It makes it so much better.

I think being anonymous is good though, some people might look at a picture and decide not to play that person based on the pic alone, for the same reason you wouldn't talk to them in a bar, whatever that is.

dmx.  I do that all the time when someone challenges me to a game.  If they have gold teeth, too much bling, or resemble a Picasso...well, you get the picture...no pun intended.

Hehe, funny how that works isn't it?  I am quite easy going that way (at least as far as Chess is concerned) and will play anyone at least once.  My approach changed slightly about a year ago after 25 games with the same guy, I realised that I wanted to play as many people as I can in my lifetime so I stopped asking for rematches.

If someone has a particularly good looking avatar and they are rated within 400 pts above me...I'm all for rematches.

Hi,

I just discovered this aspect of chess.com.

I'm happy to provide information but it's very different for me as I am an artist and happy to share or promote my work. I create cute/cool/ & creepy images for kids and odd people. I market them on t-shirts, hoodies and other clothing and novelties. I paint, draw and sculpt. My influences and interests are eclectic.
