Has nothing to do with chess 960.
The number 994.
Sort:
Fischer was born 994 years to the day after modern chess rules became standard.
Is 994 the number of posts you're going to make us suffer through before you reveal the entire thread is a hoax?

I doubt it
Is it the number of times he's come back from the dead just to point out that even he thinks you're a self-regarding jackass with no sense of humour?
Clever, but no. I'll let everybody know in one half hour.
Well? What's the answer?
Come on, you're killing me here! 
(I feel I shall be distinctly unimpressed, but please tell us anyway!!)
"994" was the name of Fischer's imaginary friend.
Fischer's 994th game, against Spassky using C95, Ruy Lopez Breyer Closed...
Almost time for you to tell. c:
I didn't think anybody cared, so I went off, and worked Tactic STRAINER, and forgot about it. Anyway, there are 994 Robert Fischers living in the US at this time.
Aha! I am actually satisfied with that. Thanks very much, Woodshover!
I didn't think ANYBODY would like it!
I actually a little disappointed but strangely curious how it is you know that.

Click onto dumb.com, and there's a place where you can put your name in, or anybody's of course, and it will tell you how many other people with that same name there are in the US. There's only one with my name, believe it or not.

I think you mean <SHIFT>. Caps lock doesn't modify the numeric keys, nor does it need to be held down (hence the "lock").

(($ is what happens when I type 994 with the shift key down.
Ah does anybody really care, i thought it was going to good.
What does the number have to do with this?
1 is too many times i came here out of curiosity.

Then stay gone.
