So, you two set up a date then. Roll eyes.
Maybe he'll come back if you tell him you suck at Hungry Hungry Hippos.
This comment prompted me to do a quick Google search:

I hear the prize money is better too.
Money? I'm in it for the marbles.

I'm in it for the titles. I scored six in my first game and now go by the moniker HMPrawnEatsPrawn.
Well I will go by the moniker BGMConquistador.

Big Great Mess?
Well I will go by the moniker BGMConquistador.
I beg your pardon?
I was under the impression that the proper term was GBM (player name)
Bongcloud Grandmaster doesn't make any sense.
Grand Bongcloudmaster does.
HMPrawnEatsPrawn doesn't work either. It should be HHMPrawnEatsPrawn (Hungryhipposmaster). And 6 is not that impressive-I scored 69 over 10 games.
Well I will go by the moniker BGMConquistador.

Then you've successfully made the transition from HM (Hippo Master) to GHM (Grand Hippo Master). I applaud your efforts and look forward to hearing more of your exceptional exploits.
Shouldn't it be HHHMPrawnEatsPrawn?

That would be silly.
Perhaps when a new guy tells you he's pretty good at chess, he's really saying, 'I think you're cute, so don't get too upset when I beat you in 10 moves.'
It'd be funny if, next time, your friends shut up and let you play, if nothing else than to see the look on the guy's face when he discovers you can actually play. :)
A close friend plays facile games like chess occasionally and more complex strategy games often. If I recall her ego-smashing tactics correctly, one of them goes like this: (1) set up a smother mate, (2) one move before the coup-de-grace innocently ask "Remind me again how the horsie-thing moves?", and (3) drop the bomb and pretend not to notice that it's checkmate.
