Oh, shut up!

Just kidding. 

 

You hear rock music in a pair of headphones and you play the best move in every position.

You can beat Houdini blindfolded.

After you hit the start button against Houdini 2.0, the system immediately offers you a draw.

You can play 20 moves of the Ruy Lopez in a coma.

You can win a bullet game while having an argument with your wife.

You can see 5 moves ahead of Chuck Norris, who is always 4 moves ahead.

You read a book of opening variations without a board as if it were a friggin novel.

If you are good at "playing" with your budz,while drinking, you should have learned by now that you can have a magic bishop... a preferred secret weapon of really hard to beat chess players...

You win right after drinking tequila and root beer.

When the music is cranked up, you can win a bullet game. 

Whenever you play Rybka, the system automatically resigns.

Rybka, Deep Fritz, and Houdini's analyzers don't see any mistakes in 3 bullet games played at the same time. 

When you play against Arena 3.0, the system calls all the computers to play with it.

You have never won a tournament...

Because the moment that the other players hear you've entered, they immediately abandon it for fear of losing rating points. 

Avatar of fabelhaft

Your losses are never caused by your opponents being better, just by their being worse at saving preparation.

Avatar of helltank

Once, it was discovered by seven simultaneous super-GM chess engines with supercomputer databases that there just may be a semi-forced dubious line for your opponent that would allow him to place mild pressure on a useless pawn 60 moves ahead, but only in exchange for you getting compensation. 

It is the worst blunder of your life.

You can predict mate on move 1.
