Much like many 'discussions' on these forums.
Why does chess attract so many beta males?
Sort:
So true! Insecurity leads to being petty. Guys need to realize intelligence, wit, and charm can sexy too.
This is what I mean. Titled players using insults that only they know the meaning of. So aggressive.

A better question is: why do the forums seem to attract so many would-be fizzakeeatrists?
damn...it seems like someone got called out lmao
These are all labels anyway. You enjoy playing chess, bad losers are part of the game. Online, you can switch to youtube when an opponent is being petty. In tournaments, you can stand up and observe other games. The other part of the game is being sportsmanlike, but is made more difficult with anonymous screens.
In some endgame situations, a piece does not always mean a loss. There are times when a draw is the only result.
nothing here just a bunch of fizzakeeatrists.

I think you're severely underestimating the stratospherically high levels of douchebaggery in the "alpha male" community. I think it's just a male thing, really. Hazing, bullying and pressure to conform are just part of coming-of-age when you're XY.
*TakeThisPawn* Sounds like entrapment!

What is it about this game that attracts the vindictive and the petty? The type that will sit there and let their clock run down because you're up a piece?
I have a theory that its because most of us aren't very strong physically. So we play chess which is a perfect way to be passive aggressive against other males without the threat of ever being punched in the face.
Next thing you'll be howling about rematches I suspect. Just another Betamax!

Interesting perceptive. Even though i differ to say that everybody have some elements of both alpha, beta and omega male during the day.

Better than being an alpha male. In a civilized society, there is nothing more ridiculous.

When I'm losing, I feel I am actually chased by crabs, and that's why I think it is unfair. The goddess Maat is momentarily dead. The universe has tricked me. There were no crabs visible on the rules list.
I am definitely more concerned about the crabs.. They will come for me again.
