"The Greek Gift" is a ruse in chess, usually involving a bishop sacrifice for the King Rook Pawn in front of the castled King.
It refers to the legend of the Trojan Horse

Yeah the formatting your profile is an old problem...you just have to use ......... dots for line breaks ....even the space [-bar] is disabled......
I consider myself to be a stingy penny-pincher for not paying chess.com for all their great work, yet. The link prohibition is just a way for them to remind me how much I've stiffed them so far.
Spellcheckers have ruined my mobile experience at times - for example Facebook has a built-in spell-checker that gets in a war with my mobile phone's spell-checker and together they end up making the site unusable, until I fix the sttings somehow.
