Chess pet peeves
Sort:
Vinyl boards that won't lie flat. Especially coupled with pure black and white pieces on a board that has pure black and white squares. Even worse when the pieces are so enormous they barely fit inside the squares. Also stupid analog clocks that tick so loudly you can hear them all the way across the room.
This set is a nightmare:
I can't stand people who DON'T USE turn signals. Oh! I'm sorry, wrong thread.

I got the middle finger from some tourist on the road yesterday....altho' I did turn into him as he was crossing the street (he was walking so fast !). Some car rental co's. have removed their horns....cuz' it angers the islanders.
When you play as white and black just copies you move for move
opponents who. don't make the moves I planned on them making
Really dirty chess pieces, with broken pieces, and pieces from mismatched sets. A complete new decent chess set is pretty cheap, people!
Patzers who try to play the scholar's mate against 1.d4
When players continue to try to force you to trade queens from the beginning of the game.
I suppose you just schooled me by topping my post in the necessity department! 🥴

To be fair... chess is a 1400 year old game. I suppose seven years or so is no big deal.

Ha! Unless you have an itch. Then seven years seems like an eternity. Now if you’re itching for a game of chess on an uneven vinyl board with black and white squares and black and white pieces…

When people demand a rematch and start spamming insults after the game when you decline
opponents who spam the 'offer a draw' button when they are completely losing
