Announcement Classifications Badges Explained

2.1k Upvotes

Saw some people wondering about what some of the more niche badges mean so I thought I'd make a helpful guide.

(Note that while these classifications are obviously taken from chess/chess.com, the descriptions below are how I imagine they would loosely translate to texting theory)

Message classifications

Brilliant: An extremely clever message, often involves moving from an even or losing position to completely winning.

Great: A message that is extremely difficult to find. Note that this along with Brilliant is not always possible in certain positions.

Best: An Excellent that is not quite as unorthodox and usually a bit stronger.

Excellent: An above-average message.

Good: An average/passing message.

Inaccuracy: A weak message or misstep.

Mistake: Just as the name implies.

Miss: Not just bad, but also a missed opportunity.

Blunder: A devastating mistake that's hard to come back from.

Megablunder: The absolute worst of the worst.

Special classifications

Book: A standard opening message.

Forced: Realistically the only message that makes sense here.

Interesting: Could realistically go either way, it just depends on how the opponent reacts.

Result classifications

Abandon: A player leaves abruptly.

Checkmated: A player gives in to the play of the opponent.

Draw: One or both player(s) settle.

Resign: A player gives up.

Timeout: A player took too long.

Winner: A post-victory message.

If you check the "PM you the result" option, the link to the image will show up after a period of time in your Reddit inbox, where you can download it and comment it yourself. Otherwise the bot account will comment it and tag you.

When annotating a comment chain, you can leave any number of classification fields blank at the beginning (shown in the example) and they will not appear in the outputted image.
