We worked out the method to use and we played a 19 move game. If you check out the game then you would see how we did it. Here is the link

Ms Jean. I have written the piece already for my writers group. I will post it. I am not sure it will do it justice.
If any go to the "Blindfold link" they can see the game and the comments we made to each other. Funny after I found out he told me he was a kid. My attitude toward him changed because I thought he was a man,
My 10 yr old grandson who is in the 6th grade in San Diego called me and I told him what I was doing and asked him, "what should I do? Should I take it easy on him?"
Kai said, "Look Papa. You killed me at chess when I was five years old. I haven't beaten you yet."
"You forgot, but I killed you at chess when you were two years old." I said.
"So kill him. Papa." Kai said.
Here is the photo of my grandson playing me and checking when he was 2 1/2.
I didn't kill 1plus1is4. We played a nice game.
....u killed me :P

Okay. As for voting, I will take a different approach. Most people just say who they nominate and that's it, but I like suspense, so I will do it this way: I will go through the people who I will NOT vote for, one by one (I might to multiple people per post, though), and then after I am done, you will find out by process of elimination who I voted for.
OMG send me a message when its over
Nice new picture.

I think that we start voting on the Saturday 27th.
Is that correct? When does that day start?
At the international date line or in New York or China?
Maybe the start will be posted.

It is Saturday Morning the 27th of August.
So
I would like to nominate a young man, a 7th grader.
His handle is "1plu1is4"
Why?
He is probably the first young man to play a blindfold chess on this site.
On August 14th he posted his topic.

It caught my eye and I responded and he accepted. I didn't know at the time how old he was, but I knew how old I was. This was going to be a first for me also.

I didn't know his age until in the middle of the game he said, "after all I am just a kid." Then I checked his profile.
Game ended today August 23rd.
So I nominate him.
"1plus1is4"
I also nominate because I he is nice.

This is a major deja vu-- I could swear I've seen that whole nomination before, purple bug and all!
I nominate 1plus1is4 and trysts. I also considered duskrevival and TheMouse, though.
i vote for checkmate and denver because they are fun to be around
List:
trysts 1
oinquarki 1
roland
awyman
artfizz
paul211
TAUR_94
planeden
ozzie_c_coppleplot
cystem_phailure
DrSpudnik

1plus1is4 2
checkmateeibeatu 1
The_Chess_Ninja
erik
akintews
ilikeflags
batgirl
JSB79
iceberg
Joseph-S
Corrijean
We are voting now?
One for roland for his role in chess.com's recent hard-line against cheaters.
One for oinquarki for his role in making chess.com a funnier and more entertaining place.
Also, all of the 700 odd members who had their accounts closed for cheating during the month of August proxied their votes over to me just before the purge. They'd all like to vote for roland and oinquarki as well.
I vote for TheMouse and Corrijean
oinqi and roland
Just like TheGrobe told me to do. Did I do right, boss?
Who's a good boy?

Wow! It's here already! I didn't even finish my nominations
I'm voting for corrijean and joseph-s
(batgirl and ilikeflags already won)
I didn't know roland was instrumental in the new anti-cheating policy, but I trust TheGrobe and also believe this is an excellent thing, not least because this reasoning would probably really annoy Karl. So, I vote for roland, and for trysts for not being a fan of wanton murder.

That's funny? Why did you feel it necessary to give a reason why you voted for me? Are you feeling embarrassed by your vote?
