Poor Hank...This is to let you know that I will spend some time reading your award winning blog, sir! So many blogs-so little time...
One of the things I like about these awards is that I am introduced to new writers and articles. The winner of CJA Best Historical Article Award
is: A Forgotten Chess Tale: Hapley's Project
By Yasser Seirawan
appeared in Northwest Chess (November 2010)
So I went to the Northwest Chess website in order to print out the winning article only to find this: November
NWC_201011_opt.pdf (All pages except Seirawan story)
Cover photo:
Grandmaster Yasser Seirawan by Jeroen van den Belt
That's right, you can print out everything BUT the award winning article by GM Seirawan! Go figure...
Congratulations to Mark Taylor, editor of the still AWARD WINNING GEORGIA CHESS MAGAZINE!

You did not expect to win, did you?
"If nominated, I will not accept!"
Seriously, I received this from Mark Taylor, Editor of the award winning Georgia Chess magazine, and also editor of the Chess Journalists of America publication: "All candidates in the CJA Awards must be self-nominated. That's why they did not include your blog. I feel the awards still suffer from lack of sufficient representation. It's always been a problem. Things are improving, but slowly, slowly."
this guy could only hope to win "most insane chess blog"
