Why did you choose the username you have?

Sort:
MSC157

MSC is abbrevation for Formula 1 driver Michael Schumacher, my role model in childhood. 157 means... Huh, 1 for win, 7 for 7 WDC titles and 5... 5 was actually on MSC's car in 2006 when I went to Germany to watch F1.

But, 5 was the bib number Mikaela Shiffrin (skier) wore when she won World Slalom Champion title and globe, either.

KillTheHorsie

"Why didn't you kill the horsie?" - some guy doing a post-mortem with his opponent at a chess club in Muskogee, Oklahoma, U.S.A.  And, no, Merle Haggard was not there that evening.

My name is Walton... James Walton.

"101" means I will school you. This is also my xbox live username.

VULPES_VULPES

My favourite animal, the common red fox.

IoftheHungarianTiger

I wanted a username to reflect homage to my favorite player, Judit Polgar from Hungary.  She's also been described as a tiger at the chessboard because of her attacking style, and somewhere I came up with the idea of using the song title "Eye of the Tiger" as a framework for the name.

However, EyeoftheHungarianTiger was two characters too long for a chess.com moniker, so after some thought I solved the solution with the current username you see now :)

cortman

I use this name everywhere online. Inspired by Richard Mathewson's I am Legend.

I didn't choose it.  It chose me.

DrSpudnik

An homage to the classic Mr Potatohead, but then I couldn't find a decent picture of one for an avatar.

It came to you inexplicably while you were hanging upside-down in the attic.

iMacChess

I have an iMac and I play Chess. iMacChess...

electricpawn

electricpawn contains my initials, and I thought it sounded kind of psychadelic. I also like the image of lightening bolts shooting out of a pawn's head. You'll be afraid to take it, right?

DrSpudnik

I've been zapped by pawns before!
