I personally don't like it but can not see anything wrong with it as long as it doesn't lead to harassment. If an opponent does ask you to stop, it would be only common courtesy that you do.
I leave that stuff for OTB with friends =P.
edit: I kind of read everything too fast. I enjoy chatting, but I don't like trash talking! whoops.
Chatting while playing is certainly acceptable and encouraged. Trash talk is a different matter altogether. I think chess is supposed to be a "gentleman's game" and chess players should handle their games in a sportsmanlike and graceful manner. Trash talking a complete stranger is rude and out of line: on this site you might be talking to a 6 year old, or a 75 year old with 2 PhDs - and you're just gonna shoot your mouth off at them?? In a "skittles" game against a friend, though, do whatever you want.
If it's an informal game with a friend I don't mind talking. I never like trash talk and would never knowingly get in a game with someone who carried on like that. If I were on the net with someone who started that garbage I'd cut them off immediately.
Generally when I'm playing chess I'm playing chess. I've been on the net with someone who was tryng to chat while we were playing and I was completely unaware o it. Whether they thought I was rude or not I've no idea. I only realized they were sending me IMs after the game and I looked at the chat box.
Thank you for all the input and answers..however i do think that i need to clarify what TRASH TALK is..its not trashy talking or of sexual nature. The trash talk we use in the street or chess game is just friendly like jousting. Nothing degrading or insulting just fun talking about someones game or how good yours is! its used to throw someones psych off to gain a momentum in the game. Now ofcourse when playing in touraments thats just not allowed and rightfully so. But in street chess its very acceptable!
I often trash talk my own game much more than my opponent. It's my self-deprecating nature (i.e., my low self-esteem... at least where my chess is concerned).
Incidentally, I find it hilarious to start talking trash to my friends while i'm losing. So if you are my friend, and you start beating me... watch out cuz here come the tongue-lashings!
I mean really.. whats the point of trash-talking when you are winning.
By the way.. i hate you all.
well I find that no matter what walk of life your from chess players are chess players and i think there's a little bit of trash talk in everyone. On the note about it being used against kids ( i agree with Lanceuppercut) that it is not acceptable!
I did not know i would get so many great responses, but im so glad you all are sharing your opinons with me, thank you its much appreciated!
Talking trash to your friends is expected but talking trash from the safe spot of behind your computer is dishonorable. this a game of knights and kings there is a unwritten code of ethics here from hundreds of years ago, talking trash in the game analysis, different story you get your best analysis this way, as long as it doenst involve putting people down. no name calling just something Like yeah Only a true patzer would think that was good and prove why it isnt and if you cant then you have to find something better to combat his analysis. which is why it is better to study this way. me and my friend get a little loud and raucous while playing some heated games. Then going over the game later is even better. A man that takes a move back will also pick your pocket! hahaha.....
GrimReaper I think the best part of chess is going over the game and rehashing different strategies especially with my friends. We get into heated moments at times especially when discussing the movement of Enpassant.. lol I never knew so many people's version of that particular move...but through it all we voice our opinons, and make are points..then is back to the love of playing another hard fought game..lol..I love it! We always play touch move thats the rule of the street...lol
if opp doesnt like it they can "disable chat" [after a 4th move is made :) - so if one resigns against nonchatting opps one loses points :) - until then they can directly go to the window "moves" or "details" rather than the default "chat" - or carry on sweet talk until whites 4th move is made and then do above ]
- so what's the argument about?

When I was just a little baby boy,
my momma used to tell me these crazy things
She used to tell me my daddy was an evil man,
she used to tell me he hated me
But then I got a little bit older
and I realized, she was the crazy one
But there was nothin I could do or say to try to change it
cause that's just the way she was
They said I can't rap about bein' broke no more
They ain't say I can't rap about coke no more
(AHHH!) Slut, you think I won't choke no whore
'til the vocal cords don't work in her throat no more?!
(AHHH!) These motherfuckers are thinkin, I'm playin
Thinkin I'm sayin this shit cause I'm thinkin it just to be sayin it
(AHHH!) Put your hands down bitch, I ain't gon' shoot you
I'ma pull YOU to this bullet, and put it THROUGH you
(AHHH!) Shut up slut, you're causin' too much chaos
Just bend over and take it like a slut, okay Ma?
"Oh, now he's raping his own mother, abusing a whore,
snorting coke, and we gave him the Rolling Stone cover?"
You god damn right BITCH, and now it's too late
I'm triple platinum and tragedies happened in two states
I invented violence, you vile venomous volatile bitches
vain Vicadin, vrinnn Vrinnn, VRINNN! {*chainsaw revs up*}
Texas Chainsaw, left his brains all
danglin from his neck, while his head barely hangs on
Blood, guts, guns, cuts
Knives, lives, wives, nuns, sluts
Chorus:
Bitch I'm-a kill you! You don't wanna fuck with me!
