Chess players are such thugs.

Before we know it, we are going to hear that Bautista was cursing in Spanish at the umpire in tonight’s Royals and Blue Jays game. The horror.

I was a high school chess coach in Arizona for 6 years. I cannot recall a single instance of an outburst like this in a tournament.

My wife would get the “willies” she happened to attend the beginning of a round. A whole cafeteria full of high school players and while you waited for the tournament director to announce the start of play, you could literally hear a pin drop. Then dozens of clocks would be snapped to start them.

I would usually get a condescending and dismissive "Blitz isn't real chess" after beating a higher ranked player. I think I would have preferred a swear word.

In fairness Blitz does require a different skill set.

I play a fair game of chess, I was raised with it.

I had the opportunity one time to play someone really, really good. Not a grandmaster, but up there.

It’s quite humbling to be told what you’re trying to accomplish, while you’re trying to accomplish it, while your efforts are being negated and critiqued.

Casually, between sips of beer.

LOL!

“It is reasonably unusual. It is certainly a breach of how one should behave,”

The writer should have been in attendance at our usual senior pick-up softball game this morning if he wanted to see a breach in civility and language..............LOL!
