Why do player stare at each other like a psycho?.

When men were men, no doubt

We need a time machine

does equal mean earth tones?

Obviously for some percieved psycological edge. Probably works quite well against children.

Why would an adult be intimidated by someone staring at them over  chess board?

In what way does that answer itself?

I'm asking why it would intimidate someone.

Obviously, that's why I'm asking you.

The first time I asked, just an adult.

Now since you have said you can see why, I suppose you.

I can see why it may work with younger kids, I just don't see why being started at across a chessboard would intimidate an adult. You do, so I am asking why.

Not sure why confusion has arisen.

It works with adults in a big way khant

I suppose I'll find out when I head to an OTB tournament soon.

Of cousre it's not..to us anyway..but as khant has never stared at anyone..well what can he possibly understand about such matters

Well, I haven't played one since I was around 11. It didn't intimidate me then so I am assuming it won't now.

You're right though, what could I possibly know. Maybe I'll go along and tremble my way to a horrible result.

so you feel nothing when someone stares at you?

The guys made of steel you'll need a bigger cat

Sh*t man! You can be white honest.

I could see how it might be irritating.

Yeah, ok, the second cat might have done it. Even then I think I'd be more concerned that a cat was beating me at chess.

It's about focus, not an itchy spot

Aww have a heart!
