Go up one level in this thread


Thats why I don't plan to pay for playing chess online. It's bad enough if you
lose fair and square and your opponent gloats. But that's motivational. I just
have to improve my level of play/concentration to beat that funk. Or maybe get
some food/water/sleep.  Disconnects are not so bad unless preceeded by a
shitstorm. And followed by a match request by a mysterious historyless guest.
But it doesn't get any better if I win. I don't get showered by praise all that
often. Rather more often a meteorological manure event. Other events that might
trigger a hissy fit: Not granting a rematch. C'mon, there are chess morons out
there. And it might actually feel like rolling on Concertina wire playing them.
There are other situations but enough already.
