Who is german11

Who is this guy and how does this dude keep playing hundreds of games per day
Doesn't he have a job
Or is he a bot?
According to german11's own forum posts, he's retired and likes chess a lot. He isn't a bot, just someone who enjoys to play the game... a lot!

> He is not retired

Yes, he is: lichess.org/forum/off-topic-discussion/is-german11-a-bot#4

Now kindly refrain from pinging the poor guy, and speculating about details of his private life like this. It’s rather rude. How would you like it if someone made a thread about you in the same vein?

For that matter, please don’t send him DMs either, unless you have an actual reason to. (Like he was your opponent in a game where you lost your connection, and you just want to apologize and request another match.) He happens to be famous enough by now that he probably gets pestered by strangers all the time. Please do unto others as you would have them do to you, and let him be.

And before anyone asks, I’m not saying this in any sort of official capacity; I’m just tired of seeing threads like this, which call for speculation as to “Who is so-and-so in IRL?” If that user’s profile doesn’t say, then it’s none of your business. (Besides, what makes you think anyone else here knows either?)
