| Jul-20-14 | | PinnedPiece: <two golds> . Wow, I don't what to say, so I'll just say: I don't know what to say.
By the way, I missed the first round, and got a shutout in the final round, so for anyone who cruises through here, wondering what it takes to be a happy camper.....let me tell you this: I don't know what to say.
Except I certainly appreciate the fine work of the multiple hosts, and am happy to share a few of the honors with them. . |

| Jul-20-14 | | Karposian: <PinnedPiece> What a fantastic performance. Congratulations and welcome to the glorious <Hall of Fame>!! Thanks to <OCF> for hosting and <chessmoron>, <WinKing> and <penguincw> for keeping track of the scores. Congrats to all the medal winners! |
|
| Jul-20-14 | | WinKing: Thanks to <chessmoron> & <OhioChessFan> for running & hosting the contest. Congratulations to all of the medal winners! Special kudos to <PinnedPiece> the newest member in the HOF. It was a long time in coming but I'm sure it was worth the wait breaking the barrier with not one but two golds! :) Another wild finish in this contest. You weren't sure how it was going to turn out going into the last round. I love this contest - very unpredictable. |

♔ CROWNS BY TOURNAMENT ♔
* Baz (1 year): 3♔ <SwitchingQuylthulg> * Biel (1 year): 2♔ <WinKing> * Bilb (2 years): 3♔ <lostemperor>, <NakoSonorense>; 2♔ <chessmoron>, <SloVice> * Dor (5 years): 4♔ <chessmoron>; 3♔ <just a kid>, <Robin01>, <WinKing>, <wordfunph>; 2♔ <OhioChessFan>, <PinnedPiece> * Lin (2 years): 2♔ <DCP23>, <imag>, <Winter> * LCC (1 year): 4♔ <Penguincw>; 2♔ <chessmoron> * Nor (2 years): 3♔ <lostemperor>, <OhioChessFan> * PSpr (2 years): 3♔ <Robin01>; 2♔ <jameskobe> * Tal (3 years): 3♔ <chessmoron>, <wordfunph>; 2♔ <Where is my mind>, <wordfunph> * WCC (2 years): 3♔ <OhioChessFan>, <wordfunph>; 2♔ <chessmoron> * Wij (6 years): 4♔ <chessmoron>, <OhioChessFan>; 3♔ <Robin01>; 2♔ <chanco>, <Golden Executive>, <imag>, <NakoSonorense>, <SwitchingQuylthulg> Notes: In order for one to appear here, they must have won at least 2 crowns in a particular category. However, I do have a record of all the one crown winners. Also, in order to find all this data, I actually went back in <OCF>'s chessforum to look at previous contest winners. Unfortunately, the data only goes back to 2009, and is therefore different then as listed on chessmoron's profile. If you spot any errors, please notify me, and I'll look into it (don't worry <WinKing>, take your time with it). Thanks. :) |

| Jul-20-14 | | WinKing: <If you spot any errors, please notify me, and I'll look into it (don't worry <WinKing>, take your time with it). Thanks. :)> This is over my pay grade <Penguincw>. I think I'll let you handle this one. ;) |

 | | eternaloptimist: Hi <Ohio>, how's it going? Btw I was checking out some random chess websites earlier today & I noticed something interesting on the home page of this website of a chess club in Ennis, Ireland.: http://ennischessclub.wordpress.com/
They mentioned the same chesscafe article on the benefits of chess that u pointed out to me in my forum! I think that it's a good article & apparently the Irishman that pointed it out does also but <Deus Ex Alekhina> apparently disagrees. Btw did u ever read his kibitz in my forum? It's quite interesting. o.0 It will raise an eyebrow to say the least! |

One of the best scenes from a great movie. The Sugar Ray-Jake Lamotta rivalry was one of the greatest in boxing history. Notice how much they respect each other here with <Curt Gowdy> and <Don Dumphy> on "The Way it Was": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOo3... |
