Have we spotted you?

Recognise yourself? Know a Total Chess Weirdo in the wild?

Help the WEIRDO Field Guide Research Institute understand this curious species. Do ratings really not matter? What other behaviours should we be documenting?

The next step

Research into the Total Chess Weirdo is ongoing. Our researchers have gone undercover on online chess forums to put their chess skills to the test and learn more about the Total Chess Weirdo. If you have encountered one, or suspect you may be one yourself, submit your field observations and help us build Field Note #005. Join us on Instagram or Facebook.
