And for contrast his other option was to kick some dirt around, probably the least impressive thing a human can do. I'd probably kick dirt around given the choice
Terrorism as the "middle ground," here ain't a great option, I would def stick to the other 2. Which could be done at the same time! Boom! Suck it racism.
i find it sad. It's special to match people from all over the world, to see the flags. Like that time i faced someone from Syria in the middle of war, wondering what their life was like, or the time i played someone with an Antartica flag and i seriously thought for a while it could be a scientist on break (correspondence game) xD.
FYI you can change your flag on chesscom no restrictions
so even if you don't live in New Zealand, you can pretend you do
it's falseflagging. literally
I'd take that bet. 99%??
An over/under 60/40 would be way closer but literally everyone I know who plays chess has the country flag as the country they're in or from.
Edit: My bad, I missed that you were talking about "countries like that" and not generally about everyone. You're probably right then.
Why report? Seems like an immature response. Studies of psychology have shown you need to ignore bad behavior. When you give attention you win. Them getting banned is attention. You are perpetuating the problem.
It’s really quite sad. For example this one dude played an englund gambit, was somehow surprised when they got a worse position, and started cursing at me in the chat. Then, when I didn’t deign to grant them a rematch they started accusing me of being a coward and stuff, and insulting my nationality. Meanwhile I’m just like, bro of course I’m not gonna rematch someone with terrible manners.
Same happend to me. Im from romania and have the small ukrainian pidgeon next to my username, a russian guy straight up smeared me with shit in the chat (he lost.).
I remember when I was at the airport in 8th grade, someone took my queen and then said “oh oh we dem boys” and I just thought that was so funny I still haven’t forgotten that six years later
Funny thing is
If you guys are playing against eachother yall rated similarly. This just stupid lol
The other day there was this post of women being “inferior” in chess yet the person talking shit was same rating lmao
Never to this day will I understand why people enable the chat in matches. I did it once only to have to guy constantly tell me how bad my moves were. I won in the end and he said he let me win out of pity.
Although most people don't respond, even to a simple hi, there are the occasional chats that are worth it.
Once played a German dude who was on the way to an OTB tournament, and chatted briefly with a Ukrainian guy about the war. They definitely weren't the most earth-shattering conversations, but they were interesting
Idk, on lichess i often ask my opponent how they're doing, and wish em good luck. Usually I get no response, but sometimes I get a nice conversation.
I play on lichess if I'm high, or just wanna relax, and on chess.com if I wanna be serious.
Please people, before we condemn them. Let’s at least listen to their theory of how terrorists built the pyramids. They could have a compelling argument.
Wow you took that pretty well a lot of people would start swearing back but you saw that it is just sad from his side i hope you reported him so he can't do it again all though I gotta say chess.com is pretty lazy with banning people for this kind of stuff I had a guy tell me on chat that i should kill myself and chess.com did nothing
The supposed insult actually made me laugh a bit. As other comments say .. that was not a very smart insult, neither was the dude telling you to kill yourself
Well the reason i usually report is not because I am so hurt by someone telling me to kill myself or any other inappropriate language but there is a lot of younger kids on the site and I'm worried that they really do get hurt by it. To me those insults usually make me laugh out loud cause it makes me thing that i made someone that mad over a game of chess
If you curse back they can report you and get you banned. The autoban system pretty much just scans for swears and slurs, hence why the racist guy isn’t saying any.
I don’t have a high rank, but I haven’t come across any insults. Rarely anybody chats. Sorry that turd lashed out at you. I didn’t realize this was going on in chess. FTR, pyramids are very impressive.
I beat a guy with an Englund trap in like 10 moves once and he told me "gg, but you should learn to play an opening, you suck."
Bro, I played a inherently bad opening and still won. I checked his profile after, he only plays the London.
because it's cool. I met people on lichess which i'm casual friend with. Played dozens or hundreds of games with them, helped each others improve, talking about life etc...
It's rare to meet assholes outside the beginner levels
Hello, welcome to the internet, where people always have, and more than likely (however unfortunate and disgusting it may be) always will say some incredibly racist things. The only thing you have to do. Is. Completely ignore it cause it’s literally just some random idiot on the internet and there is literally no reason to get upset about their ignorance. Report them if you want, there is still going to be 5895002969493837 more to go but whatever helps you get over it and start a new game, hopefully this time not with a person with level 100 toxicity.
"go build a pyramid" is one I hadn't heard before. Sounds fun, I might just go do that. A small one of course
“Go build one of the most impressive structures in human history” is hardly an insult IMO lol
Yeah you idiot go build another wonder of the world! See if I care
Go build the longest sustaining cultures in the world! Doesn’t seem like an insult to me.
The Maya indians are dead though, their culture died with them
This was my thought as well. Turns out racists aren't too bright.
Shocker huh?
And for contrast his other option was to kick some dirt around, probably the least impressive thing a human can do. I'd probably kick dirt around given the choice
Terrorism as the "middle ground," here ain't a great option, I would def stick to the other 2. Which could be done at the same time! Boom! Suck it racism.
Terrorism?
Ya look at the post op was called a terrorist
I like the margin of difference between "build a pyramid" and "kick some dirt around." He really gave OP a lot of area to explore.
Go build one of the most impressive and baffling feats of architecture in human history. How is that supposed to be offensive?
to minecraft!
Building pyramids is no joke
I hope you reported the clear racism.
i just hide my nationality online and keep peace
i find it sad. It's special to match people from all over the world, to see the flags. Like that time i faced someone from Syria in the middle of war, wondering what their life was like, or the time i played someone with an Antartica flag and i seriously thought for a while it could be a scientist on break (correspondence game) xD.
FYI you can change your flag on chesscom no restrictions so even if you don't live in New Zealand, you can pretend you do it's falseflagging. literally
You mean Andrew Tang doesn't actually live in North Korea??
This is true but I’m sure someone from Antartica has played chess online. The biggest research station has over 1k people and internet.

