A "patzer" is any chess player that is not as good at chess as you are.

Calling someone was patzer means they're a tough player, like a tank.

You are referring to 'panzer' but perhaps you're being humorous. happy.png

Florida panzers are very rare. There's only about 500 left in the wild.

Patzer is a player who is bad, but not because he/she is a amateur player or new to the game. A patzer might be intelligent actually and even know many things on chess theory but his/her ability to apply this knowledge suffers and therefore plays obvious bad moves even when time pressure is not an issue. The reasons for that might be so many:  inability to apply yourself to the task at hand, inability to concentrate for long periods of time, very bad board vision, mistakes in decision making over the board that you never bothered to fix, bad memory, not taking the game as seriously as you should, or simply because you play for years but never bothered to go deep in chess theory (too much practical experience but not theoretical), or studying too much but not playing too much (theoretical over practical experience), not being introduced to the game very young etc.
