tell them something along the lines of "stfu you pos, nobody asked for your opinion retard" that should be sufficient to assert your dominance

lol - I'm from the U.S.A., but I don't get called weird. If anything, people look up to me in the fact that I play chess; it is something they usually know little about, but believe it is for the smartest people. If people think you are nerdy or weird for playing chess, then that probably says more about the circle of people you are around than it does about the game of chess.

Only when you say you play chess? Just trying to eliminate other possibilities here.

Haha. I haven't played Yugioh in a long time, but it was a good card game. Actually it is a lot like chess in the fact that there is a lot of strategy, a lot of preparation/study of opponent and a lot of threats you must learn to deal with in the moment.

It's their problem for thinking that. A reasonable person would not think that chess is weird. I'm sure most people don't think that chess is weird. Just ignore them, because they are stupid.
ignoring them is insufficient. you have to at least call them a retard and tell them to f-off, or else they will continue to see you as inferior to them in the dominance hierarchy and will get others to view the situation in the same way

Well, as someone who has been around for 30 years, the kind of strategies you suggest do not work.

Using cuss words and diminutive terms on other people doesn’t make you any cooler. And having a very long LMAO doesn’t make me feel attacked. Grow up.
