  gauer: Dear Santa

Thanks for saving Mars and the rest of those important parts of the quadrant. Instead, another left at Albuquerque may have led straight to speedy Gonzalez' Mexican astrology temples. But there's no Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator in the stockings today!

What gives?!

  chessgames.com: Ho ho ho and Merry Christmas!

Santa's special software scoured the scores of posts and from that set chose 11 winners at random.

(By the way, the people who jumped the gun and posted shortly before the official announcement this year were included in the drawing. Santa doesn't want to split hairs over details like that.)

Without further ado, the winners are:

(1) andrewjsacks
(2) HeMateMe
(3) rannewman
(4) Bratek
(5) SilentWitness
(6) Zkid
(7) Bhrugu
(8) castagno
(9) Abdel Irada
(10) poorpatzer
(11) gauer

Thanks to everybody for participating and making this site what it is.

  chessgames.com: <PaulLovric: Dear Santa, I did not read the fine print about multiple posts> Don't worry--you weren't excluded, you were given one entry like everybody else. Maybe we should rewrite that rule next year, just to make it clear that you will only be entered one time regardless of the number of posts you make. Thanks.
