1000 signs that you are a chess player

About @ 508
To be a chess player (seriously) you don't need have a book about chess opening neither memorize thousands of openings. You have a good point about the scammers surely they abound, but the point here is just to share some attributes that help us (with some jokes) to spot chess players. In the other hand you said " Yet chess players tend to be obsessive and let the game swallow up their entire soul "
That's not true at all, is Magnus Carlsen "soulless"? watch this www.twitch.tv/maskenissen/clip/FaithfulElatedSpaghettiUWot?filter=clips&range=30d&sort=time
The man has charisma and he is the current best chess player! Please don't generalize too quickly with your first impressions.
It's like Richard P. Feynman used to say:
" The first principle is that you must not fool yourself – and you are the easiest person to fool".
Now please let's continue with the signs. I want to finish this before the lock-down ends.
