This particular hurt/heal is based on the Undisputed Chess World Champions. You may post once a day maximum, and must both heal AND hurt in your post. When a champion reaches 0 life, he is eliminated. Then we see who is the last one standing! (Although obvious- you hurt who you dislike, and heal who you like! )
Standings-
Wilhelm Steinitz: 10
Emanuel Lasker: 10
Jose Raul Capablanca: 10
Alexander Alekhine: 10
Max Euwe: 10

Unfortunately neither of those are options. Maybe if you become World Champion, you can vote for yourself. But at the moment, how about playing the game? 
Updated for Goldendog.
Perhaps I should point out, even if there's no-one on the list you dislike, come up with SOMEONE who annoys you for one game or something, I dont care... but you have to hurt someone! 
Heal Kasparov
Hurt lasker
Heal - Petrosian
Hurt - Fischer
Kasparov has taken the lead!
And Lasker is now bringing up the rear!
Updated up to Penguin. Now Alekhine is in the lead... hopefully trends begin to develop soon!
Interesting game.
Heal- Vladimir Kramnik
Hurt- Robert Fischer
