Behind the Avatar - IceConeDragon
Interview conducted on November 7-8, 2025.
@IceConeDragon is being interviewed.
Me: Why did you choose your username, and have you changed it before?
Ice: My username actually started out as limitless, the username was made about 5 years ago. I only played three games on my account then left it alone for 4 YEARS! Then I changed my username to TheChessnerd300 after my friend and brother kept changing my disney+ profile name to chess nerd because I liked chess. The way I got to IceConeDragon was from a drawing I made of a character who is in my bio near the bottom, who is called the IceConeDragon
Me: Why did you choose your current pfp?
Ice: well, I am a big fan of murder drones. My favourite character being N. So I put in the scene where the entry guy lets them in after N kills a bunch of robots, telling N not to do it again
Me: Do you own or have a staff position in any clubs?
Ice: I own my own club for testing, not to forget my club Lucia co. collaboration. I'm in collaboration with jetinate rn. I used to have SA in jehtt vs IceConeDragon, Used to be coordinator in writers paradise and the Pokemon fans, and am currently coordinator in Jetplane movies and jet plane movies 2.0, recovering to admin after jehtt blocked me for 3 months
Me: How did you find Chess.com social and what is your opinion on it?
Ice: well, after my awakening on chess.com after 4 years, I discovered the weird button that said social, and you know the thing about buttons... You just gotta press them. Then I got introduced to otf, blogging and so much more. I later started blogging
Ice: my opinion on social is very high. Though I have met some lets say... questionable people on social, I would stay away from them, but besides that its a fun place for everyone
Me: Do you prefer clubs or OTF, and why?
Ice: clubs. You'll just generally get more teamwork there. I feel like otf tilts into the toxic side a bit more. I just came across someone telling the other to shut up on otf
Me: *Basix spawns in*
Me: What would you say is your greatest achievement on Chess.com?
Ice: getting my blog to 1.5k views, the fact that I made a website based on my chess.com channel, or killer king even though that's pretty easy with the ladder mate Strat which many don't know about
Ice: and how is basix seeing as he has spawned in
Me: Um...IDK. Hey Basix, if you're reading this sentence please answer in the comments
Ice: lol
Me: Are there any blogs/clubs/people you would like to shoutout, and if so what/who are they?
Ice: Blogchamps - @vob96, Jetplane Movies - Jehtt, Writers paradise - @JETINATE and the Pokemon fans - @Devinski
Ice: great people btw
Me: Welcome to the rare time I don't get a shoutout XD
Me: Well, thank you for your time!
Me: Is there anything else you'd like to say?
Ice: I'd like to thank @VOB96 immensely for making me such a good blogger and you for interviewing me because I love advertisement as long as I'm the one advertising
