trash talk is disrespectful and is not proper chess etiquette (unless it's made in a playful way between friends,that's different)
i have no enemies so all who play this game i'm so fond of are viewed as friends in my eyes and nothing anyone says is found offensive. But i will respond
honestly, i like trash talking but dont start it. i dont get angry it is just funny to me because it is silly and childish. an example of trash talking:
somebody called me a fag and I asked why they thought that. they just continued to insult me by questioning my sexuality. while this is going on i am whooping them in game after game. finally I jokingly asked "do you think im a fag becuase i keep beating the crap out of you?" they appreciated the humor but still continued calling me gay. i thought that was funny
i dont think i would go that far unless provoked. i start like "u should give up now it'll be less painful lol" u know i dont think thats bad. but calling out of name i dont feel is right. and as mentioned b4 disable chat or dont respond
If you under 18, the trash talk might be something you will grow out of.
and if not is it a sign of old age crankyness or what
Good point. But playing the odds, trash talk points to North American male under 20.
is canada a real country?
Thank you for you interest Skybabe.
Last time I paid attention we were a colony of the United States with George Bush as our queen.
But things change so fast. Check Wikipedia.
lol that was funny
I feel bad for you. Winners speak with their game.
ging by ur raiting i guess ur not a winner. i'll beat u @ will loser
pimpskillz you are the loser
if trashtalking makes me a loser i guess we both are guilty. hi fellow loser
I can ignore idiots when they trash talk; little dogs bark the loudest.
thats is true, but all dogs bite.
...and then get their butt whooped with a newspaper to put them in their proper place because 'the man' is the master of the barking dog. Don't forget dogs also get their noses rubbed in their own pee by 'the man.'
Pick something better than a dog to emulate.
good one. but tend to favor the wolf. id love to see u rub the wolf nose in his on pee. oh u probably only deal with dogs under 40lbs.

That's a good question, Skibaby.
Canada is America's hat and not an actual country. However, it is a magical hat that sends snow and an endless stream of entertainers to the United States. Most scientists agree that the snow and entertainers leave Canada because they hate the French, a subterranean race of warlock cannibals, that live in the east side of the hat.
thanks for the insite. truly apreciated. lol
I think trash talking is ok between adults, perhaps if you do it to an 8 year old then it isn't cool. Also old people are not use to it so you shouldn't do it to them either.
i try to keep it respectful and non offensive.
i love goldendogs dig at that "patzer" who said he didnt believe in psychology he believed in good moves...but his actions surrounding the chess board said otherwise...conscious or unconscious Mr.Fischer involved himself in some real "trash talking" on many occasions-maybe not directly with words but with actions and inference...he also said that his favorite part of a game was when he crushed his opponents ego (dick cavat show)...sounds pretty psychological to me...anyway, if you go by the paradigm that use all resources available, then trash talking IS a vialble resourse...if you follow the idea that this is a gentlemans game then no trash talking! between friends anything goes...i dont like trashing being talked to me so i dont engage in that behavior myself unless they REALLY get under my skin...
Except for a time or two during the 1972 WC match, Fischer's behaviour *while at the board* is pretty exemplary. He even beat himself up over tipping a pawn towards Larsen as he moved it forward. Aggressive and unprofessional I gather.
The recurring "Fischer Ploy" that is sometimes taken as psychological was his chronic tardiness. However, I always took that as a combination of him hating to get out of bed and also avoiding all the people who are bustling about/taking photos at the beginning of the game.
His trash talk between games is legend. He had been touting himself as world's best for a decade at least before he finally beat Spassky in 1972, and he would sometimes call an upcoming game like Ali called his boxing matches. I think he said he would beat Najdorf in 25 moves, and he did.
I categorize the out-of-game trash talk as a different animal than the in-game banter, like hustlers engage in during their park games. Friendly banter, if both players are having fun with it, is something else. If I can get a smile I don't mind doing it with friends or amiable strangers. I make it pretty clear that I am fooling around and am happy to receive as well as dish.
wow would love to learn from u guys. chess and trashtalk
I can ignore idiots when they trash talk; little dogs bark the loudest.
so lets see who bite the hardest. lets play or are you afraid?
It is kind of tough to do, little dog, when you only accept challenges from players below 1300.
my challenges are open to all
I much prefer an opponent who talks in the chat column to a silent game.
i agree care for a game?
Did anyone ever play the original Monkey Island? This reminds me of Insult Swordfighting (except with chess, obviously).
I'm wondering if there is any connection between the fact that you like to trash talk and your rating of 1239?
i actually play better when i trashtalk because i try to back it up and u get an incomplete on ur hw because i win most of my games talk or not timing out was a factor but now my cpu is up and running again. care for a friendly game.
Hi guys,
Trash talk has no place in Chess. I can understand it (but not condone it) in games such as football, but not in chess. Those who are on the receiving end of trash talk, which I am sure has happened to all of us at one time, you should just ignore it. I think ignoring a trash talker irritates them more than anything else you could do. To those who do trash talk, ... you should have a little more pride and you should try to develop a little more self confidence.
Watch your backrank.

Well, not saying all trash talkers are bad, but normally it is the "inferiority complex" that causes most people to open their trap.
chess is an ever evolving game of skill. win or lose i always learn something. either of u 2 care for a friendly game

Hello. Rating of 1800, also like to trash talk. Your argument is in tatters.
I heard a while back that people were thinking of introducing Chess.com's equiv to Godwin's law (Do not mention others' grades to attack their argument). Perhaps it is useful here.
u must look beyond the raings, like start date and amount of games played, i do believe they effects ones rating also
I love to trash talk. sometimes as a strategy to distract my opponent but mostly because its fun and make the game more interesting and challenging. its like two games in one. YOU KNOW YOU CANT WIN SO GIVE UP NOW IT'LL BE LESS PAINFUL FOR YOU!!!!!!!
so you think you got pimp skills? i think you got wimp skills.
so you want to be pimped huh prove ur better. care for a friendly game
I always enjoy that smug air that floats about me when someone that has been slinging trash out of their mouth gets thoroughly stomped.
me too
I don't mind trash talk, but I hate arrogance, and most people who trash talk while playing chess I know are simply arrogant, I really despise them, I don't think it is a good strategy to win games, because in order to win you must first play, and I don't play trash talkers if they don't watch their behavior and stay within the bounderies between friendly banter and arrogance and lacking the ability to shut up, or make friends.
you can see from this post that I am also one who uses the sarcastic method.
lets be friends. wanna play
