	You should also nominate SmyslovFan.

	Yusupov once said that “The problem with the Dutch Defence is that later in many positions the best move would be ...f5-f7” but he is surely wrong.

	So that means we have 7 nominations... In around 19 hours time from this post, I will close the nominations and start a poll, so that everyone can vote for the title of Best Chess Debater! Two nomination spots remaining...

	Only "Gods" mentioned so far... However there are also some that are not that active at the forum - but always delivers high quality chess posts that I dont want to miss: Bonsai and Geof_Strayer are of this category. I also would like to add Micawber for his contribution to the endgame section. I skip all his posts on Kramnik/Topalov though... I am sure there are other candidates but those were the first that I thought of...

	@Michael Ayton: In answer to your question: Who writes the best posts. One would have to write good posts in order to get their point across effectively. Currently I have four nominations. When I have six, I will start a poll and enable the voting to begin!

	A tough choice with so many prolific and persuasive posters (my apologies for the alliteration), but my vote goes to MnB.

	MNb and Willempie are my preferred. A lot of knowledge, good explanations and no arrogance.

	MNb wrote on 03/08/08 at 17:11:40: I nominate Alumbrado on the Dutch. LOL! (genuinely, for once): I was going to nominate ... MNb ... particularly for his knowledgeable posts on his beloved 'IZ' Dutch I feel there should be a passing mention, too, though for Markovich (for all that he is sometimes a bit bad-tempered!) and for TalJechin's contributions on the King's Gambit in particular

	If sometimes we fly too close to the sun, at least this shows we are spreading our wings.

	I nominate Alumbrado on the Dutch.

	Interesting question. By best 'debater' do you mean the one who's best at persuading others of the correctness of their arguments, or just the one who writes the best posts?

	Hello, I was curious to find out who people here think is the best debater on the ChessPub forum. If anyone wishes to nominate themselves, just post here (there is only one requirement: 100 or more posts). When there are enough nominations, I will create a poll where people can vote for a specific person.
