I sometimes get threatening messages from random players that I played against. Why do these players send these messages? What's the point? And why do they think it's OK?

They don’t have the balls to take it to you face to face and the on the internet it’s easy to act tough. Some people think murder is okay.

Threats because of chess loses? That's crazy. Remember when Nigel Short's dad did that at a tournament game? 😆

They think it's fine because they're jerks, report them immediately.

Humans are violent creatures. I just block and report them.

they think they're tough guys

some days I do trash talk my opponents, but only in my head. "oh, you're playing this? Weak, let's see how you fare after... THIS MOVE!!!"

some are angry that they are losing, some are just doing the equivalent of screaming at people for attention.

and when they scream at you, don't respond, just leave so you can frustrate them

Someone once called me a cheater even though I just took hanging pieces, did basic tactics, and played at 46% accuracy. some people are just stupid.
