< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 3 OF 89 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jan-03-13    morfishine: I nominate <Tal7777777> for Best profile Jan-03-13    Check It Out: I nominate <Magnus Carlsen> for player of the year. Come on. Jan-03-13    Check It Out: I nominate <JessicaFischerQueen> for best historian and best profile. I nominate <SwitchingQuylthulg> for best user name. I nominate <hms123> for most helpful. Jan-03-13    Abdel Irada: Apologies, but I find I must deliver my nominations piecemeal. For the moment, I nominate <Jimfromprovidence> for "best analyst." (In years past, I would have suggested <Honza Cervenka>, who appears to be an extremely strong player and deep analyst, but he's been less active lately in the kibitzing, while <Jim> has offered a different angle on puzzle after puzzle.) Jan-03-13    magnifico: I nominate <tolengoy> for all available awards. Jan-03-13    magnifico: I nominate <Wesley So> for Player of the Year Jan-03-13    magnifico: <I nominate: Funniest Poster: <Jim Bartle>> I object! Jan-03-13    magnifico: I nominate <orcafan> for most informed kibitzer. Jan-03-13    magnifico: I nominate <isit> for most helpful. Jan-03-13    King Sacrificer: <Abdel Irada: Apologies, but I find I must deliver my nominations piecemeal. For the moment, I nominate <Jimfromprovidence> for "best analyst." (In years past, I would have suggested <Honza Cervenka>, who appears to be an extremely strong player and deep analyst, but he's been less active lately in the kibitzing, while <Jim> has offered a different angle on puzzle after puzzle.)> I also couldn't decide which one to nominate as i enjoy both users' interesting (engine-free) analysis. But <Honza Cervenka> finds games from database instead of concentrating on puzzles and GOTD. I find his style better for this site and support him. Jan-03-13    Tal7777777: I nominate <morfishine> for most helpful. Jan-03-13    parmetd: Nomination 1. Best Avatar - Sorry I hate to do this action but I must. I will vote for myself <parmetd> because I simplier have not seen a better avatar. I truly wish to plead that I am unbiased in this case. 2. Best Username <Agent Bouncy> 3. Most Helpful - <hms123> has consistently come in and answered users questions everywhere. 4. Best Post: I second the tpstar post above by Sneaky 5. Funniest Poster - while <frogbert> could easily have been nominated for virtually any number of these awards, I have to say now that I have met this man that his wonderful sense of humor now adorns each post of his that I read and enjoy. 6. Most Constructive - I must mention that <chesstoplay> posts infrequently due to the fact it pains him to type... but that also means when he does posts it has a very constructive purpose in mind. 7. Best Profile <jessicafischerqueen> 8. Best Analysis - I have to say that I have consistently enjoyed the analysis of <Ezzy> throughout the course of the year particularly when it game to GM Nigel Short's games. 9. Best Game Collection - perhaps later 10. Most Informed - I always have to say I find myself in agreement with the posts of <perfidious> quite often. 11. Best Historian - again I must vote for <perfidious> as he adds tons of historical anecdotes to games. 12. Best/Worst Pun of the Year. For some reason this category seems to have the need to be desperately divided into two. For the best one, I nominate Jobava vs Kamsky, 2012 13. Player of the Year - I would be remiss if I stated anything other than the obvious: <Magnus Carlsen> I feel at a loss that there should somehow be more categories such as most connected to their profile page, best game, most interactive titled player, biggest troll, biggest chessgames supporter, drama queen or even just most enjoyable personality. I find it at a loss to note all the great posters that I couldn't find categories to vote them in such as Ceri, Jim Bartle, Acirce, Eyal, boz, cro777, ROlfo, zzyod, kwid, kb2ct, imag, Nigel Short, Check It Out, jepflast, Tabanus, stunning move, Nickster and others. This our time to recognize folks... for all their character - both good and bad. And last but not least - a big thank you to Daniel Freeman for this website which I continue to support in anyway I can. Jan-03-13    The Last Straw: I nominate <jessicafischerqueen> for most informed. I nominate <morfishine> for most helpful. I nominate <OhioChessFan> for best avatar. Am I the only one who has nominated <The World> as player of the year? Jan-03-13    TheFocus: I nominate <chrisowen> for Best Analyst. Jan-03-13    morfishine: I nominate <TheFocus> for the Best Avatar I think its a Van Gogh painting, but I'm not sure I also nominate: Best analysis <Danlanglois> Best analysis <DcGentle> Best analysis <Ajile> Jan-03-13    hms123: <morfishine> Try this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sc... Jan-03-13    Tal7777777: I nominate <Anatoly Karpov> as player of the year. Jan-03-13    Annie K.: I nominate Fabiano Caruana as Player of the Year. More categories tomorrow or so. :) Jan-03-13    morfishine: Thanks <hms123>!
