I would like to challenge someone from this forum, someone who likes to talk a lot during games.
No n00bs or patzers.
3 day timeout, 7 day timebank; but this is negotiable.

Anyone?

Its also an english word, it would appear derived from something German (as you say).

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/patzer

–noun a casual, amateurish chess player.

n. Slang
A poor or amateurish chess player.

[Probably from German, bungler, from patzen, to bungle.]

Yes, I know it's used in English, I just meant that it's originally German. The English-German online dictionary I use, dict.leo.org, lists it both as an English and as a German word:

English - German
patzer -dilettantischer Schachspieler
blooper [coll.] -der Patzer
muff [sport.] -der Patzer
goof-up [sl.] -der Patzer

I like to shout at my opponents, using nothing but capital letters, followed by an impossibly long string of exclamation points.

My in-game communications are peppered with random insults, sexual innuendo and requests to borrow large sums of money.
