I guess I missed that one. Then again, maybe I just forgot. There have been so many. Cool

I have no axe to grind against BQ. Yet, one thing that I thought was peculiar is that in her bio she stated in regard to the need for knowing chess openings: "...that's not chess!"

The exclamation point may not have been there, but it was implied. Odd, I  thought, coming from someone with a greater than 2,000 rating.

JT's been around Since before RQ. While their respective demeanors may bear some resemblance, they're not the same person. For one, JT is actually a girl....

I came to the same conclusions, except I am somewhat surprised to hear that BQ wasn't a female.

Geez...aren't we all the "busy bodies".

Based on what?  Profile information?  So JT is also 111 years old?

That's twice you've typed "BQ"-- are you talking about RoseQueen?  In the forums BQ usually refers to BorgQueen

As the Grobe said, JT has been around for quite a while, so pipe down.

GG - that actually means "Good Game". And if I'm not mistaken, lingo came from online games (DOTA, WoW, and others which are being played long before Chess.com was established) where usually it is followed by "WP" (GG WP), which means "Well Played". I don't really see the point of getting hurt by such a term.

I often times get abused by people when I draw a game with a stalemate(When he has much more material then me e.g queen and/or rook), or by 50 move rule. Yesterday a guy couldn't mate me with a bishop and a rook against my lone king. In general people abuse opponents with stronger rudeness then just "gg".

E.g "F$%# noob your tactics s#^& monkey (*@!"

At least 20 pages concern something else.

Nope.

I saw gg for the first time in 1998. I think that date preceded WoW.

The lingo originated in chess. Long ago, however, thx was more common. Then more lazy players started playing chess online and gg began its ascent.

TheGrobe
Those new players were 33% more lazy, to be precise about it.

Pipe down yourself if you're too stupid too realize the initial mention of RQ was just a joke comparing their wonderful personalities.

Alas, not all my attempts at humor work out.  You know the same feeling of failure from most of your attempts at intelligent posts.
