Grigory Alexandrovich Kushelev-Bezborodko

Sort:
Alexander Konstantinopolsky

Speaking of chesskid, the username generator on that site somes up with some really funny results. For those of you who aren't familiar with chesskid.com, when you create an account, there is a list of usernames generated by the computer that you have to choose from; it doesn't allow you to create your own. The usernames are all combinations of two words.
So anyway, here are some of the funniest usernames I've seen on chesskid:
NauseatingBathtub (749) - my favorite!
SmellyCotton (337)
| FamousBuffalo (975) |
ResponsibleMonster (390) - this guy offered a draw when he was clearly losing, and when i declined he abandoned his game. So much for being responsible.
HappyDoorknob (881)
EmbarrassedPuppy (747)
IdioticChimp (496) - surprised that "idiotic" is part of the username generator's vocabulary
GorgeousBathtub (1170) - better than the first one at least
RelaxedChick (644) - "chick" should also be eliminated from the username generator's vocabulary. Too easy to misinterpret...

definetly Kieseritsky was no GM because the GM title was later invented by the russian czar.
Who is the player with longest name in the history of chess?
