But there is no such confession today from Chivers. My first online handle, which I still use to play the occasional chess game, was and indeed still is, even if I say so myself, completely brilliant. It's:-
Ihaveagirlfriend
That's right! If only you'd thought of it first.
But I didn't stop there with outstandingly witty and inventive online handles. I followed up with the following work of Joycean linguistic genius:
Jurchessic Park
- a subtle yet magnificent play on my two great childhood passions, chess and dinosaurs.
And now finally, for the occasional game of 1+0 bullet, my handle issues a clear civilizing messages to the barbarian hordes of the internet chess world:
RealMenResign
That's right, they do. And I do particularly often.

Quite fond of my own handle : Smackmybishop
I thought I remembered you calling cuppablanca a handle of genius, but maybe I'm wrong...

I don't remember saying that Tom. But how about Kirkkabaine - so bad it's genius - almost!
