As it necessary? 👀are people no longer playing for the sake of tactic and strategy? Are they into playing perfect moves only until they win? I’m asking because I have received almost 17 resigns this week from fellow random chess players.

Chess is like any other multiplayer game in one regard. Anonymous match ups turn people into assholes. Resigning at the drop of a hat isn’t too terrible, but it’s just something you wouldn’t do if you were playing a friendly game in person.
I play Stockfish exclusively now, fuck a rating, because for the brief time I was playing real people it seemed like every other match I’d get someone yelling in the chat, asking for moves back when they blunder, or just resigning when it started going against them. Especially with time pressure it’s just not worth it when you have an infinitely patient, world class chess opponent on call 24/7.
