nakamura
are there any celebritys who play chess on chess.com
Sort:
and depending on your definition of "famous," a bunch of other IMs and GMs
Very possibly, but I doubt they're revealing who they are. I would imagine a person who can't go to the store to buy toilet paper without being hounded would value the anonymity that the internet offers.

And if they reveal who they are we probabily wouldn't believe them.

It definitely depends on your definition of "celebrity" and "famous". I'm a bit of a geek, so here's one I recently found:

Liv Tyler plays in this site. I'm about to start a thread about her obscure reasons to blocking me.

I believe Howard Stern was taught by Dan Heisman, so perhaps Stern has a Chess.com account. I consider him more infamous than famous though...

I seem to remember Dan saying he played on ICC. Don't know if he also played here. I think he used an anonymous handle, though.
