but it's all true - look at the guy who has a plus score against carlsen

if he started shaving his beard, he'd do better against other players as well!

when topalov realised it was the mush that gave him the advantage, he couldn't believe it either.
yes, ouch, indeed. activate that bishop, topalov! go!

On another topic, a more lively and manly default chess.com avatar was proposed.

We're not laughing at it, we're laughing with it!
Even Bronstein had his moment.

Nice! That mush definitely pushed him to the top but as per his claims, the Russians wouldn't have him there. #savetheforest #mushpush

Despite all the ROFL bravado in post #1, spassky always knew deep down something was missing in his life but just couldn't figure out what.
in fact, tal developed a nicotine addiction trying to cope
and it's not as if the other collaborators were not aware of the missing mush but they all continued hiding the fact.
who's laughing now?
bump to post
a messy entanglement could ensue, though.

here's luke laughing at fabio's reforestation attempts. that was totally uncalled for. with most of the top players now either totally clean shaven or scruffy, no one else seems to be taking the effort to bring the manly mustache back.
alekhine, to his credit, at least toyed with the idea somewhat before giving it up.
but after the russian machinery took over and effectively killed the forests, they had a good laugh about it. just see spassky rofl.
it seems modern masters have forgotten lasker's famous words
