I'm going to have to disagree, batgirl. You were mentioned oftenWink

Thanks, but if I'm among the best, it's only because I pick my friends judiciously and often find myself among them.

Really, the best Chess.com members are the people who contribute their energy, time, knowledge and opinion on the world of chess. And then the people who are genuinely and consistently good-natured, where they bring light into the site. And then the people with a good sense of humour and wit, who give us more laughs than not. In my tiny view:)

I find the best members to be intelligent without being sophists, to be helpful without being patronizing, to be kind without being sacrimonious and to be clever without being cruel.  Really, the very best members are those who bring out the best in others.

@whipkitten: Lucky, and you got asked to be a moderator, and you won CPOTM while only using your avatar! You're definitely one of the legends of Chess.comWink

I should say, you brought out the best in me.

So it's better than mine without you even trying?Laughing

Several did. Martin_Stahl, baddogno, MortalWombat and yourself, among others. And me Laughing Not sure if all the really good members got included but quite a lot did.

I nominate Caedrel, because I didn't before and I'm not sure if he was one who got left out or not.
