Chess Etiquette | Chess Video Lecture | Learn to Play Chess: From a Novice to a Fierce Competitor - Hobbies

hi this is coach Jeremy I'm here to talk
about chess etiquette now there's
different types of chess environments I
guess you could say if you're playing
for money in the park maybe that's a
little different than being in a
scholastic chess tournament if you're
playing online maybe that's also a
little bit different but in general it's
good to be nice when you play chess
don't rub it in your opponent's face if
you win the game
maybe politely suggest where your
opponent went wrong and discussed the
game with your opponent in a polite
cordial manner it's also good to abide
by the same standards that you expect
from your opponent for example don't
insist on touch move for your opponent
if you're not going to abide by touch
move yourself or maybe in a casual game
it's alright that both players take back
the moves that's something that would be
agreed upon by the two players but in
general be fair be courteous and you
know if you're joking around with your
friends maybe a little trash talk is
okay but that's not recommended when
you're playing somebody for the first
time and not recommended when you're
playing in a tournament environment if
you really want to think about chess
etiquette in all of its aspects
I recommend the morals of chess by
Benjamin Franklin actually he goes over
in great detail in stellar accuracy
exactly what a good chess competitor
should do in the way of advocate
