Tony Rook - The sentimental winner, but come on. I like the guy, but he's been
learning on the job in a pretty brutal fashion. He often has absolutely nothing
to contribute in terms of background on the players, since he doesn't know any
of them, and he's too weak to really give deep insight on the games.
That being said, he invented a really awesome brand new medium for chess
journalism- the radio. He's more of a pioneer than a journalist, but maybe for
that he should win?

Tony Rook is hardly a "pioneer", and he didn't invent a "brand new
medium for chess journalism" - chess has been broadcast many times by
radio. I think he qualifies as a broadcast journalist, however.

I think someone is pulling your leg, George. My understanding is that
the accounting firm is NOT opening the ballots or examining them in any
fashion. They agreed to give a count of the number of ballots they
received, they have not been retained to validate or tabulate them.

I'm relieved to know that. Thanks, Mike.
