< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 36 OF 89 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jan-04-14    Shams: Caissar offseason to-do list: photoshop the Oscar avatar into something a little more chessy.

Best Avatar : <twinlark>: that dog with glasses always gets me. 2. Best Username : <SwitchingQuylthulg>, <Everyone> 3. Most Helpful : <whiteshark>, <wordfunph> 5. Funniest Poster : <PinnedPiece> - the work he's done at the Rogoff page is one of the funniest routines around. 6. Most Constructive : <Random Visitor>, <Phony Benoni> --- I'll second <Shams> on most informed and <imag> and <kwid> for Best Analysis Jan-05-14    FSR: I second the nomination of User: hedgeh0g as <Funniest Kibitzer>. Jan-05-14    offramp: For outstanding equanimity and humour in the face of seemingly insurmountable attacks, and for constantly maintaining a Lennon-like adherence to personal principles when those around him have failed ... For Funniest Poster I nominate <Mark Finan>. Jan-05-14    FSR: Point of clarification: does "funniest" kibitzer mean <funny ha ha> or <funny strange>? Jan-05-14    offramp: Funniest Poster II. For throwing spanners in the works of discussions that have forgotten that chess is just a game. For shattering walls of bombast and gravitas with tewhatewhas of humour and taiahas of levity: Funniest Poster: <Richard Taylor>. Jan-05-14    offramp: Best Username: <SetNoEscapeOn>. A cryptic puzzle that I have not yet solved. Whenever I see it I think, "What does it mean?" Jan-05-14    Shams: <offramp> Click here if you'd like to have the mystery solved: http://www6.chessclub.com/help/noes... Alternately, leave it to your imagination. The truth is always somewhat boring. Jan-05-14    offramp: I haven't seen his name mentioned - but I could be wrong. He could be in many categories but for me he is: Most Informed <User: SimonWebbsTiger> Jan-05-14    offramp: Most helpful kibitzer: <Shams>. Jan-05-14    offramp: Best Historian:<User: crawfb5> Jan-05-14    offramp: Even "Under Construction" this is a great Games Collection: <Game Collection: Stanley - Rousseau 1845 match>. Jan-05-14    The Last Straw: Nominate <Vladimir Kramnik> as Player of the Year. Jan-05-14    hms123: <Best profile> <TheFocus> Jan-05-14    hms123: <Best Historian> <crawfb5> Jan-05-14    Domdaniel: Player of the year: Magnus Carlsen.

Annie does all the work and they get to rest. Jan-05-14    Annie K.: <Ohio> it's hard work being King, but somebody has to do it, eh? ;) Besides, they'll need the rest - after the nomination stage, they'll have to start doing some work too. :p Heh. Not much new since yesterday here, so I'm not sure an update is needed today... Jan-05-14    Penguincw: Last 2 nominations for <Best/Worst Puns> D Raheb vs H R Jung, 2008 <They Tried to Make Me Go to Raheb> and V Osnos vs J Yuchtman, 1969 <Called Out for Interference> Jan-05-14    Annie K.: <offramp> just to clarify, are you nominating crawfb5's collection for Best Collection, or just explaining why you nominated him for Best Historian? Jan-05-14    Annie K.: I second <Jess> in nominating Game Collection: 1970 Buenos Aires by <TheFocus> for Best Game Collection. However, seeing as his entire profile contents were added in 2014, I don't think he is technically eligible for Best Profile this year.
