Hall of Fame:

@Forsaken: Closest friend on chess.com. We chat most days and, well, just a very nice guy to talk to. Also, he convinced me to use the King’s Indian Attack sometimes, and now it’s a great opening for me!

@Rayfamily: Spams forums in CVC (although regulations for him have been placed) and maybe in other clubs that I don’t know.

@Perfessional_Noob917: Made @Lightning_Bolt_123 leave chess.com social. Really sad to witness. Also was mean to me.
