Why Are Chess Plyers Assholes?

Why is it that this game brings out the worst in people?

I have yet to meet a friendly chess player.

Trolls and [EDIT-4K] profanity. Immaturity and rudeness is worse by far in this game than any other.

Why?

I know, and also people abandoning games, like just resign, you still lose points either way.

These people you’re talking about, hate losing it hurts their pride , that’s why they start crying like a spoiled brat , and begin to foul mouth their opponents .

For example, there are some who trashtalk the entire chess community based on a few bad examples. Imagine that.
