Famous person i guess? It's actually a videogame character from Final Fantasy VI

None of the above, I guess lol

None of the above!!!

This avatar represents my nation!!!

My dog!!!

haha, there really should be an option for the many people on chess.com who fall into the category of "portrait photo of someone else"

A statue counts as a recognisable object, right?

I picked portrait photo, since it is my real brain.

Poll needs more options.

I mean, what should I have voted??

Portrait photo of myself.

EDIT: Now I've changed it, but it was a distorted baby. =D

an object, I think.... a dragon!

Abstract image ?

Mine was a famous person (Dany Heatley), so thats what i voted but im not sure what my new one ranks as,.

Me

Hmm - well, I suppose a koala hardly qualifies as a famous person - but it seemed to be the best reply !

Mine is a picture from Alekhine

The closest accurate vote for me was "famous person", when in fact my avatar is the 1960s pill-popping cartoon superhero Underdog (the walls are closing in on him in the above image).  

For those of you who love esoteric trivia, his girlfriend's name was Polly Purebred.

I think that a chess piece is a recognisable object...especially on a chess website!

i dont have one, but nine would be spongebob...which is a recognizible object, considering that everyone watches it!!!

album cover?

None of the above! My avatar is a picture of my cat Dexter, looking confident after playing the Sicilian defense. Here's a larger, better looking b/w version of the picture: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ferdinand1977/3430853123/

I am supposing that most people can recognise what my Picture stands for, but if not I'll tell you. It reps the Brazilian national soccer team.

Recognisable object

Well I have a photo of myself, but you can't really see me because I am sitting in a kayak in the Hudson River.... So it is a photo of myself, but not really a portrait..... Because of this I couldn't vote..

"G!"

Where is the option for "semi-famous person that represents the joke that you used in selecting your name"?

I am an abstract image.

Mines bobby fischer, but i dont know how to make the picture negative because bobby fischer is the exact opposite of me

Mine is a cat I got off Google. I liked his expression.

mine is my dog

mine is a dog aswell but becuase my name is doggywuff i use a dog

I currently use a photo of myself.  I kind of wish everyone else did too.  I guess I just would like to be able to have a mental picture of who it was I was playing against and perhaps chatting with.
