In some cultures, it may be considered cool to be a "bad boy".
Never, though, in chess circles. Being reknowned as a bad chess player could earn you a flogging.
Hey...I don't make the rules.

Hey...I don't make the rules.
I don't have any more.
Wait...last one...
From the conversation at the nearby table at the cafe where they are playing chess, you overheard that Mr. Giuoco gives piano lessons and you decide to give him a call.
...and, you think this was Bobby Fischer's favorite opening (forget that e4 nonsense) and that it is called the Nimzo something or other.
Nice puzzle.
Also, you have just placed a large wager that Zwischenzug is the capitol of Switzerland.
Very last one...
You think that Capablanca is in western Morroco where Humphrey Bogart starred in your favorite movie and you log onto Expedia to book a one month vacation there.
OK, now I go...but I can't resist one more.
If you don't like it, stop here...right now. No peeking, either.
You are a bad chess player because you think triangulation has something to do with sunken ships near Bermuda.
I forget...oh...wait...
You are a bad chess player when you review each and every one of Haywood's blitz games and you go around telling everyone you know that he is the best dang chess player in the whole, wide world!
This one is so...so stupid that I am embarassed to tell you.
What the hell...
You are a bad chess player because you are an existentialist and you believe the reason for living is to live and that, you conclude, means only to play chess...even if you happen to be very, very crummy at it.
Think about it.
WIN :D
