in a sense it's good he still got to play chess. but playing chess with someone in real life is so much more than just playing chess right? seeing each other, talking face to face, physical presence in the same space, etc. you can form human connections you wouldn't be able to form playing online. so although the immediate need of playing chess is met, the emotional need of human connection is not. and it can be hard to realize this is what's happening, because these two were always present at the same time until the internet came along.
more important the same thing is happening everywhere. having an honest face to face conversation is being substituted with shouting at each other online, enjoying time with friends is being substituted with parasocial relationships with streamers. and all this is having a detrimental effect on our society.
Are you kidding ??? What the **** are you talking about man ? You are a biggest looser i ever seen in my life ! You was doing PIPI in your pampers when i was beating players much more stronger then you! You are not proffesional, because proffesionals knew how to lose and congratulate opponents, you are like a girl crying after i beat you! Be brave, be honest to yourself and stop this trush talkings!!! Everybody know that i am very good blitz player, i can win anyone in the world in single game! And "w"esley "s"o is nobody for me, just a player who are crying every single time when loosing, ( remember what you say about Firouzja ) !!! Stop playing with my name, i deserve to have a good name during whole my chess carrier, I am Officially inviting you to OTB blitz match with the Prize fund! Both of us will invest 5000$ and winner takes it all!
I suggest all other people who's intrested in this situation, just take a look at my results in 2016 and 2017 Blitz World championships, and that should be enough... No need to listen for every crying babe, Tigran Petrosyan is always play Fair ! And if someone will continue Officially talk about me like that, we will meet in Court! God bless with true! True will never die ! Liers will kicked off...

Maybe the friend he usually plays with is out of town, so they're playing together online

He’s getting in a few easy online wins before some 80-year-old man comes and whoops his ass.

Or 20s woman, the chess community is surprisingly diverse 😉

He's hoping that 12 year old kid shows up so he can get a rematch.

Could also be so highly habituated to playing at the park that it's become integral to his mental game.

An online opponent is better than an in person opponent who didn’t show up.

Practicing or studying moves. Chess people are a different breed.

Different breed indeed.
When you're good at chess, it means you're good at strategy and thinking ahead.
When you're great at chess, it means you're really good at chess specifically.

When you’re great you’re great at remembering moves.

I get the same vibe from upper-level chess as upper level Magic: it's less about creativity and strategy and more about memorizing the meta.
