I don't consider much profile pictures I just enjoy playing chess.

What is your motivation? Comment below.
My motivation is that I sexually identify as a giant black "G" on a chessboard.
Or maybe it's because I value my privacy, and like using a logo that I made as my avatar rather than my face.

Does IMBacon or anyone else get more friend requests when they put a photo up? Perhaps that's the reason. Someone should try it for a few days and report back with the result. I guess they'd have to play a lot of fast games.
Maybe it's to prevent psychopathic stalkers from finding you when they lose a game or get way too involved about someone's avatar.

The amount of friend requests has not changed since i put this pic up.
But i have received some messages from a couple of online e-thugs.

I suppose it would depend on how photogenic you are, some would get more friend requests, the rest of us might scare of the few friends we've already got.

Because the dont want to leak their personal information
