I have yet to experience that even when playing against a fide master, but talking at the board is bad form. They do however know their way in the opening and it usually ends in disaster sooner or later

That move’s worth about a million bucks.
I find it’s best to play ridiculous moves then that don’t show up in any books, you may end up in a strategically worse position but they have to work for their win now instead of just doing memorised plays. It’s better to burn out, than to fade away!

Heterodox style. It’s the only fun way to play left

But that is my favorite way to play chess!
I just haven’t actually read any books and an making up the names of moves. I hope my wife hasn’t caught on (she caught on the first time didn’t she)
