Originally I did upload a pic of myself but for whatever reason it didn't appear, by the time I realised that I'd already decided to change it to the Stay Puft Marshmallow man from Ghostbusters.

I'm sure one or two of our users resemble the marshmallow man, so you might be misleading people there.

In chess, only thing that matter is good moves NOT good looks

I think if someone is very good looking it would mess up my game a little bit.

you're right, afaf; Sutton Chess Congress, early '90s, found meself drawn against young lady (early 20s at a guess) who was an absolute knockout an' dressed to kill - I was 3/400 higher than her on FIDE's number list ( I'd already messed up one of me openin' two games) - an she creamed me ! Smile I cuddn concentrate at all ! Smile it ddn help that almost every player there seemed to be takin' an' extraordinary interest in 'the game' ( my proverbial ! Wink ) so there were people floatin' round the board the whole time Laughing

Good point. For the record I don't bear any resemblance to him, I just think he's funny.  That whole scene was funny. I'm hearing Ghostbusters 3 is upon us soon, hope its better than the 2nd one.

Hence the vegetable.  I'd prefer to win on the merit of my play.

i think it is so amazing that

1. you actually posted a pic of a headless goat

and

2. you considered quitting (at least wanted us all to think you considered) becasue chess.com removed the pic.

i'm pro-goats with heads.

Avatar of Kernicterus

flags.  I would use dolt again but it seems to please you. I did not make the thread until I decided I could go through with it.  Had Chess.com not removed me from the interactive map, I would have definitely not renewed. 

Why you choose to focus on the goat is beyond me.  It was clear from the post that this merely compounded my irritation.  Now shoo.

Yes Afaf I agree.  What messes my game up is if they are good looking, know what to say and beat me at chess.  This combination and i may as well not play.

Cerebral If it is because people are self-conscious about their looks, what do they do in when they go out in the real world?  You could be right about a small percent of the members. I don not think it is  as plain and simple as you suggest. 


in the real world it's different cause they have no choice:people have to work,make a living,etc.of course....there's a big chunk of people that are just too lazy to put up photos,and others cause of manipulation issues.we can't know for sure what the actual percentages are though.

The reason why my profile picture isn't me, is because I don't have any pictures of myself in the last two years.

If I did have a semi-decent picture of myself, I woulden't mind changing m profile picture.
