Automatic courtesy

Ok.

It works only in standard chess. Why @thibault ?
EDIT: This script is not working in variants 🤔
EDIT: Now it is working in variants thx

If the response is scripted, and you've got translations contributed, why not write -
{gg in sender's chosen language} ({gg in receiver's chosen language}) or omit the second if they speak the same language?

It's culturally imperialist to force the English on people. I know you're french, but in the USA, racists tell Mexicans "This is America, speak English".

cool! thanks

This notion that saying "Good game" after winning is offensive really is a matter of opinion and/or context. For my money, a game can be good or bad irrespective of who won. It's possible to feel that you lost a good game. If you take "good game" to be a meaningful statement about the quality of the game, then you should say it if you think the game was high quality, and omit it if you don't think so. The quality of a game doesn't change depending on which player was on the winning side.

Conversely, if you consider the phrase "Good game" a mere pleasantry which you say as a matter of course, it really doesn't carry such a weight of meaning that it should offend anyone any more than "Good evening".

HOWEVER, given that you do consider the phrase likely to be offensive if said by the winner, Thibault, it would make sense to offer the GG macro only to the loser of a game, just as you've done with this new automated feature.

What if I don't want to say "Good game, well played" upon losing?
Don't enable the setting.

I don't understand the logic...

I like the idea but I really don't like you are only meant to say gg if you lost. I say gg if it was an interesting game no matter who lost or won. Making lichess a better place this way by automatic machine responses? Idk... I strongly agree wih @PunicaGranatum you should only say gg if you mean it.

I’ve been playing OTB competitive chess for years, and certainly in my culture saying ‘Good game’ simply means ‘That was a good game’. We don’t say it after every game, we say it when the game was particularly high quality, particularly interesting or particularly enjoyable. i.e. ‘That was a good one!’

As experienced chess players we know all too well that whether we won, lost or drew often there were plenty of mistakes by both sides, and not every game can be called good.

If you want to compliment your opponent then it’s ‘Well played’ or something along those lines , not ‘Good game’. And preferably followed up with more specific praise of their play.

Also if you are the stronger player, it is perfectly ok and considerate to compliment your opponent on putting up a good fight even though they lost. (And if you say the game was a good one, you are implicitly saying their contribution was good also.)

But only say nice things about the game or the opponent”s play if you believe what you’re saying They’re not an idiot and telling they played well when they know they didn’t is going to sound insincere at best.

Maybe these things are not the same in your culture, but in that case you need to be aware that not everyone in the world has the same social norms as you do.

I'm all for "Good Game" and "Well Played" but, frankly, I'm old school and think that those niceties should be written by the losing player instead of having it be a robo-congrats from one click. It's kind of like everyone saying "Have a nice day" when they don't really give a damn about how your day plays out.

I'm the guy who, when he had chat turned on, got ONE "Good Game" in 2000 games before turning chat off. Single-click "good manners" are so perfunctory that I don't see the point.
