Ah, I see!  A harlequin. (or a Bishop?).  Thanks.

Yes, the bishop, le fou...

i like those chairs in the photo - they're art-pieces

what is that thing that Louis has put his feet on?

Avatar of epoqueepique

A cushioned stool for short-legged people and kids! :-)

thanks, i'm not very familiar with those things, it looks kinda funny to me

i use similar "stuff" sometimes to strech my legs in a horizontal way to get more comfy

but the way Louis is sitting... does it help much? why not let the feet hang in the air? hmmm, it probably gets tiresome if you sit for a long time this way (hanging feet)

Can anyone fill me in on post #2 and #3 in this thread? Am I not picking up the pictures on my screen? It's happened before.

I think post 1 and 2 are there just to give the thread more visibility on home page

Avatar of trysts

Oh, so there is nothing there for you too! Thank you, incantevoleutopia:)

They were empty posts designed to get the thread listed in the "most recent posts" column. (Don't worry, you didn't miss anything :-D )

Oh, thank you:)

i don't understand this "most recent posts" thing, but i've seen the same practice in other forums, where the OP keeps some posts after the 1st one for him/herself, for possible future additions (not sure why they don't just edit the 1st post)

LOL at the pink lipstick!

hmmmm, the nose is also pink though... perhaps it's just the skin colour? And the eyes are blue, btw

Not long ago chess.com initiated a policy- in an attempt to thwart spammers -that when you start a thread, it will not appear in the list called "Most Recent Posts" on the right side of the page until that thread gets a certain number of comments (either 3 or 4).  If it doesn't appear on the "Most Recent" list, many people won't be aware it even exists, or they'll notice it possibly only after the OP is gone.  Putting in comments, in this case blank ones, gets the job done.  And my smiley-face nose in sort of beige, not pink. It's hard to see.
