Prizes for contributions to the crazyhouse chess community during 2019!

my favourite channel of crazyhouse is the one of jannlee ;p but since he give the prizes i cant nominate him for this i just said 3 names but to make a top 4 than i would like to add mugwort for a quality content aswell

@blunderman1 The guy who implemented the crazyhouse rules in Stockfish was me, but as you mentioned that was already in 2016.

I second the nomination of gbtami for building pychess-variants.herokuapp.com/ (where you by the way can now also play rated zh960 games).

Besides the pre-mentioned streamers and contributors:
Okei, TheFinnisher , Mugwort, gbtami
(I would also nominate JannLee if this is possible.)

I also enjoyed the viewer tournaments and streams by pepellou and JoannaTries.

Additionally, I appreciate the work by Toadofsky, ubdip and niklasf for continuously improving Multi-Variant-Stockfish, Fairy-Stockfish and fishnet.

I appreciate the kind words and nominations under my name @JannLee. Of course, happy to continue hearing kind words, but as distributor of this particular initiative, my name is the only one which will be excluded from consideration.

I have received plenty of direct support from our community donors on twitch. In recent years I have attempted to distribute funds in the form of prizes for fellow players to encourage healthy competition. This is now an opportunity to start distributing the community's support to fellow content creators and contributors.

For me to accept a prize from a nomination would effectively reduce the capacity of the opportunity above, which is a small start to begin with. We stand better by supporting the efforts of many rather than few. This is about distribution, not concentration.

Phenomenal to see the volume and variety of nominations, please keep them coming!

I would nominate colwem who programmed the zh league website and put many hours into helping run the zh league.
zh.lakin.ca/zhteam/

I would nominate TheFinnisher for all the work he puts into the zh community: running events, keeping spreadsheets updated.

gbtami and ProgramFox for making zh960 possible (where lichess turned it down) on http://pychess-variants.herokuapp.com and http://chessvariants.training respectively (the latter site has tagging of crazyhouse puzzles by theme which we have been working on)

Since Jann is excluding himself, Mugwort & pepellou for streaming zh, and Kleerkast too who was very active in the first half of 2019.

Kleerkast and Mugwort streams are awesome!
Okei is doing lots of job for Zh!
I would nominate colwem and The Finnisher also

I would like to nominate @okei @Mugwort @catask @thefinnisher and @JannLee. Thank you guys for inspiring me to play zh and for your participation in zh community life.

i would like to nominate also the finnisher catask the finnisher for his elite zh arenas and catask for his studies on crazyhouse
and mastertan for also sponsering the match of the year jann vs jasugi99.

I would like the nominate okei, mugwort and the Finnisher! Also agree with opper that JL is still my favourite zh channel
