...you have a chess piece tattooed on your body.
You might be a chess player if...
I knew I was too deep into chess when I was sitting in a chair one day watching people and found myself, without thinking, relating their moves to moves on a chessboard.
It was OK until I started yelling at some old woman because she made a stupid step that would lead to checkmate.
if you are above 2200
ACTUALLY SO TRUE why does everyone over 2200 have to be so good 😪😥😭
If you call the corner piece the 'castle' and the one beside it the 'horse.'
Otherwise, it barely counts as chess.
And your only strategy is setting up a Q+B battery attacking the f-pawn.
pianist
So one day this barkeep finds a genie in a bottle. As his reward the genie offers the barkeep a wish. The barkeep thinks for a few minutes and then tells the genie. A moment later the sounds of a beautiful piano come from the back room. The barkeep opens the door and sees a 12" tall man playing a little piano. The barkeep turns to the genie and says, "You idiot, I said penis.".

Back on topic... You might be a chess player if....you tiled your kitchen floor in black and white to resemble a chess board.
.... Every March 9th, you get out your old copy of "My 60 Memorable Games" and hum "Happy Birthday to you."
Your vehicle gets broken into. When you get back to it all that remains are the chess materials you left inside. All other valuables, stolen.

You might be a chess player if...the last mating session you had was at the chess club
