I have a question. After a game in blitz there's the customary gg. Most
members (me included) type this whether we win or lose, but come to
think of it, isn't it kinda condescending when you win a game and tell your
opponent (s)he did a good game? Shouldn't it be ys, instead?

mwa, it could have still been a good game, where the chances where the same for a long time but you júst managed to get the win anyway. in this case you can still mention that your opponent played a good game eventho he/she lost.

I think saying something like gg at the end also means you just enjoyed playing the game.
