Nobel Prize in Chess 2016

So you're saying that my current 111 (and counting) consecutive wins (112 if you count a correspondence game I won a few days ago - I don't because the game started before the beginning of the streak) don't qualify me for the prize? Surely I deserve it more than someone who may not have played a single game of chess this year!

He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1985.
Just wait. Sooner or later, it will happen.

Wasnt Alfred Nobel the dude that wanted to create a euthanasia hotel? A hotel where you had fun for one day and then killed yourself?
You may think that the different Nobel Prizes were all created after Alfred Nobel's death. However, this is not true. The Nobel Prize in Economics was established in 1968, as a wat for the central bank of Sweden to celebrate its 300th anniversary.
So, why would not it be possible to create more Nobel Prizes?
What about one for chess? Let's face it, the Chess Oscar is a stupid name. Somebody should ask for permission to rename it, and call it Nobel Prize in Chess. I am sure the Swedish will not oppose, as the Nobel Prize in Chess would certainly be less ridiculous than other prizes (cough Peace).
As I am the first to propose this wonderful idea, I will nominate a candidate.
Well, that would certainly be stupid. It would be better if I chose the first winner, because the Swedish (or the FIDE?) need some clues to do it correctly.
Are you ready?
The winner is...
