Jan-11-13    DcGentle: I vote for <morfishine> for Most Helpful. I vote for <tpstar> for Best Post ( Anand-Gelfand World Chess Championship (2012) ). Jan-11-13    frogbert: congratulations to parmetd and phony benoni for best avatar and user name, respectively! :o) btw, would it be wrong to ask for the full list of those who got votes in any given category? ps! a suggestion to be considered for next year's rules: i think it would be a good idea to say that a certain avatar, game collection or user name can only win once for <the exact same avatar/game collection/user name>. otherwise i suspect that a brilliant user name like "phony benoni" might continue to win year after year. which isn't necessarily bad or wrong, but still possibly not the best way to ensure the caissars continued popularity. but all potential debate about this is off until we're done with this year's caissars, of course. good luck to the candidates of today's voting - tpstar seems to be running away with the best post already. :o) Jan-11-13    chancho: I vote <tpstar> for most helpful.
