[WILLIAM] SHAKEPEARE TROPHY: “Some great plays in there!”

AGATHA CHRISTIE TROPHY: “It’s a mystery to me why you didn’t win!”

ERIC MORECAMBE TROPHY: “All the right moves, but not necessarily in the right order!”

Silver Medal Position

You came THAT close to winning!

Don’t tell me you lost again!

You lost the game but – it could have been worse!

One of had to lose – and this time it was you!

Losing isn’t everything!

You’re not losing a chess game, you’re gaining a reputation.

Sometime you get the bear; sometimes the bear gets you!

You win some – you lose some.

Some you win, some you lose.

You’re better at losing than I am.

You’re better than me … at losing.

I was all set to lose – but you beat me to it.

You snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

No pain, no game!

You didn’t WIN – but you didn’t DRAW either!

The next best result to a win!

That would have been a win – with a few different moves.

You won it all – except the result.

You lost the game – but not your enthusiasm

To succeed – you must first fail.

"Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new." (EINSTEIN)

It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.

You tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is 'never try'. - Homer Simpson

How Many Roads Must A Man Walk Down Before He Admits He is lost?

There is a fine line between playing chess and just sitting staring at the board like an idiot.

INSURANCE: There are worse things in life than losing a game of chess. Have you ever spent an evening with an insurance salesman?

 Josh, you are doing a great job, keep it up bro or I wont pay you no more!

New survey suggestion:  If Erik ran for president of the United States, would you vote for him?

This is meant jokingly, but he does seem very popular--a few members wanted to send him a Christmas present a while back--I wish strangers would just mail me presents...

Someone with more time and ingenuity than me might like to create/find some images for these TROPHY ideas.

Wow, there are a ton of great tropy ideas in here! Thanks and keep em coming!

How about the biggest mouth of the Month or trimestre, with the Stones logo?

tunatin, what's the forum troll of the year???

i love this website

where'd my trophy idea go? it had a sweet and sentimental message

Florence Nightingale Trophy : "For all those who need to be patched up after a heavy defeat".

Charles Darwin Trophy : "Evolution of the pawn into the queen via promotion is something to be proud of!"

Two more to think of.

Cheers Zhane.

Supposing what is meant to be discussed are the voted-upon trophies, my opinion is that they are a joke and an embarrassment and should be either managed intelligently or abolished.  

Amen!!  Half the people listed as "Best Theme Designer" for example have NEVER designed a SINGLE theme on here!!!  How do they keep getting votes?  Someone really needs to supervise these "official" trophies otherwise they're a complete joke!!

Even tho they're a joke, I'll still take all the votes I can get for Best Group Manager of the Year.    Thanks.

"I'll still take all the votes I can get for Best Group Manager of the Year." 

Looks like you may have serious (genuine, not manufactured) competiton for Best Group Manager

"The Dark Knight"

A picture of batman for that of course.

At least he's got serious, not manufactured votes!
