I bet the OP is less than 5 years old
Haha! Wrong. I am 6 1/2 now!
I am Boris. Boris Kravtiz. My papa was once greatest chess master in Burtnieki, our village of 500 people, in Latvia. He invent Latvian Gambit. He used to be great member here at chess.com, but he is bitter alcoholic now, and misanthrope. So he ask me, his Baby Boris, fill in his socks. He does not have shoes. So, I am making welcome to all of you. Please to be my friend.
Welcome to our community Boris. Here we don't need socks nor shoes. People come and go as they please. Sometimes the staff make them go - then they get the boot. But otherwise no socks, no shoes.
Also I remember your dad @igorkravitz. He was a very successful rat catcher and all round stud. Can't remember why he got the boot .
Oh wait, that means you must have boots ...
Yes. I am so happy you remember great rat catcher, my papa. In fact, he did not get no boot. He still has account. But he drink too much vodka, and he cannot remember his password or email he used. So my papa ask me to fill in his boots here since now I am grown up and same age as my father. Do you remember when I was just Baby Boris, only a few years ago? Papa stop chess for two years and search for meaning of life. But he give up after his pet squirrel died. Then he go to LiChess, but he did not have any fun there. People too weak and polite. Do you remember how handsome my papa was? I found his old profile picture, he was proud of this. Day he got out of soviet Gulag.
a likely story.
Thank you for your kind words. I am glad you like my story.
