Why did you choose your chess.com name? I chose my name because it has been my game name for awhile. Please tell why you chose your name and does it mean anything special to you?

Rob_Soul

I chose my name here because it is my name!

Rob Soul

I had to add the underscore because they wouldn't allow a space to be used in a username.

And yes, it is very special to me. Lol

Beast719

My name came from my two passions chess and golf. 

Beast because I am an animal over a chess board and 719 is my best ever score in a round of golf (at the Macynllyth pitch and put under the flyover by Asda's car-park)

goldendog

It showed up on my porch and wouldn't leave. Because it was cute, I took it in and now it sleeps at the foot of my bed every night.

EnoneBlue

High School nickname

KiNgApE

Nice :) please keep posting why you chose your name :)

Apoapsis

Name on another site. Easy to remember...

batgirl

I like roaming the streets at night in my lycro costume inflicting vigilante justice on unsuspecting ne'er-do-wells.

mosqutip

Started this name in a video game, then it became one e-mail address, now it's a chess name.

redsoxfan33

I love the red sox

ilikeflags

i feel like i've seen this thread before...

i actually like flags

ittybittygirl

I am a genetically short person... Wink

softpretzel

What can I say? I like pretzels, I grew up near Philadelphia and I didn't want to have to remember how to spell "Bavarian" every time I logged in   :o)

bugoobiga

because I am best served on toast...sometimes.

N-k5

Because Knight to e5 (or e4) is always the winning move.  

Don't believe me? A guy in my grade beat a current NM with only a marginal understanding of how the pieces move and a strong grounding in the strength of Ne5.  However, he also didn't have a bus to catch that caused him to forfeit after two moves.

Head_Hunter

I got my name from some of the fellas that I used to play with at a local gathering spot. Most of the guys there are more experienced chess players than I am, so whenever I played any of them I would always play aggresive openings trying to get an edge. They would say, "Man, you're just a head hunter. You just like going for mate."

DO-the-DEW

I like Mountain Dew.

No I still don't believe you.
