you might be a chessplayer if

you whisper in your lover's ear 'J'adoube'

your computer boots up to redHotPawn

You object to stalemate counting as a draw!

you think a rook on the seventh is compensation for a pawn

Your on this website and reading this forum 🙂

When a chess player does not know the difference between a Stalemate and a Draw! Then, you have to explain the difference. Also, when the news say the situation is a Stalemate when they too do not know the difference between a Stalemate and a Draw!

When someone comes to me and say they know how to play! I ask them two questions: Do you know En Passant and do you how to Castle. As soon as they say What? Then, you know that you are a chess player!

This is a really good non-rating-related filter. It sure separates players from posers in my book.
