I wouldn't be caught dead with a chess related handle on a chess site. it's just embarrassingly obvious, and trying to make it 'clever' will only make it worse.

Sounds like wormwood is a bah humbug version of staunton eating wormy wood pieces.

That IS funny- I'm having a Billy Crystal/Fernando flashback! And it's nice to have a thread on the lighter side of chess.

Got that right. Chess can be really tough.

My game with CCNoob is a good/bad example- a sad and absurd ending to an otherwise well played game- in my opinion, anyway. At some point, we'll just move on.

And maybe I'll petition to change my name to a handle such as "Moveon.chess" or something.

Hey, work with me on this...

EDIT: Of course, heinzkat, that is assuming "GetARoom" is already taken!

I was wondering when you would wander along.

I think users on Chess sites should only be allowed to pick names
with a chess theme.

Russ is my pal and will do mostly anything I ask. So I can get Woodworm
changed to 'Wood-Pusher' and HeinzKat to 'He Is Krap.'
