If I am playing chess against someone in OTB, I get to see what they look like.
Is chess on the internet a masquerade? Why don't players simply post their own photo?

Hey, I'm from the future. Currently we have four mascots, all up to debate. One is a 250 elo bot, Martin, who is a beginner bot (basically the punching bag of the chess.com world) and has some lore. Second is a 1 elo bot, Mittens, who managed to beat multiple top chess players (eg Hikaru Nakamura, et al.) Third is the Duolingo owl. Last one is a green pawn.
