First of all if the has been previously discussed let me know.
If you think it is rude regardless of what you say let me know. Also I am interested in examples of things I might say that might be considered rude. And things that have been said that are ok.

I speak to my opponent at ever move, I say things like e4,0-0,Nc6 and of course my favorite ++

Consider Q&K vs k and p at f2
3k4/2p2Q2/8/3K4/8/8/8/8 w
White has King at e4 and Q at c2
Black has king at e1 and pawn at f2
I am white I play 43. Ke3 expecting 43. ... f1=Q
44. Qd2# and say, "I learned this trick from Dvoretsky's endgame manual"
My opponent plays 43. ... f1=N
I say, "I was not expecting a knight"
Were these comments rude?

If you play an OTB game against a friend - no clock, no tournament, just a game with a friend - don't you talk during the game? Even make a comment about a move? Some of us develop friendships here at Queen Alice, even if we'll never physically meet our "friend". When playing with a friend, I like to talk. Not constant chatter, but talk. That's probably the main thing I never liked about Microsoft's chess site - the only comments available were canned. Takes a lot out of the game, in my opinion.

I have sometimes felt bad if I made a comment about the game that turned out not to be true. Saying "gg" for example when you think you have won and your opponent proves you wrong can be, well....  let's just say you had better be 100% sure. Or if you say good move and then blow him away with your next move.  It can send the wrong message. I like to wait until it's over to discuss.

aknightout: Thankyou
Everyone:
One purpose of this topic is to create a set of examples that my opponents can read and comment on. They could say I agree with the 20th, 32nd and 61st reply but disagree with the others. I can then gauge what I say by my opponents reaction to this topic and all the reply's
