Annoying gloating "winners"

A lot of people talk about sore losers who annoy them, but what about bad "winners"? Don't you just hate the type of player, were you are playing a good game, and then you suddenly blunder a peice (ie: leave it hanging), and then your opponent starts commentating how it's some brilliant strategy and knew you would do that all along. . . Like yeah, whatever. . .🙄

For example, one game my opponent played the typical early Qa5. A lot of players do this, I seem to have some trouble against it, although I don't know why. I think my problems with Qa5 rest with the fact I need to treat the 5th rank like some "open file" and not put peices on there. You normally don't put knights/bishops on open files, that's for rooks/queens, and I guess the Qa5 should perhabs be treated the same. The problems I often have with an early Qa5 or Qa4 for that matter, is I place a bishop/knight on the 5th/4th rank quite naturally thinking it's quite safe, and I overlook the queen tucked in it's long corner that can suddenly dine on a free undefended peice.

In no way is Qa5 "strategical" by any means, I'm not explaining phycologicly why I blunder on it often, when it's not even really a great move at all.

Anyways, in the game I downright moved a peice, like a newbie, into capture. I said "gg" and was about to resign, but before I did, my opponent commented how "Qa5 was some brilliant strategy that would of won a peice anyways." I asked him to show how he would of won a peice, BY FORCE, if I didn't blunder, he didn't supply anything, he just said, "you know I'm right", ugh, ya sure
🙄

Well, suddenly I don't feel like hiting resign anymore. The game is 3 days a move, and the position, despite myself being down a peice, is very closed up with 7 pawns on the board and the queens off. I'm thinking it will take him what? At least 60 more moves minimum to checkmate me in this position? If I use up all my time per move, that's 3 months playing a lost game. Normally I don't resort to this, but if a guy is being a jackarse bragging like he's some GM over capturing a hanging peice, then by all means, show some medicine. . .

Is peice the Canadian spelling of piece?

Hehe do what you have to do... Ya i don't appreciate it when opponents do that. I had it all worked out, hahah ya whatever. With the early queen move... before getting your bishops out try to get you knights out so if you must place a bishop on the 5th rank its protected. Also if its possible to win some tempos or the queen while developing your pieces at the same time then that would be great. They'll learn not to put their queen out there in the future.

Well, I haven't had any annoying winners, but I actually like sore losers. It lets you know that you played well and frustrated them.

Mateleous? That you by any chance....

Indeed that is Mateulose, cluttering up the forums once again w/his blathering nonsense.

I was holding out some hope that he might've gone onto better (i.e. - more productive) things but alas no.

Feh.

I haven't lost yet.

I think those that gloat about winning are no worse than those that moan continuously about losing!!!

Haven't you learnt yet, people don't want to hear your self-obsessed, pathetic, babbling in the ONLY CHESS forum.

I've got a good mind to alert all your posts until the Admins enforce your ban. Creating a second account should not be a way to avoid that! 😠

I can't stand sore losers or gloating winners. The board speaks for itself. . .

Mateulose, you were banned by the site Admins for a very good reason. The fact that you're back and posting the same old waffle in the ONLY CHESS (rather than General) forum under the user name of EXILED is the equivalent of you sticking your two fingers up at Russ. I object to it and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