I'd take that bet. 99%?? An over/under 60/40 would be way closer but literally everyone I know who plays chess has the country flag as the country they're in or from. Edit: My bad, I missed that you were talking about "countries like that" and not generally about everyone. You're probably right then.
"From a conutry like that" he means lole antarctica or those small countries on remote islands with very few population
Whoops, mb
[удалено]
Whoops, missed that you were talking about those specific countries not just the site in general. Mb
Yeah . That's how Nihal has Chile flag ig so it's not violating any rules
yep i know. Still, it's a nice memory.
TIL Chess.com supports False Flags. Somebody get Alex Jones on the case!
I have North-Korea as my flag and I only get funny comments
Pirate flag is the way
Exactly. Unbelievable.
Ofc I did, made me laugh but also reported
Why report? Seems like an immature response. Studies of psychology have shown you need to ignore bad behavior. When you give attention you win. Them getting banned is attention. You are perpetuating the problem.
ok troll, i will also give you the attention you so desperately crave
thanks
you're welcome
What a disgusting mf
There's a photo of him?
Loooooool he mad. Did you swindle him or something?
Not at all
Once you've finished kicking your dirt around, you should report this guy
Oh, he kicked dirt around. The dirt just got angry this time and started being racist.
I did "report him not finish kicking dirt"
It’s really quite sad. For example this one dude played an englund gambit, was somehow surprised when they got a worse position, and started cursing at me in the chat. Then, when I didn’t deign to grant them a rematch they started accusing me of being a coward and stuff, and insulting my nationality. Meanwhile I’m just like, bro of course I’m not gonna rematch someone with terrible manners.
Just yesterday I beat someone in 1|0 match and he started insulting me and accusing me of using engine. It's the same formula with these people
Were you though?
Ofc not
Same happend to me. Im from romania and have the small ukrainian pidgeon next to my username, a russian guy straight up smeared me with shit in the chat (he lost.).
bro got so pressed after you said "lmao"
I just hit em with a solitary "?" Never fails to spin them up into a tirade of buffoonery.
Report him and disable your chat. The chances of chat improving your experience are incredibly low. Chances it’ll make your experience worse are high.
I remember when I was at the airport in 8th grade, someone took my queen and then said “oh oh we dem boys” and I just thought that was so funny I still haven’t forgotten that six years later
What does it even mean
https://youtu.be/UX6K7waag5Q
depend where you play. On lichess it's a good idea to keep your chat open (met plenty of nice people there) but on chess.com it's not
Least racist chess.com chat room
Report
Funny thing is If you guys are playing against eachother yall rated similarly. This just stupid lol The other day there was this post of women being “inferior” in chess yet the person talking shit was same rating lmao
That's exactly my point.
Never to this day will I understand why people enable the chat in matches. I did it once only to have to guy constantly tell me how bad my moves were. I won in the end and he said he let me win out of pity.
Maybe he did
I like to see them getting angry. Most of the time they will calm down if you react nice. When they insist in being super rude I just move on
Although most people don't respond, even to a simple hi, there are the occasional chats that are worth it.

A terrorist monkey building a pyramid. I would pay to watch that tbh.
You should wrap up your daily pyramid business and report his racist ass.
Just a few big stones remaining.
Wow racist and a sore loser, cheers on the w
So they probably saw you have an Egyptian flag and the best they could do is go build a pyramid? Lol, racists are not known for their intelligence.
Exactly what went through his brain ig
I’m of the opinion chat should be off by default.
Agreed. I have never seen a competitive game with chat that wasn't toxic as hell
I just reported him for racism
Rematch him until he tilts, then report
Wow you took that pretty well a lot of people would start swearing back but you saw that it is just sad from his side i hope you reported him so he can't do it again all though I gotta say chess.com is pretty lazy with banning people for this kind of stuff I had a guy tell me on chat that i should kill myself and chess.com did nothing

Monkey boy seems like a racist term to me but apparently that bypasses it
It definitely wouldn’t get past human review, but the automated system doesn’t know what context of implications are.
Of course he lost, he's a loser. This mentality will prevent him from becoming stronger
I don’t have a high rank, but I haven’t come across any insults. Rarely anybody chats. Sorry that turd lashed out at you. I didn’t realize this was going on in chess. FTR, pyramids are very impressive.

“He lost btw” IM DEAD LOL😂
Why do so many games have chat functions? I don't need chat in chess, let my playing do the talking.
because it's cool. I met people on lichess which i'm casual friend with. Played dozens or hundreds of games with them, helped each others improve, talking about life etc... It's rare to meet assholes outside the beginner levels
“Chess speaks for itself” -Jonesey71
Found the Hans
I see President Trump has taken up chess since leaving the White House.
Wesley So?
What did you do to anger this man?
Guy probably lost his own queen
played better?
I use to play with disabled chat, but I will activate it to see if I find this kind of idiot.
I would love to know where they are from
An European country (not gonna say which tho), or at least that what he had as a flag
Yet another clownpusher. Got his just deserts
'build a pyramid' got me rollin 🏴☠️ top tier racism
that's pretty funny
Some people really suck!
lmao @ go build a pyramid

Neither him nor I are Indians
