--a nice pic of the Pillman smoking a cigar.

Is that a vote for Reuben Fine? I'm confused....

Morphy

It's a fix.

Fisher

EDIT: Not Fischer :D Does the person have to be a strong player?

I found some people called Fisher.

Gyula Breier

The poll is gonna close in about a half hour!  Anyone wanna take this last chance to vote?

4 minutes left to vote!

Second for Lenny Bongcloud.  The mob has spoken.

The poll has CLOSED.  Since it is a tie and I break ties, I choose Pillsbury.

Like I said to ReasonableDoubt and oinquarki about a billion times, I do NOT accept Bongcloud votes anymore.
