 | | Domdaniel: Thanks, one and all, for the Caissar (*bursts into tears, confesses that it was a word-bot doing the so-called 'writing' all along...*) Meanwhile, I'd like to cast a vote for Open Defence aka Red October (aka Saint Deffi the Wise). For contributions to the construction industry, or whatever. Thank you. |

|
Dec-22-08
| | Domdaniel: Games collection (if ughaibu's snotnosed brats are disqualified): a vote for Jessicafischerqueen (English ...Bc5). |
|
| Dec-22-08 | | square dance: best games collection: <KingG> |
|
| Dec-22-08 | | achieve: And naturally my vote for Best Chess Game Collections goes to: KingG's Game Collections |
|
| Dec-22-08 | | square dance: i would encourage everybody to take a look at <KingG>'s game collections before they make their vote. impressive stuff. |

 | | jessicafischerqueen: <square dance: i would encourage everybody to take a look at <KingG>'s game collections before they make their vote. impressive stuff> I'd have to second this opinion-- I was unaware of <KingG> collections until the Caissars, which may in my case be the most valuable single aspect of this year's awards. I voted <suenteus po> same as last year, due to his work in constructing, and organizing others with constructing, comprehensive tournament and match collections which are invaluable to the chess historian. <KingG> collections are indeed grand, as <SD> suggests--- very detailed historical/analytical information is given along with the games. Also, in case anyone has forgotten, the greatest <tactics-oriented> collections are by <Noteyetagm>, and <chessmoron> has an amazing collection of <Olympiad games collections> |
|
Dec-22-08
| | Domdaniel: Maybe, heh, the <Games Collection> Caissar should also be split up. Best Traditional GC: KingG
Best GC comedy: ughaibu
Best GC newcomer: JessicaFischerQueen
Best historical GC ... etc.
My actual vote stays with Jessica, despite her demurs, on 'newcomer' grounds. And I'm an English fan. The opening, anyway. |

| Dec-22-08 | | hms123: most constructive: Open defence
best collection: KingG, suenteus po

Nope you won officially.
When mutliple votes are cast by the same voter in a given category, the weight of the vote is converted to a fraction. So, you in fact won with
<3.0> votes.
<Branko> garnered <2.66 (repeater)> in total. |

| Dec-22-08 | | malthrope: Jess -- all seeing, all knowing writes to inform me: <JFQ: <Mal> Nope you won officially.
When mutliple votes are cast by the same voter in a given category, the weight of the vote is converted to a fraction. [...]> OK - I fully understand that (I was always a 'wiz' at fractions!). ~lol~ If those are indeed the official "Caissar Awards" rules then the 'fractions' favor me! ~lol~ Thanks Jess for explaining that... :) Woot Mal! :^) Then I must now "Thank You" all! :) And, if I may -- I'd like to share this prestigious and coveted award for "Best Historian" with <brankat>, <Karpova> and <Calli> -- 3 of the BEST! :))) ________________________________________
Moving right along...
Hmm, knowing that here now are my votes for the next two caterpillars... Caissar Awards <Official Votes> 2008 Best Game Collection(s): <KingG>, <Benzol> & <suenteus po 147> Most Constructive Kibitzer(s): <brankat>, <achieve> & <SwitchingQuylthulg> PS: That is all until tomorrow when our final votes for the last two caterpillars are cast! ;) |
