I guess I can see that perspective yeah. Certainly there is no speaking during the game, since it's a game of concentration after all. And top players might not do this, but most everyone else does: we discuss the games with the opponent after the game. Club nights tend to be less formal; usually blitz will be played, banter and trashtalking during the game is common. But yeah I guess it must look like we all hate eachother and never speak to eachother, from the outside. That's funny.
