There is no difference. Turn off the chat if rude people are bothering you as there is nothing else to be done. You can also report them if the violated any rule. Best of luck!
why are people so rude to me
bruh completely unnecessary it literally has nothing to do with the forum
Pity and ignore them, don’t take their tough guy facade at face value, that’s just giving them what they wanted to begin with.
When playing people you don’t know, you can simply have chat turned off. :)

i just started playing chess yesterday so obviously i'm not very good and almost every time i enter a game with chat on the other person makes fun of me like it says beginner on my page and I'm supposed to be playing with other beginners to try and get better. please stop being so mean I'm trying and chess is confusing for me
also can someone explain the difference between pawns and the horses ?
Happens. I feel you.
As an earlier poster said, turn off chat and report/block.
There is no piece called a ‘horse.’ In reality, it’s a knight. Knights move like this:
Two squares up, one to the side.


People are people.
They are always the same.
Turn off the chat.
And remember... you are a man... you shouldn't be so sensitive person.
Try to smile in reply to their offensive words.

It's no problem. Just turn off the chat. Watch 100 videos for beginners and then play only slow games as ur taking the beginner lessons on here. Ur gonna be fine. People talking annoying stuff, thats life. U do u and ur gonna be a good player.

They did the same to the saints and prophets who came before us.
A horse like piece is called Knight, it moves like an L and can climb over other pieces.
It worths 3 points, same than a bishop. It is usually used in the beginning of the game.
In many other languages, like Portuguese we say cavalo, and in Spanish caballo, that in English means Horse, for knight.
If you are a newbie I suggest you play against Jimmy, the Bot.

I like how people are responding to the title when the last sentence of the OP, the account creation date, and the status make it an obvious troll...

It's funny in Russia we call Chess horse - "horse'.
Bishops - we call "elephants".

In my country we also call knight a horse. There is one more term - skakač and literal translation of that word is jumper xd.

It's because you write like a grown up and are not illiterate.
