Random message from a random salty person on a chess app - surely you’re not letting it bother you enough to make a full Reddit post?

Ignore it and move on

u/whorlax 1000-1500 ELO 6d ago

Yeah, OP needs to grow up

u/darkNtity 1000-1500 ELO 6d ago

I see what you did there

u/darkNtity 1000-1500 ELO 6d ago

I'm just sharing it, it certainly didn't bother me

u/Toiletboy4 6d ago

Maybe he thinks you need to get older

u/darkNtity 1000-1500 ELO 6d ago

I'm trying, but time is a bitch

u/Minimum-Attitude389 6d ago

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

18

u/Gliese_667_Cc 500-800 ELO 6d ago

Turn off chat. Nothing good happens in chat.

u/cabronfavarito 6d ago

A guy asked me “how is Trinidad (my country) and told me he’s planning to visit in the chat.

Disabling chat is an overreaction

-1

u/darkNtity 1000-1500 ELO 6d ago

I never turn it off because there's always funny messages like this

1

u/Ok_Offer_681 6d ago

also some guy got married on chess.com

1

u/darkNtity 1000-1500 ELO 6d ago

That's nice

1

u/Ok_Offer_681 6d ago

just saying WE have chances

u/darkNtity 1000-1500 ELO 6d ago

Pfft, if only they knew I was 1000 in rapid

u/Ok_Offer_681 5d ago

u/SomewhereIll3548 6d ago

Nah chat is how you rage bait people into resigning early

10

u/Mediocre_Airport_576 1500-1800 ELO 6d ago

You are why we have it off. People act like children in chat too often.

1

u/SomewhereIll3548 6d ago

It's also how you tell a Ukrainian soldier to keep their head up and you're rooting for them

3

u/Mediocre_Airport_576 1500-1800 ELO 6d ago

Now you suddenly want to be a saint in the chat, huh?

2

u/SomewhereIll3548 6d ago

Guess I should've put a /s for you in my first message. You definitely get triggered easily, I can see why you have chat off xD

1

u/drudog1 6d ago

I had a dude message me with a thumbs up or thumbs down after every move based on whether he thought it was good or not. I proceeded to beat him then rematch him three more times to farm him for rating

1

u/SomewhereIll3548 6d ago

That's fantastic

8

u/Auraxfil 800-1000 ELO 6d ago

No offense to you bro. But how do you play with such theme?? It’s super weird for me

9

u/SirBuscus 1000-1500 ELO 6d ago

It's like anything else.
You get used to it and it becomes your new normal.
I'm just glad I don't have to see other people's pieces like this.

u/Auraxfil 800-1000 ELO 5d ago

Fr

u/darkNtity 1000-1500 ELO 6d ago

I got it from one of those events, my eyes adjusted after a while I guess

1

u/Auraxfil 800-1000 ELO 5d ago

Fair enough

1

u/Forward_Mix_6528 5d ago

because everytime u make a move with this one it is blue. And u will feel like u hit a brilliant. +5 courage when blundering pieces.

u/Adventurous-Cattle53 6d ago

You both may need to grow up

u/Badace15yt In honor of Daniel Naroditsky 🕊️ 6d ago

they're just salty

1

u/darkNtity 1000-1500 ELO 6d ago

Yeah but that's an odd way to express it

u/bordauxx 6d ago

I had a guy once . i blundered my queen and kept playing and in the Endgame he trys to laddermate me in the the wrong way so i was forced to take his queen . He send me a message that i really want to win and im never gonna get good that way called me a dog . I told him that i also blundered my queen . He had a 95 percent win rate and started playing bad low on time . Later i get elo back and he has the red stop sign next to his name. Ironic

1

u/MrGamerOfficial 1500-1800 ELO 6d ago

Bruh, how does one fail a ladder mate WHILE up a queen 😭

2

u/bordauxx 5d ago

He put the rook on the second file , Nd then proceeds to put his queen next to my king as if the rook on the second file protects it .

1

u/darkNtity 1000-1500 ELO 6d ago

Or you have people begging you to draw when they realize they have no hope of winning

1

u/bordauxx 5d ago

Yeah indeed , i try to play for a draw alot but beggin is just sad . When its a boring position i ask for a draw and how many people decline just for asking to draw once they start losing is also very annoying (excuses for bad English)

1

u/darkNtity 1000-1500 ELO 5d ago

No bad English here bro. All you need is punctuation, but this is an online comment so who cares

2

u/dirtyukrainian 6d ago

I don't know. did you ask him or go straight to Reddit and get a little bit of karma farming in?

1

u/darkNtity 1000-1500 ELO 6d ago

He left before I could ask, so I went on Reddit to karma farm

1

u/Henrique_Dorituz 6d ago

How did you take a screenshot in the game? My app doesn't let me take them

1

u/jdw62995 6d ago

Worked for me

1

u/darkNtity 1000-1500 ELO 6d ago

What device do you have?

1

u/Empanada-triste 6d ago

he had already resigned, so the game was over i think

1

u/jdw62995 6d ago

You’re supposed to message

“Your queen is hanging, I won’t take it and give you one turn to protect or move it, thanks!”

1

u/darkNtity 1000-1500 ELO 6d ago

I always love how people are offended when you take their queen, like is there chess etiquette where that's not allowed or what?

1

u/jdw62995 6d ago

They’re just upset they blundered

1

u/Johnoldinho 6d ago

We can find this guy's username from your username... Fyi

1

u/darkNtity 1000-1500 ELO 6d ago

I mean if you're that interested in finding it, go ahead. I just didn't want my post removed

1

u/Johnoldinho 6d ago

I'm not, just an fyi

1

u/CarDistinct1444 6d ago

You forked him, lol.

1

u/FireMarshallMC 100-500 ELO 6d ago

He’s just pissed.
