Ya know, I think the takeaway message here is "be clean."  That, in itself, says volumes.........

I'd of thought for Online and Live tournaments here, that clothing was optional.

My opponent could be naked for all I care. I'm busy looking at the board.

I've seen women players who burst out the bust thinking it is a distraction, but it rarely works, at least not on me. Seen plenty of 'em.

 

I would probably be distracted by that, but I wouldn't mind.

I say this i am not dressing with my shirt tucked in to play chess.....

like some punk. Not shaving, not buying a shirt, not buying slacks.....

None of that!

 I came to play in what i feel comfortable wearing.....

I dunno, I think Topalov's suit would have had difficulty getting through (unless nudity was mandatory, in which case there was actually a dress code :P )

I think it could be successfully argued that Topalov's clothing violates the Geneva Convention....or any other rules of war, for that matter ;p

I have no problem with the ladies coming in their Birthday suits

No, do sing, humm, or whistle. It distracts you opponent if they care to look at you in the beginning of the game. I bet Topolav's outfit was on purpose to distract his opponent.

If nudity was mandatory it would be an undress code!

Yeah sir!

Ever notice, though, that a lot of the people who are nudists really..........well, aren't people you'd want to see nude in the first place?  Just askin'............

royalbishop

Oh man, sometimes I it is hard to come up with different stories and this one is by far the most crazy one I've read at chess.com.  In case you care to know, I beleive your story.  In a nudist resort I would be at the beach rather than looking at the squares.  Cheers.

I wish another troll would register here with the name Alejandro Sosa.

That would be hilarious.
