Skip menuWhere did "quicky2g" come from?
I used to play online chess when I was a teenager. Just before the year 2000, I was playing online and needed to come up with a nickname for Yahoo games. I was a slow player and most of the people playing wanted quick games that would end quickly to raise their rating. To trick them into playing games on my board with my set of rules, I wanted to call myself "quicky" but the name was already taken. I added "2g" or 2 grand (2000) since it was so close to the year 2000. The name stuck and I have used it ever since.
