:I don't want to make a huge generalization, but in America they're known as beanies, stocking caps extend out from the head and end with pointed tips (or those silly poof balls). [[User:Lcarsos|lcarsos]] ([[User talk:Lcarsos|talk]]) 17:02, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

::And thus it is a {{w|Knit cap}} as taken from the wikipedia article: ''This article is about the knit cap also known as a "beanie" or "tuque"'' (or as the Canadian guyy wrote toque). Of course somewhere they do call it {{w|Beanie (seamed cap)|Beanie}}, but even here they refer to knit cap. As a knit cap is for cold weather and the same drawing is used to protect hairless heads when lost the hair to chemotherapy or in cold conditions, and since a similar character was called [[1350:_Lorenz#Knit_Cap_Girl|Knit Cap Girl]] in the extensive comic [[1350: Lorenz]], I have changed (what had become {{w|Skullcap}}?) to ''knit cap'' in the explanation. Here it is a guy though as the [http://xkcd.com/1112/info.0.json official transcript] calls him Knit hat guy, thus also making it clear that this is a knit cap.--[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 22:07, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
 
  
 
Another point I want to bring up is that it's generally not really a good idea to share your own strategy with your opponents (or potential opponents). I once participated in a Chess tournament, and before it began I encountered this guy who was bragging about his strategy, how he likes to move only his pawns at the beginning and form a sort of wall into which his opponents will invariably run their pieces and, in his words, "kill themselves." Of course, it just so happened that the first game I played in was against this same guy. And so I knew what he was trying to do, and I ended up destroying him. Granted, Cueball's "strategy" in this comic has very little to do with actual established Chess practices, but it's a similar idea.

:The transcript calls the chess player "hat '''guy'''," so I doubt such.

:I've always thought of this comic as being one of those nerdy 13 year olds that are chess geniuses (I call them geniuses because I can't play chess, it's too complicated for me, my cat beats me), and for some reason, these brilliant kids are almost always portrayed as beanie toting.
