Chess is just a game. Rating points are without value. The true challenge is staying friendly to people online. Regardless of the fact that you meet them just once online, and never will meet them in person.

NOTE: when playing black I  always play 1.... f5 2.....Kf7 (except against 2.Bc4 ^^ ) . I am doing this already since 2018 or something. I broke my rating record with it several times, and I know this (absolutely horrendous) opening from top to bottom. I could write a book about it. A useless book, but still.  I think there's (at my level) a large part to say about the surprise of this opening, and the fact that (in 3 0 blitz) knowing the waters you thread intimately is apparently worth .. two pawns or something... (?!). 

Of course, I often get completely crushed by someone in this opening, but the amount of people who give their queen for free is also rather high. If it happened to you against me, don't be angry. It happens to all of us, and you are still an absolutely wonderful being and I respect you a lot. I am not joking - you are valuable no matter what or who or where you are.  Bless you! :-)
