WannaBe: <perfidious> Well, ABC did show Star & Stripes and State of WI flag on top of the stadium blowing really good. I need to do some research on how a stadium/bowl affects the wind flow when it goes over the top and flows down (Like how wind blow over the Rockies and goes ...

   Nov-11-25 WannaBe chessforum

WannaBe: So there I am minding my own bidness, reading Michael Connelly's latest novel "The Proving Ground" (big fan of his books) and I saw this article today https://www.sfgate.com/tech/article... Just like what is happening in the book.

WannaBe: <keypusher> I personally would not waste my time here, Kangaroo Court.

   Nov-04-25 United States Championship (1984)

WannaBe: It was a nice day and De Firmian-Kudrin decided to play 2... Okay, I'll shut-up and leave now. Let y'all smart(er) people figure it out. 😁♟️

WannaBe: Another 'Just Curious Question', I am a fan of Michael Connelly books, them Harry Bosch and Lincoln Lawyer series. In the past, there's Scott Turow and I'm sure may others that focuses on law(er). I a curious on how realistic (aside from creative imaginations) you find ...

WannaBe: Another not important thing that I noticed, as a premium member when I visit ChessGames.com Statistics Page page, I see ads. Not that a big deal. Sure CG.com have more important things to fix.

Jan-07-12		WannaBe: <harrylime> As others have posted, if member(s) have <YOU> on ignore, there is nothing you or I, or anyone can do much about it. Most likely, 99.999999999% guaranteed, you will not get their vote(s). If member(s) have <ME> on ignore, they will not see my posts, but they can still post in my forum, and I will see their post(s). And they can see my name being referenced, and they can also see the big banner/ad on the home page announcing Caissar Award. If I have member(s) on my ignore list (currently, population is 0, there are some that I would like to add to my list, but due to the 'fairness' required, no one is on my list). Hence, anyone can post in my forum and nominate/vote for anyone else they wish. Does this answer all your questions in regards to this affair?

Jan-07-12		whiteshark: <FWIW> WannaBe: <...but they can still post in my forum> No Sir, that's not possible. You get the following message: "ERROR: You cannot post to this chessforum. You have WannaBe on your ignore list."

Jan-07-12		Domdaniel: Anyone who had <WannaBe> on ignore would have missed the WannaBe Gambit, a key piece of 21st century opening theory. Apart from that, anyone putting the Wabbit on Ignore is hitting the wrong buttons. Anyhow, time to be public-spirited and answer a question. It's from 'Yam Beat' with an address in the Windy City. Hmmm ... Chicago or Baguio, Yam? <Who is caissar anyway? > Silly question, as anyone with a titter of wit can do their own googling. But I’m feeling helpful today. First you need to grasp the concept of the neologism, or made-up word. Tracing the roots is easy, if you know a little about chess: http://www.caissa.com/about/who-is-... (Anyone who’s uneasy with worshipping a Thracian Dryad can leave now) or about awards: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academ... Now the easy bit: Caissa + Oscar = Caissar. Lewis Carroll, a fine chess puzzler in his day, called this kind of invented word a ‘portmanteau’: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portma... Will that be all? Or will selected extracts from <Voting for Dummies> need to be posted?

Jan-07-12		ray keene: i am not sure i read widely enough to be qualified to vote-but its nice to have been nominated under the "constructive " category! thanks

Jan-07-12		Shams: <i am not sure i read widely enough to be qualified to vote> Would that every American ask himself this question.

Jan-07-12		WannaBe: <whiteshark> Thanks for that bit o' info! Now, how do I get to my ignore list to start adding people...

Jan-07-12		technical draw: Flash from the past!: <Dec. 27, 2010> <Once: Heck, can we just give <TD> the funniest kibitzer award and skip all the electioneering? Next he'll be wheeling out a cute puppy dog and the inevitable celebrity endorsement...> Thanks Once....

Jan-07-12		jessicafischerqueen: Nominations, these will be "fresh" as in not already nominated Best Historian <crawfb5> for his groundbreaking work this year and last year in American chess history: crawfb5's Game Collections Best avatar <AnnieK> Most constructive <SwitchingQuylthulg> Funniest <crawfb5>, for his "will work for scale" alone, and much more. Most helpful <boomie> Best analyst <Richard Taylor> Best profile <brankat> Most informed <FSR> Best games collection <crawfb5> Best avatar <FSR> (that's his real self in his photo now, that's the one I nominate. He looks a bit like McGruff, the Crime Dog, which is pretty impressive if you think about it).

Jan-07-12		LaFreak III: can i nominate myself for all categories?

Jan-07-12		WannaBe: <LaFreakIII> There are no rules against it.

Jan-08-12		FSR: Hmm, somehow no one's ever compared my visage to that of McGruff the Crime Dog before. http://www.google.com/search?q=mcgr... I <guess> I'll take that as a compliment. Does that make me the "law and order" candidate?

Jan-08-12		WannaBe: McGruff does not have mustache...

Jan-08-12		matebay: <Domdaniel: Anyhow, time to be public-spirited and answer a question. It's from 'Yam Beat' with an address in the Windy City. Hmmm ... Chicago or Baguio, Yam?> You've been to Baguio?http://www.google.com.ph/search?tbm...

Jan-08-12		matebay: http://www.traveltothephilippines.i... Nice view...yeah?

Jan-08-12		harrylime: <WannaBe> Yeah thanks for the reply.. I was'nt 100 percent serious really.. more tongue in cheek although I still think the 'ignore' option is kinda self defeating and anti democratic ! But yes it's been put to bed ..

Jan-08-12		matebay: <nanobrain: With this intellectual arrogance that he had exhibited shamelessly here, he should at least split his funniest kibitzer award into two categories: 1. funniest kibitzer high-class, highbrow humor category; and 2. funniest kibitzer award, low-class, lowbrow category (for Asians and those in third-world countries). I'll be honored to win in the second category.> I hereby nominate <nanobrain> as funniest kibitzer in the second class category.

Jan-08-12		tpstar: Wow, the Barangay Wesley will do everything they can to disrupt the site awards. <WannaBe> Please find me on QueenAlice which has private messaging. We must address this sockpuppet problem.

Jan-08-12		nanobrain: I humbly accept the nomination for the funniest kibitzer award, low-class, lowbrow category.

Jan-08-12		MORPHYEUS: I'll accept the no-class, no-brow nomination. :)

Jan-08-12		Once: <WannaBe> Are you okay? Let me know if I can help.

Jan-08-12		hms123: <WannaBe> < Are you okay? Let me know if I can help.> Same here. btw, a liberal use of the delete button (without comment) can work wonders.

Jan-08-12		technical draw: <Once: <WannaBe> Are you okay? Let me know if I can help.> That doesn't work. You still have to get the votes. I already tried it.

Jan-08-12		WannaBe: Me-a-fine, just watching football, and getting the ballots ready... =)
