Really? That's a shame. He joined my clan back on the day, before o knew who he was.

He was/is a great player and a genuine somebody. I believe he once defeated Garry Kasparov in a simul.

There are only nobodies here.

"he/she is really somebody" ~ and for people with lower totals, they could be called names with incrementally increasing degrees of casual denigration and scorn.

So the one with the biggest mouth wins?

No. I suggest the one with the most posts. Like I said in the OP.

Yes, you can find his game online. A decent chap aswell, from what small interaction i had.

Would a nobody even recognize a somebody?

Would a real somebody brag about being a somebody?

There are some somebodies who might use double and triple bluffs when it comes to bragging. This can bamboozle nobodies ~ or even some of the lesser somebodies.

No matter how you slice it, the one with the most posts is probably the one doing the most talking. Somebody has a big mouth.

"Big mouth" is a subjective and pejorative label. Number of posts is empirical.

I wonder who that would be.

It's the quality of one's posts that matters, not quantity.

Not according to my proposal.

Why wouldn't a nobody recognize a somebody? According to FMF's definition a somebody has a big mouth. Easy to see don't you think?

Somebodies are always bragging about themselves. How else do you think they got to be a somebody. 😉 I mean, just look at FMF. He's always bragging about his accomplishments.
