WannaBe: < perfidious: At least the username User: Bishoprick is displayed in full, unlike that of User: farticchio, whose content is automatically blocked from the kibitzing page cos of someone's fixation on the first four letters of the name. Perhaps the user should have been informed ...

  jessicafischerqueen: Hey! where do I read the results for <best historian>?

And what does the <prestigious and coveted> MannBee Award actually look like?

I want to see a picture!!

Regards,
Insane Olde Batte

Dec-16-07  Open Defence: <And what does the <prestigious and coveted> MannBee Award actually look like? > its a couple of tickets to Khanty-Minsk with long thermal underwear thrown in
Dec-16-07  MarkThornton: Am I too late to nominate <isemeria> for the Best Analyst (non-Computer category) prize.
Dec-16-07  MarkThornton: If I am too late to vote for <isemeria>, then my vote will go to <Thorsson>.
Dec-16-07  achieve: My vote for best analyst goes to <Brankat>

... although I should have made an equal split by including <Open Defence> in the nomination round.

Dec-16-07  Open Defence: thanks <achieve> i vote for <Brankat> too
Dec-16-07  ahmadov: My best analysis vote is <YouRang> for his very deep, detailed and clear explanation of moves...
Dec-16-07  square dance: my vote for best analysis is split between <honza> and <mateo>. honza has been doing great analysis on this site for years and is rightfully recognized at the end of each year via these awards/nominations. as for mateo, my eyes always auto focus to his posts during live cg.com events. he may be crafty incarnate. ;-) great job by both of you guys, not to mention all of the nominees and all of the users who contribute with their analysis.

  WannaBe: <jessicafischerqueen> I always announce the winner in the Cafe at midnight (server time).

The history, of Caissar, it started with User: Nikolaas (see his profile) and last year, he couldn't do it, due to schedule, so I volunteered to do it.

This year, I posted a couple of messages in the Cafe, asking if he was doing it or not, and did not receive any reply.

So, I'm volunteering to do it again this year, but <Nikolaas> is always welcome to take it back and resume it.

As far as I know, there are no 'statues' or certificates, given to the winner, just announcements (in the Cafe, and if the winner have their forum open, I'll post a notice there too. Example, Red October)

  WannaBe: <MarkThornton: Am I too late to nominate <isemeria> for the Best Analyst (non-Computer category) prize.>

Yes, unfortunately. =(

<MarkThornton: If I am too late to vote for <isemeria>, then my vote will go to <Thorsson>. >

Counted, noted, got it. =)

Dec-16-07  Larsker: Best analysis: <dzechiel>. I enjoy his musings every day - and I like his honesty, admitting when he goes wrong.
Dec-16-07  whiteshark: I can't but follow 'square dance' and split between <honza> and <mateo>.
Dec-16-07  valiant: Bäst Analys: <Mateo> och <Brankat>

(I wish to thank Mateo for all Ulf Andersson games analyses - stort tack!)

Dec-16-07  YouRang: Split vote:

<dzechiel> for work on daily puzzles.

<whatthefat> for work on GMT game.

  OhioChessFan: I ditto <YouRang> plaudits, but my vote goes to <The Chess Express> for his heroic efforts in the Battle of the Brains. You'd also learn a lot by going to his forum and following his analysis of 100's of games.
Dec-16-07  twinlark: <whatthefat> for best analyst.

  keypusher: Historian: Calli & Resignation Trap. There's a good argument for calling it the SBC Chess History award <or> giving it to her every year.

I'll vote for Mateo for analysis.

  keypusher: Yes, actually following whiteshark, I should split analysis between Mateo and Honza. Though there are lots of worthy people.

  keypusher: You know, if there is a most helpful kibitzer/member award, I vote for you, wannabe.

  WannaBe: <keypusher> I'll take your second post as the vote (the split one) and yes, there is a helpful category, that's up for vote Tuesday.
Dec-17-07  ahmadov: Best handle is <notyetagm>...
Dec-17-07  achieve: <Laskereshevsky> for best handle.
Dec-17-07  suenteus po 147: My vote for best handle goes to <Phony Benoni>.
