< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 454 OF 749 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jan-14-12    Benzol: <Best/Worst Pun> : Drawma Queen. Jan-14-12    morfishine: Best Pun: "I am not a Rook" Jan-14-12    Once: <Colonel Mortimer> Can I politely suggest that you arrange a pile of comfy cushions around yourself? If you are not sitting that you adopt a seated posture? That you ensure there are no sharp objects nearby? You see, I agree with you. Hope that wasn't too far to fall! No, I wouldn't ever vote for myself either, whether the rules allowed it or not. But that's just me and - by the sound of it - you too. If the rules allow it, then there can be no censure for those who do vote for themselves. As TD says, thems is the rules. Best analysis: We've got some fabulous analysts on this site, so it's very hard to pick a favourite. But I'm going to define "best" here as most helpful analysis rather than most exhaustive. And on that basis, my vote goes to <dzechiel>, who is as much a part of my morning routine as a cup of coffee and breakfast. Worst pun: Was there really a "The proof is in the Blu-Ding"??? Kerching. That gets my vote. Spectacularly awful. Jan-14-12    batongol: Maybe it's just too late...but I would like to manifest my votes for... <wordfunph> - most constructive <nanobrain> - analysis Jan-14-12    Check It Out: Pun: <Drawma Queen> Analysis: <dzechiel> Jan-14-12    kardopov: my vote: wordfunph for the most constructive Jan-14-12    shivasuri4: Best analyst:<dzechiel>.

Jan-14-12    FSR: Best Analyst: The incomparable <DrMAL> Best Pun: I Am Not A Rook The pun is an allusion to U.S. President Richard Nixon's (in)famous speech in which he stated "I am not a crook." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sh16... The game was played by R. Nixon, in 1973 (the same year as Nixon's speech), and it featured a sacrifice of rook for bishop by the winner. R Nixon vs A Anselmo, 1973 You don't get much better than that. Jan-14-12    technical draw: Best pun: I am not a rook. Jan-14-12    TiburcioTinio: <NANOBRAIN> for best analysis, both ways, all categories! Jan-14-12    hms123: <Wannabe> Thank you very much for running this great contest. You have done a marvelous job of broadening the range of members who participated. While I know that some have tried to make it difficult, your hard work and good cheer are greatly appreciated. <Illigitemi non carborundum> I would also like to thank all of those who voted for me as <most helpful>. It is refreshing to be reminded about what a nice community there is present at the chessgames.com site.
