Noflaps, because I looked in the mirror and saw neither flaps nor flaps switch. Of course, it often causes me to land too fast.

> *Here's good write up on skittles chess.* If you can find a chess tournament, you can get a game in the skittles room. Skittles is a delightful term in the chess world! It refers to a casual or “pickup” game played without the pressure of a chess clock. These friendly matches often take place in a skittles room during chess tournaments, where players engage in lighthearted play while waiting for their next formal game. It’s a chance to enjoy the game, experiment with different openings, and share insights with fellow chess enthusiasts.

Today I would chose Mysteriouspider or something but I was 9 then LOOL
I came up with my nickname after thinking about the many times I have had one of my bishops either trapped by pawns or lost after a fork which includes a check on my king.
