A while back, an unsolicited game with 1. e4 appeared in my inbox from a provisionally-rated player. Why he chose me, I don't know, but as it was the weekend, I thought "whatever" and replied with 1....c5. His reply, 2. Bb4 had me rather stumped. What the **** was he playing at? While I pondered this (all of 3 minutes) I received no fewer than FOUR pm's from this guy, the first of which said "If you don't move soon, I am going." My instinct was to delete the game, but my better nature prevailed and I continued. After every move, he messaged me (not in the message panel, but a pm) urging me "faster! faster!" &c., like some bored girl in a 1970's grumble-flick. After the seventh move, and the umpteenth message of this type, I lost patience and messaged him: "OK, if I play faster, will you play any better?" "Sure!" came a message by return. After the game was over (very soon!) he started a rematch, which I deleted immediately. Then I received a pm saying: "If you are humman bieng [sic] you play me again. Youll [sic] see."
O tempora, o mores!!
Have a look at this game if you all want a damnably good laugh!
