Jan-16-26 WannaBe chessforum   WannaBe: 12m in. Not impressed      Jan-16-26 Chessgames - Politics    WannaBe: Zed's dead. Zed's dead. (if one is to go down the 'Pulp Fiction' path) "That is A tasty burger!!"      Jan-16-26 Chessgames - Sports    WannaBe: Kershaw will pitch for Team USA in World Baseball Classic in March https://www.yahoo.com/sports/mlb/br...      Jan-14-26 Chessgames - Odd Lie    WannaBe: This one is from Henry Cho: "I'm changing the caller ID of my wife's phone number to Potential Spam" If you have not seen or heard of Henry, he is worth some of your time on YouTube.      Jan-14-26 Dickson    WannaBe: Apparently, it was a "far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known"      Jan-12-26 Fischer vs V Pupols, 1955    WannaBe: I was thinking baseball bat, tire iron, or brass knuckles.      Jan-11-26 Tata Steel Masters (2026)    WannaBe: So, the Tata Steel blitz were held in India, and players have 6 days to fly to NED for the next (or 2026 first) major event...

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 265 OF 750 ·  Later Kibitzing> Dec-16-07    jessicafischerqueen: Hey! where do I read the results for <best historian>? And what does the <prestigious and coveted> MannBee Award actually look like? I want to see a picture!! Regards, Insane Olde Batte Dec-16-07    Open Defence: <And what does the <prestigious and coveted> MannBee Award actually look like? > its a couple of tickets to Khanty-Minsk with long thermal underwear thrown in Dec-16-07    MarkThornton: Am I too late to nominate <isemeria> for the Best Analyst (non-Computer category) prize. Dec-16-07    MarkThornton: If I am too late to vote for <isemeria>, then my vote will go to <Thorsson>. Dec-16-07    achieve: My vote for best analyst goes to <Brankat> ... although I should have made an equal split by including <Open Defence> in the nomination round. Dec-16-07    Open Defence: thanks <achieve> i vote for <Brankat> too Dec-16-07    ahmadov: My best analysis vote is <YouRang> for his very deep, detailed and clear explanation of moves... Dec-16-07    square dance: my vote for best analysis is split between <honza> and <mateo>. honza has been doing great analysis on this site for years and is rightfully recognized at the end of each year via these awards/nominations. as for mateo, my eyes always auto focus to his posts during live cg.com events. he may be crafty incarnate. ;-) great job by both of you guys, not to mention all of the nominees and all of the users who contribute with their analysis. Dec-16-07    TheAlchemist: It's always hard to decide, but I'll cast my vote for <Ezzy> Dec-16-07    WannaBe: <jessicafischerqueen> I always announce the winner in the Cafe at midnight (server time). The history, of Caissar, it started with User: Nikolaas (see his profile) and last year, he couldn't do it, due to schedule, so I volunteered to do it. This year, I posted a couple of messages in the Cafe, asking if he was doing it or not, and did not receive any reply. So, I'm volunteering to do it again this year, but <Nikolaas> is always welcome to take it back and resume it. As far as I know, there are no 'statues' or certificates, given to the winner, just announcements (in the Cafe, and if the winner have their forum open, I'll post a notice there too. Example, Red October) Dec-16-07    WannaBe: <MarkThornton: Am I too late to nominate <isemeria> for the Best Analyst (non-Computer category) prize.> Yes, unfortunately. =( <MarkThornton: If I am too late to vote for <isemeria>, then my vote will go to <Thorsson>. > Counted, noted, got it. =) Dec-16-07    Larsker: Best analysis: <dzechiel>. I enjoy his musings every day - and I like his honesty, admitting when he goes wrong. Dec-16-07    whiteshark: I can't but follow 'square dance' and split between <honza> and <mateo>. Dec-16-07    valiant: Bäst Analys: <Mateo> och <Brankat> (I wish to thank Mateo for all Ulf Andersson games analyses - stort tack!) Dec-16-07    YouRang: Split vote: <dzechiel> for work on daily puzzles. <whatthefat> for work on GMT game. Dec-16-07    OhioChessFan: I ditto <YouRang> plaudits, but my vote goes to <The Chess Express> for his heroic efforts in the Battle of the Brains. You'd also learn a lot by going to his forum and following his analysis of 100's of games. Dec-16-07    twinlark: <whatthefat> for best analyst. Dec-16-07    keypusher: Historian: Calli & Resignation Trap. There's a good argument for calling it the SBC Chess History award <or> giving it to her every year. I'll vote for Mateo for analysis. Dec-16-07    keypusher: Yes, actually following whiteshark, I should split analysis between Mateo and Honza. Though there are lots of worthy people. Dec-16-07    keypusher: You know, if there is a most helpful kibitzer/member award, I vote for you, wannabe. Dec-16-07    WannaBe: <keypusher> I'll take your second post as the vote (the split one) and yes, there is a helpful category, that's up for vote Tuesday. Dec-17-07    ahmadov: Best handle is <notyetagm>... Dec-17-07    achieve: <Laskereshevsky> for best handle. Dec-17-07    suenteus po 147: My vote for best handle goes to <Phony Benoni>.
