	I am 4 days in this forum, so I can't really choose.. However, after reading Micawber's analysis on a Berlin endgame I got hooked.. So I vote Micawber for now.

	Looks like MNb wins the "title" of Best Debater on the ChessPub forum according to the poll, with Alumbrado coming a close second! Well done to both MNb and Alumbrado, who almost always write meaningful and useful posts on this forum.

	The eponymic TopNotch is the Federer of these forums.

	I know I've made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal. I've still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission.

	Hi, I vote Alumbrado as the best debater.He is really good!

	Winning isn't being first but by doing better than what you did in the past.

	I propose something about the BDG!

	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.

Then we should pick a topic for them to debate in a new thread, and after they've gone mano 'a' mano, we can vote.

	You should remove the ones with the least amount of voices and, if equal, then the ones with the least amount of posts. Nevertheless, the newcomers will inherit the voices their predecessors received, which will trunc the validity of the results. By the way, I see that Alumbrado and Mnb are now equal first.

	I voted for alumbrado, but there are many that provide a great forum. I was very impressed with 22...b4 in that particular line of Scholar's (where is he?). In worldnet chess site, Alonso Quixano managed to put me off my solution of the 9.0-0-0 in dragon. The truth is, hardly any game is won in the opening, although I have managed to do so fairly often with white... But, I agree that your chess strength diminishes, as other areas are neglected... Of course Toppy is a master, although his sarcasm could become too spicy for some. But it provides some great fun too, even if it was laughing at my KG's

	For me the best debater is not only sending analysis but the quality of the debate and I vote for IM John Cox. But others like Fernando Semprum can be on the list too. Another important quality to me, is to be a sportsman and not beeing rude to others! Maybe another interesting thread is the lemon cup!

	It has been said that chess players are good at two things, Chess and Excuses. It has also been said that Chess is where all excuses fail! In order to win you must dare to fail!

	I won't have internet access in the next 5-6 days, so I'll probably close the poll when I return.

	He has had my vote from the get-go and I am more than happy to share the silver medal with Micawber and Willempie - although I am concerned that the Dutch are scoring so well in the debating stakes. I suppose they have to be good at chewing things over in order to be able to digest their rubbery cheese ...

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

	Since this poll is starting to die down, should I close it and thus declare MNb the "winner" of the poll?
