If I can share just how ive personally dealt with insults and mockery in the chat and its way more effective than I initially thought it would be, also has a calming effect on my own nerves. I still dont always have the patience to reply this way but lately I try to do it every time someone is rude, the usual attacks are: "Damn youre so f-ing slow OMG youre the worst player" along those lines and I reply immediately "Wauw that didnt feel good to read the insults you wrote, youre clearly the better player and play much faster as well, you played really well in the opening hope you enjoy your next game more"

100% of the time this reply gets either no reply or something like "naah youre good bro... gg.."

i dont get replies to that often but when I do It feels so calming and I immediately have focus for the next game no tilt. Try this sometimes but not for effect of opponent but for oneself, very good stuff

But when im REALLY tilted sometimes and someone is being real sassy in the chat I sometimes write "hey remember me btw? You insulted me 2 months ago, look out the window, do you see me? by the Toyota im waving to you right now, go to the kitchen ." and as soon as I send that I regret it thinking ill be banned any sec tilting is hard sometimes evil

And this is why Alien's aren't visiting us... Not only is it wide known that humans will treat one another as crap as soon as they can do it and get away with it, but we have also given up hope for humanity if our first instinct is to block unknown people from all communiction permanently. im not saying it shouldn't be done, not accusing anyone, I totally see the point.

Im just saying try to imagine if humans from the 1800's invented a way to play games with oneanother instantley across the wrold, I hardy think that they would instantley revert to acting petty and abusive, back then we had appreciation, respect, meekness and acting politely was a real thing. I guess it's possible to evolve and devolve as humanity, a very old book talks about how technology and advancements lead to arrogance and pride if we dont bind ourselves to ritualistically prectice routines of humbling ourselves and softening our hearts.

You don't think Europeans from the 1800s would act abusive if they had a way to talk to Africans instantly across the world? 💀

Bro the 1800s was not full of nice people lol

plz forgive my rants noone needs to feel pressure to reply to anything tongue im just venting, obviously im very romantic about humanity and since it's genuine it tears the heart apart to slowly have to realise that todays degeneracy will be the role models for future generations... history repeats itself, until the degeneracy has become so miserable that the old teachings will start making alot more sense, periods of peace until the next wave of pride and arrogance that is on its way with the comfort and technological advancements that will come along with organazing peaceful societies again. Will we eventually learn anything about orselves?

I get what you're saying but maybe it wasn't the best example 😂

I'm not a fan of trash talking and just want to play chess.

I only really started this year and got really annoyed when people would message me, even in Russia just to shout "HURRY UP!" or "YOU LOSE" or something. It's distracting and unpleasant.

Luckily I discovered you can turn off chat on chess.com. This solved most of my problems. However recently I noticed that Chess.com will inform me, even though I have turned off chatting that "Your opponent wants to chat!". I obviously don't respond, I wait till after the game and then message them to ask what they wanted to chat about...it's so strange....they never reply.

Recently one guy somehow logged in to another browser and messaged me while playing, and while I had chat turned off. Again, super distracting and annoying.

So my question is, what's wrong with some of you?

Unfortunately nowadays chess is mostly played by adhd kids who dont have good manners yet. If you take some time to think their inability to sit quiet and concentrate will kick in and the trash talking starts.

I totally see what youre saying, and theres nothing to disagree with, today its 2025 and Africans among themselves have more hate and judgement than people from the 1800's had. Amongst Asians you have clear definitions of which Asian nations are the racially/genetically superior ones and which are de inferior ones, among Latin Americans you have the same a clear ranking system, as Europeans we understand how different parts of Europe view oneanother "racially" (in general ofcourse)

What im saying is young lads from the 1800's held the door for people, got up for old folks, acting obnoxiously in public was a rare thing that'd get you ostricized from your community, there were consequences, old book advices were much more prevelent in society, people used to worship their families/communities instead of worshipping themselves. I think you see my point here, but yeah what you said was the first thing I thought about as I was writing that post so that tells us something about the human condition and not necessarily about white Europeans. Personally I dont believe in racism but I know that humans will always have impulses and instincts to judge one another certain ways, its just the way our brains are programmed for survival and makes perfect sense. But when society forgets to practice teaching of meekness then these preprogrammed instincts and lack of impulse control ultimately always leads to attrocities.

Perhaps were fighting the wrong Demon's here? What if racism isnt the problem, what if its just arrogance, pride and lack of impulse control? With arrogance of course comes the notion that very old civilizations and people didnt know certain things better than us, that they didnt understand a crucial component of the human conditions better than we think we understand it today.

Btw love your screen name happy as a life long martial artist I always tend to think about skill levels in everything according to the belt system in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, I can pridefully call myself a chess bluebelt, in BJJ theres only blue, purple, brown, black so becoming a bluebelt is a huge thing takes people 1-5 years to achieve with dedicated training, took me 2.5 years, my dream is to hopefully become a purple belt one day, brown belt is out of the question.

Being a BJJ blue belt at anything in life means that it commands absolute respect, how many Martial Arts styles with belt systems can say that about their very first adult belt? Often referred to "The game of human chess" BJJ is alien technology compared to other disciplines, also the world would be a much more peaceful place if everyone who walked around also had killer BJJ game. This is whats interesting with life, become physically strong and dangerous and the world is more peaceful, become weak and unable to express open agression and you will develop passive agression which is infinitely more detrimental to society.