Girls neither, you ain't nuttin' but a slut to me!
Bitch I'm-a kill you! You ain't got the balls to beef
We ain't gon' never stop beefin' I don't squash the beef
You better kill me! I'm-a be another rapper dead
for poppin off at the mouth with shit I shouldn't-a said
But when they kill me I'm bringin the world with me
Bitches too! You ain't nuttin' but a girl to me
.. I said you don't, wanna fuck with Shady (cause why?)
Cause Shady, will fuckin' kill you (ah-haha)
I said you don't, wanna fuck with Shady (why?)
Cause Shady, will fuckin' kill you..
Bitch I'ma kill you! Like a murder weapon, I'm-a conceal you
in a closet with mildew, sheets, pillows and film you
Fuck with me, I been through hell, shut the hell up!
I'm tryin to develop these pictures of the Devil to sell 'em
I ain't "acid rap," but I rap on acid
Got a new blow-up doll and just had a strap-on added
WHOOPS! Is that a subliminal hint? NO!
Just criminal intent to sodomize women again
Eminem offend? NO! Eminem'll insult
And if you ever give in to him, you give him an impulse
to do it again, THEN, if he does it again
you'll probably end up jumpin' out of somethin' up on the 10th
(Ahhhhhhhh!) Bitch I'm-a kill you, I ain't done this ain't the chorus
I ain't even drug you in the woods yet to paint the forest
A bloodstain is orange after you wash it three or four times
in a tub but that's normal' ain't it Norman?
Serial killer hidin murder material
in a cereal box on top of your stereo
Here we go again, we're out of our medicine
out of our minds, and we want in yours, let us in
Chorus (first line starts "Or I'ma kill you!")
Eh-heh, know why I say these things?
Cause lady's screams keep creepin' in Shady's dreams
And the way things seem, I shouldn't have to pay these shrinks
this eighty G's a week to say the same things TWEECE!
TWICE? Whatever, I hate these things
Fuck shots! I hope the weed'll outweigh these drinks
Motherfuckers want me to come on their radio shows
just to argue with 'em cause their ratings stink?
FUCK THAT! I'll choke radio announcer to bouncer
from fat bitch to all seventy-thousand pounds of her
from principal to the student body and counselor
from in-school to before school to out of school
I don't even believe in breathin' I'm leavin air in your lungs
just to hear you keep screamin for me to ZIP it
OKAY, I'M READY TO GO PLAY
I GOT THE MACHETE FROM O.J.
I'M READY TO MAKE EVERYONE'S THROATS ACHE
You faggots keep eggin' me on
til I have you at knifepoint, then you beg me to stop?
SHUT UP! Give me your hands and feet
I said SHUT UP when I'm talkin' to you
YOU HEAR ME? ANSWER ME!
Chorus (first line starts "Or I'ma kill you!"
ninth line starts "Bitch I'ma kill you!")

i think chatting is the whole point of the site, after playing chess of course, i don't think it bothers the game, i remember that i insolted the other player maby once when i chatted, you should be carefull but without chatting people can't talk about the game and become friends, i don't think thats nice.
i'd love to play ppl who get distracted by *not* chatting - i'll do the disable-chat-after-white's-4th trick - chat them up before that :)
Depends on the game, formal games should be no talking, otherwise I see no problem.
I don't mean much disrespect, but I don't talk much when I play. I am intent on finding winning moves - I will talk some if we get to a critical part in the game, but by then my opponent shows if they are nice or not. I just don't like it when people are rude, or talk for the sake of distracting. But I will at least say hi :-). Now in correspondence, it is totally different for me, since the time frames are much longer - you don't get distracted and make a boneheaded move that way lol.
well the most important factor of talking during an online game is the fact that it is in text... you can ignore it... really being talked to by your oponent online in text is the same as them wearing a "10 things you should know about chuck norris" shirt. the words are there, and if you want to read them you can, but you are certainly not being infringed apon by someone writing text while you play since you can easily ignore it along with whatever else is happening in the place you are playing chess on the computer from, unless it makes a noise each time you get a message, then it would be anoying.
I feel you BirdBrain..I can understand that...thanks for your perspective!
Trash Talking being right or wrong is a completely subjective question, so there is no definitive answer. Even the same player may have a different take on it depending on their circumstances. Who knows, maybe I just got home from work and just want the other player to shut up. Or maybe I just finished a Venti septuple shot espresso and I think you move slower than my grandma.......the dead one. So, I'll use my pat answer in such a case as this, the inanswerable question........ 42. Is it wrong? Roll the dice.
lmao..lol..but point taken..(dude dead grandma wasn't really necessary)..lol..but point well @Munchies">made!...@Munchies
