| Dec-08-10 | | redorc19: Hi, <WannaBe>. I don't know if you would remember (you probably wouldn't) but you once commented on a game: "Hmm, I wonder if this Queen sac was theory back then." In the game, white plays a queens pawn opening and eventually sacs his queen for a win; I don't remember much else about it and I was wondering if you know the game. It didn't have much kibitzs and white won. If you could,, please see if you could tell me what it is. I've been trying to find it for ages, so please just try to remember. Redorc19 |

| Dec-08-10 | | redorc19: BTW, I know my request is unreasonable, but just in case........ |

P Zilles vs V Kutsankov, 2005 (black won) D Kosic vs S Cvetkovic, 1994 (black won) Conquest vs B Thorfinnsson, 2000 (white won) Kasparov vs M Bosboom, 1999 (black won) |

English people always start wars. If only I came from a more peaceful country- such as Germany or Japan, for example. |

I forget what deal we made- it didn't involve 20 dollars is all I can remember. But I did promise. |

 | | jessicafischerqueen: Also I nominate <crawfb5> for best historian. He has spent the better part of a year reconstructing games and tournament results and associated history that document virtually all of the "lost era" in American chess. Note his new games collections on the early American congresses and matches- note especially the extraordinary amount of information in the written introductions to these collections: crawfb5's Game Collections |

 | | jessicafischerqueen: I nominate <achieve> for most helpful kibbutzer on the grounds that of all the many helpful members, he's the guy you'd most want next to you in foxhole. |
|
| Dec-22-10 | | hms123: Best Historian: <crawfb5> for sure. He really put in a lot of work and worked closely with the other wonderful historians at the site. |

| Dec-22-10 | | NakoSonorense: The Corvette ZR1 3ZR is gorgeous, but I'd prefer the new 2011 Camaro convertible. It's jaw-droppingly beautiful! |
