This is a fun game in a different context.  Roman does this _all_ the time.
On ICC.  And it is a lot of fun to try and catch the next incarnation of him.
I do pretty well as I know how he plays pretty well.  But he does catch me
off guard at times.  If I don't confront him within a reasonable number of
games, he will start doing things like use crafty's "password" to play oddball
time controls that are outside the formula, etc....  and if I still fail to
notice, I get an 11pm phone call.

My wife loves those. :)

I don't mind playing the "who is Chris" game.  He thinks he can disguise his
writing style, but it always slips through pretty quickly.  I doubt I could hide
any better.  The difference is that I _know_ I couldn't hide.  Because I don't
have the opinion that everyone here is a blithering idiot.

Chris will win.  So don't have a prize fund.  He will "out" himself if you
do.  :)
