Patzer is just a bad chess player, aka woodpusher
What Does ''Patzer'' Mean?
Patzer is that annoying guy at your chess club who things he is much better than he is and talks to much. If you look around your club and cannot figure out who the patzer is, it might be you.
Isn't that a Kibbitzer?
Patzer is also a very over-used word by people in a condescending way towards people who have a lower online 'rating,' even if their opinions are valid. Really though, anybody who throws around the word "patzer" like it's some original 'insult' is an idiot, and compared to people who are better than them at chess, a patzer as well.
I was refering to this website deweyoxberger :) I dont think I've ever heard it used at a chess club tbh.
Perhaps it might be acceptable to use the term "patzer" to describe oneself, though, in self-deprecating humour or perhaps accurate confession of one's modest abilities in the game. And no matter how good or poor a player who makes such a confession really is, someone else will doubtless agree that he or she is a patzer.
Patzer = Capivara because love to eat grass.
imagine bumping a 6 year old forum... 🤯
There are many weird words or slangs here in the forums. Now I know what ''troll'' is. But what is patzer? A beginner? A bad chess player?
