can probably get muted because that's just bad sportsmanship and rude in some ways

Well ig

i dont rlly trash talk cus im usually the one with a stoopy rating

Why bother with trash talk? Be friendly. Life is short. Being unpleasant may make you feel better about yourself in the short run - or give you a sense of catharsis - but I can assure you you'll end up lonely and sad if you follow that path for too long. Everyone makes plenty of mistakes. Have a little empathy - you'll be in their blundering shoes someday yourself.

The best approach for dealing with someone behaving unpleasantly during a game? Ignore them - and beat them if you can. Macho attitudes and trash talk? That's only for the sophomoric. :-)

And if you're slaughtering someone and trash talking them then? That's really bad sportsmanship ... like continuing to run up the score in a football game (or a futbol game!) just to embarrass the other team when they're already down by 100 points. Only jerk coaches allow that to happen (and nobody likes them).  Not a good lesson in life. :-) 

Even if it "feels" fun, you're hurting yourself in the long run.

ok mister no fun hooman 

lol @DinDin - it's great to trash talk with your friends (especially when they're in carbon form in front of you and you know they enjoy it). So - no buzzkill here. But - doing with people you don't really know on the internet? That's not really "fun". If you've ever played a jerk in tennis who tries to get in your head with trash talk and snide comments, you'll come to realize they just start to get a bad reputation among all the players. (And those reputations are hard to get rid of...) - So have fun. But be aware that this stuff will follow you around. :-) 

wowie these are ur only two comments in anything... irrelevant but eh

I'm new here. :-) lol  ...Oh - and to be fair (full disclosure) I can't afford trash talk either - my ratings (and my sloppy play) can be terrible. So, not only would it not be in my nature to do it, I have no need to annoy my opposition! LOL

@ElderSigns Smack talking and being nice aren’t necessarily mutually exclusive. It’s fun, you should try it
