The most pretentious chess player ever.

#1
I have found him folks. David Milliern. This guy started playing chess later on in life and thinks he will become a titled player. His current USCF is 1900.

Read his chess.com about me. It's enough to make you sick.

" I have a sort of chess persona that comes out on the board. I am psychologically violent, and I play passionately; yet I play with calculation, and I am probably best at the endgame. If you like open games, then I'd love to have shootouts with you. If you like playing closed positions, then I will destroy your position with a sacrifice --it may be a pawn, it may be a piece, it may be a queen, but I am coming after you, because I know that the psychology of such people is fear, fear of being attacked by a brute, and I'm one of them. Play positionally, and I will take it as an invitation to destroy, pillage, maim, and plunder --no mercy but that which pain will hath wrought. I do not accept draws, and I attack more confidently and with madness in the face of the cowardly act of so offering. However, if I offer a draw, know that you are probably won, and I am just mitigating losses...though I rarely do this, even after losing a piece; I just attack harder."

Without commenting this specific case I also noticed there are many chess players who share that violent attitude. I remember watching an interview on TV where Bobby Fischer said something about chess being all about "destroying the opponent's ego". I've never understood why some players have to be so aggressive. Chess is, in the first place, a wonderful game that should be all about fun and any opponent should be regarded as a friend who shares our interest in the game. The only challenge underlying chess is against our own limits and any opponent may help us to improve our playing skills. A defeat is, in fact, a good chance to meditate and correct our mistakes so that we won't repeat them in future. Chess has nothing to do with destruction, pillage, plunder or violence. It's a wonderful game. Let's just play and enjoy.

What makes me "sick" is members who name and shame, who "copy" other members user name and who troll about making useless and mocking threads.

BeepBeepImaJeep is a long time well respected member here who is the #1 rated blitz player.

You are BeepBeepIma747 at chess.com who also makes these unnecessary "mocking", naming and shaming threads.

747 on chess.com makes me sick as hell.
He always invents " best openings. " which are trashy as hell ( is hell trashy ? ).
Once he said to an IM:

What do you know ? You're only an IM.

I'll die from anger probably.

...LOL?!

"BeepBeepImaJeep is a long time well respected member here who is the #1 rated blitz player" "Blahblahblah mocking names"

#1. This guy does not own beepbeepimajeep. That 'meme' or name has been around...for AGES both online and iRL.
It stems from WWII. Red Skelton used it all the time. (Comedian from the 50s for the youngins)
And online, sheesh; its been around since the beginning. Especially in gaming. Eve Online had a popular meme; and lots of em in Counterstrike (Original 1999)

#2. Have you ever played him. Have you ever spoken to him once. Why do you respect him? Atrophied was a well known and respected player here, and we know how that turned out. NOT Saying that guy is anything like that; but you dont know whats going on behind anyones computer screen except your own.

Sorry, that comment just irked me.

OPs Point:

Sounds like a bunch of jazz. Nothin really wrong with self confidence; in fact, I'd say its a good thing. Reading it would make you want to destroy him (as a potential opponent) so might be designed to throw someone off balance. Might be reading into it. But it was kinda a fun read.
