The Caissars: Thank you for participating in the 2019 Caissars! We apologize for the very delayed start, which probably contributed to the difficulty of selecting deserving candidates, and will do our best to run the Caissars at the beginning of January in the future. <And now here are ...

Jan-23-16		chessmoron: I vote for <Wei Yi> for Player of the Year.

Jan-23-16		Golden Executive: <Karposian: <FSR> i have no one on ignore, and I get 8-8 too.> Me too, the admins have miscounted again.

Jan-23-16		offramp: The admins have NOT miscounted. The winner is the Botvinnik-Winter game. It is quite straightforward.

Jan-23-16		Golden Executive: I vote for <Magnus Carlsen> for Player of the Year. I vote for <D Khismatullin vs Eljanov, 2015> for Game of the Year.

Jan-23-16		Annie K.: I vote for <Wei Yi> for Player of the Year, despite his currently doing a great Leko impression at Tata. ;p That kid can play very interesting chess when he feels like it, he will be a name to be reckoned with very soon, and I think 2015 is the year he really "arrived" at the top. :) I vote for <W So vs Ding Liren, 2015> for Game of the Year. Oh, and I also vote for yesterday's result to have been 8-8. :p

Jan-23-16		juan31: I vote < Magnus Carlsen> Player of the Year

Jan-23-16		Deus Ex Alekhina: I urge CG to hire the reputable accounting firm of Dewey, Cheatem & Howe.

Jan-23-16		FSR: I think that's who they're using.

Jan-23-16		FSR: I vote for <D Khismatullin vs Eljanov, 2015> for Game of the Year.

Jan-23-16		waustad: I was sort of hoping some votes for the Long Black Veil, but after seeing the Tal quip I thought that was the best I'd seen. I didn't even get nominated.

Jan-23-16		Keyser Soze: I vote for <Magnus Carlsen> for player of the year I vote Navara vs R Wojtaszek, 2015 for the best game

Jan-23-16		Karposian: I vote for <Magnus Carlsen> for PLAYER OF THE YEAR. I vote for <W So vs Ding Liren, 2015> for GAME OF THE YEAR.

Jan-23-16		wordfunph: i vote for <D Khismatullin vs Eljanov, 2015> as game of the year.

Jan-23-16		FairyPromotion: <FairyPromotion: I vote for <Brace Yourself, Winter is Coming> for Best Pun.> <FairyPromotion: <Daniel Gong: I vote for <Wei Yi vs Lazaro Bruzon Batista> as GAME OF THE YEAR> I am literally in disbelief that this game wasn't nominated for Game of the Year.> When I said literally, I guess I literally meant literally. Yesterday I only came here to vote for <Mr. Georgiev, Wear Down this Tal!> for best pun. Literally. Glad that at least it ended in a tie, as OCF wished. Phony Benoni's creation was one for the ages.

Jan-23-16		FairyPromotion: I vote for <Wei Yi> for Player of the Year. I vote for <D Khismatullin vs Eljanov, 2015> for Game of the Year.

Jan-24-16		FSR: It'll be fun to see what winners chessgames.com mistakenly announce this time.

Jan-24-16		The Caissars: To get back to old business before concluding this affair, I recounted the pun several times and even went to the trouble of writing down the usernames who voted which way. I'll go over this again now to find my error, but I wouldn't want to rob you of the pleasure of doing the same, so here are my notes: <Mr. Georgiev, Wear Down this Tal!> Kiril D Georgiev vs Shaked, 1999 TheFocus SwitchingQuylthulg Keyser Soze YouRang WinKing zanzibar Check It Out <Brace Yourself, Winter is Coming> Botvinnik vs W Winter, 1936 FSR offramp Annie K. jessicafischerqueen hms123 Solomon2003 Karposian gauer FairyPromotion

Jan-24-16		FSR: I emphatically DID NOT vote for <Brace Yourself, Winter is Coming>. I emphatically did vote for <Mr. Georgiev, Wear Down This Tal!>

Jan-24-16		The Caissars: OK, that was easy to find :-/ There is a tie for the best/worst pun between both nominees <Mr. Georgiev, Wear Down this Tal!> and <Brace Yourself, Winter is Coming>. Apologies.

Jan-24-16		The Caissars: The winner of the 2015 BEST GAME award goes to D Khismatullin vs Eljanov, 2015. The winner of the 2015 PLAYER OF YEAR is a dead tie between Magnus Carlsen and Wei Yi. ♔ In the event you'd like to double check my counting, here are the votes: For Wei Yi: FSR, wordfunph, Fiona Macleod, chess moron, Annie K., FairyPromotion (6). For Magnus Carlsen: SwitchingQuylthulg, chancho, Golden Executive, juan31, Keyser Soze, Karposian (6) ♔ Thanks to everybody for participating in this affair and see you next year.

Jan-24-16		Penguincw: Uh, thanks <cg> for hosting the Caissars, an award ceremony where the drama surrounding it was probably more intense than the voting itself. See you next year, maybe. P.S. Really late, but thanks all for voting me for <Most Helpful>! :)

Jan-24-16		offramp: Did <FSR> change his vote? I was under the impression that he had voted for the brilliant <Prepare yourself for Winter> pun.
