| Sneaky: Chessgames likes him because his name lends itself so easily to cheap puns. |

| cu8sfan: How many players in the database? What are the odds of one player getting to be PotD three times over the span of a year? |

| whiteshark: To win back my youth, Gerald, there is nothing I wouldn’t do - except take exercise, get up early, or be a useful member of the community. |

3) May 3 2005
4) Mar 2 2006
5) Sep 18 2006

| lentil: does this guy have a title? |
|
| Sep-18-07 |
| pawnofdoom: <lentil> Yes, thsi guy's a grandmaster. His rating is 2508 right now, but it's been a lot higher before. He's not playing as well and as much as he used to. |

| DarthStapler: Probably because he hurt his neck |
