Oh alright. I'm afraid to ask but gonna anyway. What does the taco trophy mean?

I've never paid too much attention to them but just out of curiosity, what is it for? Why do people choose that? A taco seems kind of weird anyway.

Why not?

None of the trophies mean anything; they are just there

I've read some posts that people get sent some just as a joke. I can't remember any examples. How can I see all the different ones people can select?

What is taco(-bell)? 

Haha, I got one of those too. I have no idea :D

So when someone sends me that trophy, they're telling me to not eat a taco? What if I want to eat one?

Well... there's a pizza trophy and a hamburger trophy. So why not a taco?

The purpose of the taco trophy is to let someone know that if, at present, you had the ability to hand them a taco as a gesture of good-will and friendship, you would do so.  However, as you are separated by potentially thousands of miles, a small picture of a taco will have to suffice as a symbol of your feelings and intentions.

Well, yes, but I don't think that's the intended meaning for the trophy (Intended by chess.com, that is).

It's a roundabout compliment indicating that you played like Tal.

See, Taco was a musician from the 80's that put out a cover version of Puttin on the Ritz.

That song was originally performed by Fred Astaire.

Now what does this have to do with Tal? Well what was one of Tal's traits that he is infamous for? His stare. Tal had a stare (Astaire) that could unnerve even the most confident of players.

So when Mersaphe says it's a metaphor for something else he's spot on. Take it as a compliment, that's what it is.

I think.

Wow, how could I have missed that.

I'm pretty sure the taco question is the greatest question ever, but I was too scared to ask it

I think we have a winner. Okay every send him taco trophies!

Why does it have to mean something?? 

Well it's making me wanna eat tacos. 

I get the Bonehead trophy alot, although I also prefer the taco ones!

Lol.

There's a bonehead one?
