then you have to come stand outside my door until i let you in. no food, nothing. i will insult you every day. eventually i might let you in, but then i will burn your hand with lye (used to make soap). then i will ask you to destroy the world's financial institutions. then you will realize that you are actually me.

 That might have happened to me once... only, I also started a club where people could fight each other. Don't remember what the club was called though

Don't despair--this is but another test. In days of yore, before initiates could enter a Zen temple, they had to wait at the gate for a day, a week, or more to prove their dedication. Some still practice it to this day, as does chess.com HQ. Once Erik finally admits you, you'll find couches, snack machines, and soda machines--you'll never have to leave. Which is just as well, since getting readmitted is even harder.

I'm lazy and don't like work. Can I sleep in your basement and eat out your bin? How do I qualify?

sure. here are 5 key questions to consider:

how many pushups can you do in 60 seconds?what are you more afraid of: a chimpanzee with a knife, or a 2-legged tiger?if your grandmother were cheating on her taxes, would you report her?if asked to go undercover, how many languages can you speak like a native, and how many days could you survive on the ground with $11 in cash?what would you do if somebody spit in your face (assuming none actually got inside your eyeball - if the spit touches your eyeball that is a separate question)?

 i've a couple deeper questions than the one posted above. 1. can you go public with chess.com and put it on the NYSX or sumthin? i've managed to save up like 40 bucks!!! over the past three years so..2. can you make it so there's 79 shares at $1 a pop so i can buy 40 of'em and be majority share-holder?

 More importantly.  If Tyler Durden played himself in chess, who would win?

dpg1232:  are you working for free?  since you play here for free - would you work for free????

 

Erik might hire you if you work for free -   just a thought.....

most answers to the application form remind me of chuck norris,
what would he do?

- Infinite, I push up faster than time
- Both are equally scared of me
- No, But I would report her on chess.com for cheating
- I don't talk, I kick them till they understand
- Tell the spit to turn to the one spitting
