So what is the origin of your username?

Its a game of kings and knights . Knights must have swords. Some swords are legendary. I'd like to play like a sword, sadly not even my pen is a sword :(

I figured it is so unoriginal it would already be out there, so i incorporated some imaginative spelling.

I love usernames, love to guess at their origin, and love this thread.

@eskervenn you will have to tell us, friend.
When I was introduced to Lichess it was by one of my friends after a math test that I had just taken (and I am pretty good at math). Given the current situation, I thought it would be a good name to use, though I've already decided what my 2000+ account's name is going to be: Consigliere (look it up).
TacTic refers to Tactics (Chess).
TicTac refers to the mint brand "Tic Tac"

There was a small conversation with my trainer after the analysis of my chess game
and I said the following:

Me: I have to practice tactics a lot more.
Trainer: You know what? Tactic is TicTac.

Hence the name. I don't know what he meant though. lol
@MrPushwood well indirectly. He is or to be precise was my chess trainer in my local chess club. He isn't my personal trainer, but I learnt a lot from him. I enjoyed the times when we looked at the games from the world champions. Learnt so much from the classics.
I really am a pen nerd. Very interested in pens, and have a big collection. It was between that or WatchGeek, I am also obsessed with watches and have three right now.
