774. You think castling queenside is when you castle with your queen
775. You start a game but immediately abort it because you're afraid of Fool's Mate
776. You insist on making a new topic like this but with 1,000,000 signs
777. You make the topic above and make it to 1,000,000 only from your posts
778. You think that if you promote a pawn to a bishop, it can move like a queen
779. You never promote a pawn to a queen because you think it loses some of its powers, such as losing the power to move diagonally
780. Your opponent won't let you promote to a king and you say, "You're violating the rules of checkers!"

Ok, I'm sorry if I haven't read everything because it is really long. 

781: You think a chess study is a library with chess books.

782: You tell everybody how you love to play the queen's gambits.

783: You think an isolated pawn is wrapped in foil.

784: You announce you are winning because you just ''won'' a knight, while the opponent has a tremendous attack. When you lose, you insist going back to the position where you just captured the knight to see where you went wrong after that. You repeat this several times.

785: You stop your clock when you have to go to the bathroom.

786: After 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 you are adamant you played the Scottish opening. Your opponent agrees, though he points out he played the Sicilian himself.

787: When your opponent points out your time ran out, you say: So what? When you hear the news, you say: ''I wasn't told that!''

788: When castling queenside you move the king 3 squares. 

789: You try to win an endgame without promoting any pawns. 

790: You play the queen out on the second move and you're proud of it.

791: You always start by bringing out the rooks in the opening. You get upset when someone plays Bxa3 or Bxh3. You proceed to double on the e-file. (This was my first opening.)
