You know, when you have played chess, have you ever been teased or insulted every time you lose in a game just because they mad a good move? If you have been offended by these kinds of people, don't even be hurt! Those people are just trying to get you angry so they can watch you getting mad and start throwing a fit. And besides, the people who are boasting are actually the losers. Know why? Because the were losing the good sportsmanship part. In my view, I think the good sportsmanship is at least 68% of the whole game/tournament. So even if they won the other 32%, they lost at least 7/10 of the whole war. It is like the old saying you have won the battle, but you have not won the war. But in here, if you just keep quiet, then actually the boasting person will keep on boasting, because they know they got you stumped. So in my view, it is a good thing to have a little revenge catch phrase to get even with them. People's fav. is GG, but that just shows you that you are arrogant. See chessmaster's "gg battle, a must read" So if you would like to, please comment what is your favorite catch phrase for getting even with with your boasting opponent. Plz do not skip. This is a reference for future chess players on how to deal with boastful players. Also see my blog and look for "Show Good Sportsmanship"
P.S. You can also tell the person who is boasting that their lack of modesty just lost them most of the war. And my fav. catch phrase is, "Keep your glory, but just go jump off a duck."
