It doesn't count if you're using a keyboard to cover your, um, private areas.

Being naked is all fun and games until someone accidentally leaves an unnoticed bishop in your chair.

Feeling that emotional scarring again?

According to proper chess etiquette, you should be fully clothed whether playing OTB or on the internet. The only exception is when you give a discovered check.

Beware if a naked chess player asks 'Have you seen my bishop?'.Laughing

And get them to the hospital if they ask where their queen is?

Avatar of MSC157

Yes, but only when playing a girl. That's why I have 14/14 against them in OTB chess.

Is this a pawn site?

At home it's just my wife and I, and at least ninety percent of the time when I am playing computer chess or working on chess tactics or whatever, I am naked on the couch while she goes about her business. No big deal.

Typically no. Sometimes the game gets a bit, ah, exciting though.

Avatar of Arisktotle

I started a game that way once but repented when the white king started undressing as well.

No but I have played chess on acid, does that count? Every piece looked very naked lol. And the chess board wasn't yellow and black anymore but many colours!

I always kiss my webcam goodnight to express emotion to the FBI agent watching me. wink.png

But on a serious note, there are aftermarket webcam covers that you can buy if you're worried about such a thing.

A post-it note works.

So, it is not  ashamed to have little bit paranoia because here people are behaving they all have little bit paranoia.
