< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 25 OF 89 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jan-17-13    Once: Not a difficult decision this year. I vote for <Magnus Carlsen> as best player. Even if my ipad insists on spell-changing his name.... It's a plot, a plot I tell you to deprive me of my democratic rights to .... Something or other. Jan-17-13    achieve: <Once> Not to be a pain, but the award is for "Player of the Year" - not the absolute best player, in that sense. Just to make clear. Also the automated count only recognizes the correctly spelled category. I think. Jan-17-13    Abdel Irada: Thanks. I'll keep an eye open for it. Jan-17-13    Bureaucrat: I vote for <Magnus Carlsen> for Player of the Year. Jan-17-13    OhioChessFan: I vote for <truefriends> for Player of the Year Jan-17-13    wordfunph: I vote for <Magnus Carlsen> for Player of the Year. Jan-17-13    MarkFinan: I forgot all about these awards as iv not been around, but i would have voted Annie and Hms123 for most helpful.. That's all i have to say on the subject :) Oh... Best troll feeder... Ladies and gentleman, i give you Jim "the jurys still out" Bartle... Jan-17-13    hms123: I vote for <Magnus Carlsen> for Player of the Year. Jan-17-13    chesstoplay: My vote for Player of the Year: < Magnus Carlsen > TY! Jan-17-13    parmetd: I vote for <Magnus Carlsen> for Player of the Year. Jan-17-13    chancho: For Player of the year I cast my vote for <Magnus Carlsen>. Jan-17-13    mightor: <In my mind, there is no question that <Softpaw> merited that award. You need merely read his hundreds of posts on the <Kenneth Rogoff> pages, on any of a dozen different subjects, to see exactly what I mean.> I reckon being in the Rogoff page, his posts say nothing of chess. He may be most informed in most subjects...but if he lacks basic chess awareness he does not deserve the plum- we are looking for most informed chess guro ...not a jeopardy game show contestant. Let him prove me wrong by posting about Wesley So and his potential then I may reverse my stand. Jan-17-13    mightor: I vote for <Wesley So> as player of the year and years to come. Jan-17-13    northernfox: I vote for <Magnus Carlsen> as Player of the Year. Jan-17-13    Blunderdome: I vote for <Vladimir Kramnik> and <Yifan Hou> for Player of the Year.

Jan-17-13    benjinathan: I vote <Magnus Carlsen> Jan-17-13    benjinathan: As an aside, next year we should have a vote for game of the year. Jan-17-13    WannaBe: <benjinathan: As an aside, next year...> <tpstar> is doing that already, you can vote on his forum. Jan-17-13    TheFocus: I vote for <Magnus Carlsen> for Player of the Year.
