Cyber Chess Etiquette: GG

After my Tandoori chicken dinner I headed for the cyber cafe for a last chance to improve my rating. It IS the last day of the October.

My opponent username was Anima Sana from China.

I thought it was common online etiquette to say “Good Game” after a game if I thought it was a good game.

For those who are not familiar gg=”Good Game”

This dialog right after I won Anima Sana(China) in WorldChessNetwork.com
I am in Blue
Anima Sana is in Red

gilachess is rated 1475 (Bullet).
Anima Sana is rated 1600 (Bullet).

GilaChess : gg
Anima Sana:THE PREVIOUS WAS NOT GOOD ?????”??
GilaChess : oh ok
GilaChess :sorry

Anima Sana:YOU DID NOT SAY ANYTHING
Anima Sana:NO SWORRY
Anima Sana:GO FISHING
Anima Sana:SHUT U FOR EVERP

The board is set up but Anima refuses to move..

GilaChess: ok thanks
GilaChess: err. you don’t want to play?
GilaChess: you are too strong
GilaChess: ggs
GilaChess: thanks

Anima Sana:FOR YOUR FAULT
Anima Sana:SAY SORRY

GilaChess: sorry

Anima Sana:OK ACCEPTED
Anima Sana:BUT YOU DO NOT SAY GG
Anima Sana:NEVER AGAIN
Anima Sana:OK ??????

GilaChess: Ok

LET’S GO
Game continues..

A few games later …

gilachess is rated 1531 (Bullet).
Anima Sana is rated 1544 (Bullet).

Needless to say I did not “say” anything after the game except to put on wide silly grin on my face - staring at the monitor.

Anima Sana, if you are reading this.. GOOD GAMES !! or ggs
