My favorite thing to do on playchess.com is to trick people. This is how I do it: I invite someone to play a 1 sec/move game. I always play 1. g4. After that (they always play e5) I play 2. f3. Here's the tricky part: after doing it 3 times they automatically play Qh4, so the fourth game we play I play 2. h4! And you guessed it, they play Qh4. It's so entertaining to watch high-rated players do this, and it gives me a load of free points. I usually, however wind up losing anyways because I do random premoves. The last game I just played was also really entertaining...

I had a pawn on the 5th rank and he had a queen. it was going to be checkmate in a few moves. I needed to find a way to take some time off... So I offered a draw, and won the next second! It was awesome, this is why I play chess. I love it when people use premove. All I have to do is attack something and after they move take it for free.

Also, after I got a decent rating (~1800) I play a ~1000 rated player. I play until they get about 1500 points, boost my rating again and do it again. I usually just resign on the first move. And afterwards they say "thank you"! I love it! It's as if these people play chess to get points!

Well, I for one think that that Fool's Mate trick is pretty damn funny.

You must be a real loser if winning only 1 out of 4 games gives you loads of free points. (Points which you claim to despise.)

when your rating is 800, you cant lose points very easily, but if you win you get free points. i never said i despise points, i just dont care for them, except to rate my chess, thats what theyre for, nothing more.

I guess the only difference is im not quite much of a hero. well today i got to play an internation master... I played nf3 g3 bg2 00 h3 kh2 b3 nc3 bb2 and he moved his pawns to d4 and e4 taking all my pieces. I refused to capture any of his pieces, and if forced to, i just resigned. at first he just checkmated me in about 10 seconds, and i offered him another game and surprisingly he took it, about the same thing happened...

then to my delight he started offering me games! he noticed i didnt capture anything so he played as if it were suicide chess... capturing anything he can. he captured every last piece and got three queens, forced me to take one and the n mated me. in total we played 8 games. it was really funny watching an internation master sacrificing his queen for a pawn, taking every last piece before checkmating and even the fact that he played me 8 games.
