Here's my abuse contribution:
I think players who bring their queens our too early are likely to be kicked out of cafes in La Jolla for inappropriate behavior.
**still** Not Enough Abuse on chess.com
Sort:
Ouch! That was below the belt!
Besides, someone has come out with an article explaining the wisdom of bringing your queen out early in the game. So, clearly, since someone has written something, it follows logically that is a good practice to play almost all one´s games that way!

Dear fellow chess players-
I invite you to join me - again!- in lamenting the current crisis of Internet culture. The decline of abuse on chess.com over the past few years here has been troubling. What happened to the halcyon days of all manner of putdowns, being called by body parts, racist slurs, and the like???!
I say let´s restore the healthy, respectful abuse of days past!
I started a thread on this very topic, which eventually was locked. The reason? Ostensibly, that the conversation turned political. I have another explanation, a far more plausible one.
So, I have to ask the question that Lenin asked over a hundred years ago, Что делать? (What is to be done?)
I was about to help out but I saw your flag and... (wait for it)....... I ran.

have you done this before? its really a stupid idea, and you sound like an eighty year old man stuck in the past and lamenting the old country. its time for the new generation and if you cant keep up, no one really cares. do you seriously think anyone wants to know how you feel you (ENTER YOUR NATIONALITY HERE) sorry excuse for a jihadist? pathetic and closeminded as well as self centered, you bigot
I plead guilty, your honer, on all counts. Ready to proceed to sentencing!

hey, thanks! That is a meme I can use, I guess. Although he doesn't use CBD at this time. I don't think CBD enhances performance so much as appetite.
Kremlin, I think I figured it out! You are Zach Galifianiakis´ Zach Galifianakis!!

FWIW- not that anybody cares!- it´s pronounced ¨Ee-rahn¨ I think some would disagree that CBD enhances performance! At the very least it is good for pain and anxiety!
