Just for fun, tell us about yourself. Give us three numbers:

How old are you?

How old do you look?

How old do you feel?

Now we won't ask you to swear to tell the truth, but make it close enough to perhaps, maybe fool somebody. Wink

I'm 24

I look like 30 (if I would shave I'd look like 15)

I feel like I have no idea how to evualuate how old I feel :)

I'll be 53 next month.

I used to look younger than that, but gray hair makes a huge difference, apparently.  Maybe 48.

I really don't know how old I feel, especially around chess; there's something very weird about picking back up with something I last did when I was 24.  Also most of my equal-rating opponents locally are around 12.

I am 16.

 

I look like I 16.

 

I don't feel 16 yet, maybe more like 14 haha.

Wow. I don't think I even know anyone who is 16.  Surprised

I played a tourney this past weekend. There was a 9 year old girl that is rated over 1900. Surprised

1. About 5 billion years old (I'm made of stardust!)

2. I look like a 16 year old human on my nose where it broke out (have acquired benzoyl peroxide, but not yet applied)

3. I feel about 5 billion years old or like a 70 year old human or if i close my eyes and feel the shape of my knee it is round like a zero but if I see a pretty girl I am 14

Yea I know about that pretty girl effect. Wink

44

30-65 (estimated by others: I have a younger looking body, since I do a lot of martial arts, but since I lost a lot of hair early, the 8-year old sun of my former trainer asked, how I like my retirement oO)

30 at the moment but 85 when I have a sour back grin.png

Wow, that's amazing!

Yea a friend of mine is rated just over 2,000. He played this girl and they played to a draw.

He said (joking) that it should be illegal for a 9 year old to be that good.

We are teasing our local 11 year old who just made master.  His last name is He, and there are two He twins (not related to him) who are in high school and also masters, so he is NM He the Third.

I have never beaten him.  But I have 1.5/4 against the 10 year old who is probably going to be a master within the year, so that's something.

We also have a 12 year old girl who tied first in our most recent tournament, knifing me in the process.  She's probably about 2050 after that one.

Due to these kids, while 1930 got me into the State Championship this year, I'd better be an expert by next year or they'll crowd me out.  The bottom rating goes up 50+ points a year lately.
