Jerome Gambit: Chess.com Awards Awarded



A couple of weeks ago, in the Chess.com Awards post on this blog, I mentioned that Chess.com was asking their readers to vote for

Player of the Year

Woman Player of the Year

Creator of the Year

Game of the Year

Move of the Year

Rising Star of the year

ChessKid of the Year

Commentator of the  Year

Event of the Year

Member of the Year

Book of the Year

Chessable Course of the Year

In a manner both pluckish and puckish, I suggested that Readers of this blog write in the name of this blog for Creator of the Year.

The results?

To quote from the Chess.com website

If the third time is a charm, [Levy] Rozman is definitely looking charming. For the third consecutive year, the man behind YouTube's biggest chess channel has won the Creator of the Year award. Spearheading chess content creation, Rozman has also found the time to write a book, commentate on major events, and make it to Forbes' 30 under 30 list.

The finalists were given as

1st: IM Levy Rozman

2nd: WFM Anna Cramling

3rd: GM Hikaru Nakamura

Very strong competition.

I tip over my King.

Many thanks to Readers who took up this blog's cause.
