![]() Now, as noted, there are many who use the chat area to insult others or to make themselves feel better after a loss ("You were lucky that I blundered" is a common theme that I see.like blunders are not a part of blitz, and if *I* had blundered it would have been because I suck and not because it was bad luck for me). BUT, if the person is friendly, I will still enjoy that game and whatever other ones we play after that because we took the time to be courteous. I have had games where I lost track of the clock, and lost on time. ![]() You use what you learned in the game you played well, and move on to the next one. If you know you played well, and you lost on time because you were chatting.well, so it goes. Honestly, rating is only a way to show yourself that you have improved. I wouldn't go as far to say this was deliberate, but one should be careful, too much chating could hurt your rating. Just my opinion.Ĭhat can be tricky, because sometimes I find people to be "too friendly in chat", making me lose a lot of time on chatting instead on playing. I generally will not grant a rematch if someone has disabled chat. I have found a few people on here to play a LOT of live chess with because they are courteous and friendly in chat while playing. I find it enhances the experience to say hello and to maybe find someone that you like to play with AND talk to. Unlike oTB chess, you cannot even see your opponent on here, and you cannot talk to them before/after the game (not easily, anyway).
