in most cases, enjoyed the game, will cover all bases.
why so unfriendly?

Yes but again sometimes the winner might have enjoyed it more.. In my opinion at least I am not surprised when the opponent says nothing because it is so usual these days.

Hostile responses to innocuous pre or post-game comments,is indicative of some one who has some cognitive distortions.The hostile comments,whatever form they take,shows that the utterer has neither an accurate or rational image of themselves,their opponent,or the outcome of the game.If someone responds to "thank you for the game" with a string of obsenities,that inflamatory resposne isn't appropriate to what is going on in the cyber-enviroment...it is a hostile escaltion to a non-hostile comment.That escalation,in of itself says that the utterer has some distorted thinking going on.In fact,any hostile comment after a game,wherein the hostility was unprovoked,indicates the utterer has distorted thinking if not outright pyschological issues.

To say "Good game" when neither or either have played good chess is just simple ignorance for the sake of pretending to be polite.
The key word there is 'game'...if I play tennis with my friend and say good game afterwards I don't think or assume I played like Roger Federer
yin yang, baby. superior is the new inferior and vice versa, and wrapping around again and reversing and moving through each other.

I disagree with rmurray,chess is a game...how the player chooses to view the game is up to them,viewing it as an act of hostility,and then acting on that view by actually being hostile is neither productive nor healthy.I do agree that distorted thinking is probably the norm in human behavior rather than the exception.The state of humanity and the individual would improve if instead of perpetuating distorted thinking,individuals would correct it.

the basic premiss of the "game" is the annihilation of your opponent(enemy). does your blood pressure go up just sitting down at the board? ....sweating? it's pretty primal.
and those grandmasters are a pretty wacked out bunch.
i don't follow it closely, but i hear there are jew haters, and board slingers, cheaters.......normal, slimy, human behavior

Your keyboard needs looking aaaaaaaaaaaaaattttttt.
The Three Stooges have gathered.
I often comment on a good move, an annoying fork, enjoyed the game, etc... This is whether I'm winning or losing.
I say GG not because he or me played actually well, but becuase the "game" was good, meaning fun. But i think if i say "fun game" instead the other guy may think i'm making fun of him. Then again maybe saying "thanks for the game" is more neutral.
Cause nice guys finish last...
For my own two cents, no matter now badly I am beaten or how quickly and even when the other player is horribly rude (as I had one last week who was being obnoxious with "hurry up" comments when it was a long time control), I will always say thank you for the game. Not thank u. Thank YOU using proper spelling. To me, that's the equivalent of a handshake and shows good sportsmanship. I think most people saying good game, even when I got my keister handed to me, are trying to do the same thing so I'm not offended by it.
Thank you.
I always say gl at the begining of every game (people have disable chat because of that though) and when I lose i always say gg (exept when chat is disabled)

I really don't understand why people use the chat feature at all. The only reason to talk to your opponent is because of the game and there is a button for offering a draw. The last thing I want to hear is some sniveling little bastard trying to be pleasent at the begining of a chess game and I am not allowed to cuss them out for it on this site. "Good game" after the game is rarly apropriate, most games are decided by horrific blunders and are most certainly not good games.
Idk I think you guys are puting a little to much thought into this. is it really that bad to be polite and just type two letters at the begining of a game? to me it seems simple and nice to be polite
Exactly. A little common sense can tell you if someone is being a jerk. Politeness is never a bad thing. If someone says "gl" to me, I usually reply with "thank you!" and then I'm quiet so we can concentrate (in live). Otherwise, may of my games are teaching games so in those, I chat with the opponent about candidate moves, thoughts, what I see in the position, Et cetera. And sometimes we have friendly banter... I'll tell the opponent that his knight is a "pest" or something silly and they'll usually laugh. It's meant for fun. If in doubt, I stay quiet other than a "thank you for the game" at the end.
the one thing I hate though (has this ever happend to you?) is when someone tells me I suck when I lose or laughs at me by saying lol. another thing is when I win and the other guy accuses me of cheating! Im like WTF? if I was cheating then why am I still rated so low?
Yes. I've been told I suck. I usually tell them that they're telling me something I already know. My rating is also pathetic. I've never been accused of cheating, probably because my winning percentage is incredibly low (hehehe). And with the idiot moves I sometimes make, I doubt anyone ever will. ;). The way I avoid this is by playing with people I know in a group with which I'm comfortable. Even there, someone accused me (indirectly) of being stupid for failing to capture a rook when I had the chance (side note about that....I have a stronger player who goes over games with me and it turns out that capturing that rook would have been a blunder.... I wish I could say that but the truth was I didn't capture it because I didn't see it). ;).
lol I generaly play here and just seek any random player It happens very rarely to me, but it does happen. the most memorable one happend in a 10/0 rapid tounament were the guy just went crazy and started writting in all caps to everybody in the tournament that I was a cheater. he then withdrew the tounament and when I finnished (with 2 loses...) I found that he had compleatly spamed my home page and mail with f***ing cheater. I then blocked him and spent the next couple of days cleaning everything out.
But there is still no good reason to talk to someone during a live game. Don't you people find it anyoing when someone is so chipper and happy to be alive? I have to take it in real life, but I most certainly will not do so on the internet. Just disable chat and don't be surprised when others do so as well. I don't value any of my opponents as people and honestly don't know why you expect me to.
Its ok, we got an ok discussion after all..
