      As a Starcraft player since 1998, saying “gg” after you lost was common etiquette. Everyone said gg to signal you gave up and was universally seen as rude to leave without saying gg in Starcraft. I find it interesting the rise in popularity of the phrase gg.

But at this rating level, 500 points doesn't make as much of a diference as in 1200 level, for example. A 1200 has more probability of winning against a 1100 than a 2600 against a 2500.

    Finally a good line against the French for white! Looking on the Lichess database, it seems like a pretty rare line too, so unlikely that most opponents will see it. Very healthy win rate for white, and the engine says only like -0.2 or so, meaning there is good compensation for the pawn.
