(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... What is the flight path? Here are some ideas: https://www.flightroutes.com/CCU-AMS      Jan-06-26 Atterdag chessforum    WannaBe: <OCF> Not to mention when TV stations switch red (dem) and blue (rep) to what we know today... On a similar note, in Asia, if the stock shows red, it mean up, green, means down. Go fig.      Jan-04-26 OhioChessFan chessforum   WannaBe: This is for you, with some deeper insight on drone productions, Russian, and now with the cut-off of oil from certain S.

And why not? He is clearly the Chess Godfather of this site, and likely deserves, purely on his own merits, to win every single category every single year. He almost does anyway. I'm just suggesting we give others a chance to get a few awards too? There are people here who are also very well informed on chess who also deserve recognition for the great service they have done this website with that knowledge- Such as <Achieve>, for example. I remind you that we are allowed to "change our votes" before the deadline. I know because I changed mine frequently last year even though <WannaBe> almost killed me for it but it's still the rule. Jan-06-10    jessicafischerqueen: Right now the score for "best informed" is <achieve> 4 and <malthrope> 4. I urge you all to consider your votes carefully.
