Happy to chat while playing but I hate bad losers.
Please don't look to blame anyone other than yourself if you lose.
If you lose, you made more mistakes than your opponent - that's all.
Try to be gracious in defeat.
I do and I hope I succeed.
I genuinely enjoy a good disguised combination whether by me or against me.
Chess is a game with beauty to it but you only see that beauty if you enjoy playing it.
When it begins to get ugly, I stop playing for a while.
At the end of the day, it is, after all, only a game.
