Legendary @Kazamaza says good bye - Join his Good Bye Tournament

@Kazamaza Our lovely friend and founder of team 😎Kool And The Gang👊 says good bye to being active on Lichess.
There was a time hundreds freaked out when @Kazamaza aka "hazy green clumsy sage frog" joined in a chatroom and filled the space with love, friendship and positivity.
He selected by hand interesting players to bring them together in a team that was more like a family.
He worked over years tausend of hours to make for each of his friends their little chess world a better place.
It felt like we laughed more hours together then we played chess.
After all this long time he came to a point he has to care seriously about his life outside of chess.
He said he will stay on Lichess and play sometimes but he can't care anymore about requests at all.
That's why he says good bye to being active on Lichess best Team ever 😎Kool And The Gang👊
And we say Thank You with a last @Kazamaza-Tournament to fire it up one more time.

👉I created this Forum-Post to reach all his other hundert friends who are not in the team👈
Everyone who knows @Kazamaza join in the Tournament and show him respect and gratitude for all he did for us.

@Kazamaza We wish you all the best on your way and will never forget you and will remember this great time that we had together forever. 😘

Thanks to @Hansi2007 for this lovely nice poster!
I dont know if u read this @kazamaza
But it is time to say officially good bye and much more THANK YOU!!!
I can remember vaguely these first hours as I met you in the wild chat rooms of Daily Rapids and was attracted to your funny chat style. You sent Waves of Love into the chat room and happiness. I needed it as I was in difficult personal times. As I was a funny chatter too we soon became friends and I was one of the first who entered your new found Team. KATG! Oh man how wild were these days. I lives alone and chatted night after night, getting too less sleep but many hours of fulfilling chess and friendship. Then we both became chatbanned. First u then me. This Ban and then the Salvation made us friendlier persons in chat. At least I got gezähmt. ;)
But life goes on. You got a seldom guest on lichess and i had to cut all blitz/bullet crazyness for health reasons. KATG grew and old friends vanished. It was another chess life now, less funny, more serious for me. I missed you lately and I miss @rookceps @sharkema and his stream "drake" and so on. I feel that 2020 is the year of decisions. Life is serious now for old people over 30 like me. We all love chess but we all have to do other things too. We are no Bobby Fischers.
But I will never forget you @kazamaza and I will never forget the golden chat times with you and friends! THANKS FOR ALL YOUR ENERGY AND LOVE YOU BROUGHT TO LICHESS!!!
Your friend, mata aka hakuna matatatatata
Tomorrow,20 july,there is international chess day.25 december christmas day.26 july will be international Kazamaza day.
A team more like a family? Get over yourself. Whoever Kazamaza is, he's not Gandhi
More like of the year. I remember the old days, back when trolls were actually funny...
as usual, start a forum, and some people immediately start being toxic smh
Emotion is a currency hyperinflated by schmaltz and overblown melodrama. The posters in this thread are pushing a wheelbarrow of Zimbabwean dollars to the shop to buy a loaf. The guy has not just died, and this is not his overblown, mawkish eulogy. Good taste demands a critique. Arrange these words into a commentary on this thread, I can't be bothered: glib exaggeration histrionics theatrical melodrama hammy bathos gushing vapid saccharine fake. A Lichess team more like a family? Oh my god...you would need a Fort Knox of gold bars just to buy one M&M with such runaway hyperinflation
But lest I am accused of being a troll, I am disappearing. Go back to your Gandhi-worship
