Yes! Tape is completely offensive!!!

My opponent would only come unglued, wondering why Clint was talking to that empty chair.......

I rarely stare at my opponent, because I don't have time or care to know what he looks like. Or she. Think about it this way. If you stare at your opponent, it's like a weakness. You're trying to intimidate them, which does almost nothing against higher rated players and is useless against lower rated players because odds are, the lower rated player is already intimidated. I rather just stare at the board or anywhere other than my opponent. I'd rather them think I am soulless or don't respect them enough to give them the humanity of a stare.

 

I've actually had an IM come up to me after a game (I wasn't playing him) and tell me that I'd be frightening to play against because I show no emotion during the game. Which is quite ironic, because I tend to show a lot of emotion when not in a chess game. He said I never looked at the opponent and kept my eyes on the board when I was at the board (I have a tendency to get up a lot and check out other games). I used to wear a ballcap when playing chess games so my opponent couldn't see my eyes or where at the board they were staring. Nowadays I clasp both hands together and put that on my forehead to act as a makeshift ballcap to cover my eyes.

Oh good idea.. I will try the cap..

Lol, I said Clint Eastwood not Clint Howard.

definately the eyes were right, the shoes are nearly there, something about the colours though, kinda faggitty

Maybe you could instruct us as to the proper non-faggy color schemes.
