< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 29 OF 89 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jan-01-14    OhioChessFan: Worst Stickler for the Rules: <The Caissars> Jan-02-14    OhioChessFan: Best historian <Karpova> Best user name <checkmateyourmove> Best game M Vachier-Lagrave vs N Vitiugov, 2013 Jan-02-14    offramp: Nomination: Best Game: Nakamura vs Gelfand, 2013 Nomination: Best Game: Shredder vs Gull, 2013 Jan-02-14    offramp: Nomination: Best Historian: User: suenteus po 147 Jan-02-14    SwitchingQuylthulg: I nominate <technical draw> for Best Avatar, <DrStrangemove> for Best Username, <Phony Benoni> for Most Helpful, Karpova chessforum for Best Post, <dakgootje> for Funniest Poster, <Domdaniel> for Best Profile, <wordfunph> for Most Constructive and <tpstar> for Most Informed. I second <OhioChessFan>'s nomination of <Karpova> for Best Historian. Jan-02-14    chancho: I nominate <The Caissars> for best Avatar. I mean, look at how cool that avatar is before you judge me. };^) Jan-02-14    HeMateMe: <TheFocus> for funiest kibitzer. (He's been working pretty hard for that of late--it's a sort of rotating title, throw the man a Caissar.) Jan-02-14    offramp: I'm sorry - I've just read the voting procedure. I should have put the names in <gold>. Please ignore my previous two posts, and this is my new vote. Vote: Best game: <Nakamura vs Gelfand, 2013>. Vote: Best game: <Shredder vs Gull, 2013>. Vote: Best Historian: <User: suenteus po 147>. Oh well. I'm sure it's clear enough. BTW, can you see that the full stop after the chevron in each case is gold? Even though it is outside the chevrons? Like here <hello>. Jan-02-14    Nina Myers: <offramp: I'm sorry - I've just read the voting procedure.... this is my new vote.> Read again. It's <nomination time>! Jan-02-14    FSR: <chancho: I nominate <The Caissars> for best Avatar.> That appears to violate this rule: • You may not nominate Chessgames administrative accounts for any category. Jan-02-14    Penguincw: I don't usually nominate (I believe I only did it once), but when I do nominate... Best Pun: < H Rudolf vs R Bezler, 2001 > (<"Rudolf the Dread Knows Rainer">). By the way, is one allowed to <vote> for their own nomination? Jan-02-14    HeMateMe: Shouldn't the category be <best handle> or <best name, nic>, instead of best avatar? The avatars are limited to what CG has on stock, or one can upload a personal photo. I think some of the names used here are pretty entertaining, but avatars are of no particular interest. Jan-02-14    mbvklc: I'd like to nominate Aronian vs Anand, 2013 for game of the year Jan-02-14    rogge: I nominate Carlsen vs Aronian, 2013 for Game of the Year. Jan-02-14    parmetd: second mbvklc for Aronian vs Anand Jan-02-14    fm avari viraf: Best of luck guys & Happy New Year 2014 to everyone. Jan-02-14    The Caissars: HeMateMe: You are looking for category #2, "Best Username". Incidentally, avatars are often member-submitted and those are not restricted to personal photos. For example last year's winner Octopi was submitted by parmetd for his own account. Jan-02-14    MostlyAverageJoe: Nominations for the best avatar: <User: Annie K> <User: moronovich> <User: Artar1> My personal rule for the best avatar: must include a chess board and a cute mammal showing keen interest in that board. The origin of that rule should be self-evident... Jan-02-14    hms123: Second <Annie K.> for best avatar. Jan-02-14    MarkFinan: Anand vs Carlsen, 2013 Best game. I'll have to think about the others because if I don't take this seriously I won't be the next <tpstar>. 😆 Jan-02-14    Sneaky: For Best Game of the Year I nominate <Ivanchuk vs Kramnik, 2013> … on "notable" grounds. This is the game that indirectly made Carlsen world champion. For best avatar I nominate <ketchuplover> User: ketchuplover … I mean, just how perfect is that? Jan-02-14    parmetd: no one should nominate a game where the black player was forced to play for a win.... Jan-02-14    HeMateMe: best pun: <Dial Emms for Murder> <D P Wheeler vs Emms, 2005> For movie buffs, of course! Jan-02-14    Sneaky: I second <Dial Emms for Murder> and also nominate a pun I think has it beat: <Jeepers Kuipers, How'd You Beat Art Pijpers?
