Well chess can still be psychological across a internet connection. Especially in live games were you can use your playing speed to mess with a opponent. Or say things to you get off your game.
What are the standard greetings / thankings for game talk here?

Yes that would be really bad form to speak when oppon. is running out of time eh. Have seen that in other games, refuge of the weak

Clearly I am a she, I reported you. This is my first and only account and I don't need mean users nor does anyone else i'm sure.
At least i didnt add the mental health link this account,

No darling it's YOU who will be doing a runner am afraid. Perpetual lies nowhere near as good as perpetual check even if you can do both you should give the lies a rest. Boring sad stories not required here.
I started this thread to try and find out what is good or acceptable / common online chess ettiquette and I think it's been very helpful to me. Good day to you sir.
The usual start is to say nothing and shake hands.
The usual end is to say "good game" and shake hands.
People from Vulcan usually will say something like "peace and long life" instead of "good game". Women usually will add "would you like me to get you some tea?" after "good game". Fish will usually just say "blob, blob, blob" , which loosely translates to "if I beat you, then you really suck".
Hehehe well you're hilarious but unfortunately you've given me an epiphany I'm going to type *shakes hands* with everyone at the start and leave it at that. I like dominating people in real life with my surprisingly good handshake so this works perfectly.
BTW blob blob blob? your fish have issues ours say glub glub glub.
