If Ludwig van Beethoven were a chess player...
1. He'd be happy to start a game with you.
2. If you take too long to move, he'll loudly tell you (since he can't hear).
3. He'll be writing music at the same time.
4. He'll be so distracted by his music that he forgets to move, and you cannot tell him verbally because he's deaf.
5. He'll find the Sicilian Defence stupid.
6. He'll mock your playing style, saying it has no soul.
7. He'll get frustrated and yell at your when you pull a perpetual check on him.
8. If he feels the slightest suspicion, he'll point a finger at your and say you snagged a pawn and hid it in your pocket, even though you didn't.
9. He'd chat with you about his views on politics and the world.
10. He'd show you his compositions and hum them to you if you can't read it.
WHAT'S YOUR 10?
I would like to get your opinions about famous people and how you believe they would play chess, including their attitudes, habits, mannerisms, etc...
