Who, In your opinion, are the most famous people on chess.com?

Sort:
Pulpofeira

I never ignore you, Benzo, but to be fair, when you tell us about your life, I remain speechless...

Benzodiazepine

Thanks, Pulpo!

Hmm, you're not the only one. In psychiatry report, when they write about my life they just say "difficult/tough biography".

Just an observation -
I've been around here a long time and either know or have seen many, many people on these forums.  Some people come, post a lot, then disappear while others have posted less but more consistantly over many years.  People here now often only know those who have posted a lot in the past several months to a year.  People I'd consider "famous" probably wouldn't even be recognized by 75% of the people posting here today. . . . not a bad thing, but there is an element of perspective that comes into play.

Yeah, would bet OP recognizes close to zero of these Tongue Out

In no particular order, and I feel like I'm forgetting at least a few.

Sorry, what was your name before besttrollhere?

Mostly tried to remember people who aren't as active these days... so if I left you out, sorry!  I'm sure I also forgot people... the list was longer than I expected.

Now that you mention them, I haven't seen goldendog, TheGrobe or andyclifton in a while (along with a few others on that list). Did they leave these forums?
