Boxing like eating all those noodles sold in square boxes?

[@silverlion2610]

How do I deal with an unsportsmanlike player at chess club? There's a very unsportsmanlike player at our club who constantly taunts and belittles everyone else. Whenever you make a mistake he yells out "blunder!" or "inaccuracy!" … "better move was..." and then says the engine move or what he thinks the engine move is. He also says what he thinks the engine +- is. He plays the kings gambit as much as he can and knows like 30 moves deep into every variation. If you respond something other than e5 to 1.e4 he just laughs and calls you a patzer. He's also OBSESSED with Hikaru Nakamura. He talks about him all the time and shows everyone a picture of him with Hikaru (Its really blurry so its hard to tell if its even him). He's constantly talking about him as if he's a close friend even though he only (maybe?) met him one time. Its bordering on creepy and makes everyone uncomfortable. He calls him "Hikaru-San" which I think is part of his obsession with Japanese culture. He also brings japanese noodles/Ramen to the club every day and will spend like 5-10 minute eating them during his turn just to taunt you. Meanwhile he will be mumbling words in japanese. We tried approaching about his conduct but he just did some weird anime villain laugh, yelled something in Japanese, then ran off to challenge another person to a blitz match. We obviously don't want to tell him not to come but it feels like his presence is deterring new people from joining and its also extremely exhausting.

[@gamer9smith]

Give him a warning and then kick him out if he keeps it up

[@aaronfalcon3152]

Is this a copypasta or legitimately a question?

[@_Thorondor]

This is just an hilarious image

[@lightnessoftouch]

It sounds like there is no merit to keeping him in the club. From your information it seems like he has a negative influence on the club members and potential club members. If I were you I would immediately kick him out. That said, are you sure you explicitly sat down and talked to him about his actions? Something like "You behaviours (specifics specifics specifics) are making club members very uncomfortable. If you keep doing this you will be kicked out of the club." Make sure he hears it loud and clear, if he tries to run off, stop him and make him listen.

In my opinion, I think Ding Liren is currently the second-best player right now. I also think he's underrated as well compared to the other top players. I would love to see a series match between these two in classical though I don't think that will happen anytime.

[@chiefmasterification]

@@colegieseking5136 Nah, Ding take the cake for second best player in classical no cap. He always play for the win in all time format either with black or white. Alireza needs to prove himself by playing with top dogs in classical instead of 2700s.

realized Qb4 was losing before levy even mentioned it, because of Knight takes on A5, removing the defender of the queen, if pawn takes back on A5, Rb3 wins the black queen. big brain. reason why Kna5 works is because its check, and even if he takes it with his queen, Pawn B4 traps the queen.
