I don't much like the look of rule#3. I may have inadvertantly disqualified myself from entering.
What are we getting for Christmas?
Sort:
Online Fischer-random chess, I rekon, correspondance and live. More of a wish than an accurate guess.
3-dimensional Chess Board, please?

Don't forget: this isn't a wishlist; use your letter to Santa Clause for that (or Wishlist#4). This is a competition involving skill and judgement, to forecast what goodies ARE BEING WRAPPED for us by chess.com - EVEN AS WE SPEAK.
A pony.
And they'll wrap it cunningly so it looks like a bike.

When my father was quite young, he went outside one Christmas morning, and saw a pile of horse dung in the road outside his house. His father told him that Santa Claus had brought him a pony - but that it had escaped.

We can already do that by paying as little as $29.95 / year.

Hello all,
How about the comprehensive personal profile that was discussed in the "Who is player X" post.

It looks like they'll be no present for you, rjfordham. A pity. Oh well, never mind.
A guess-the-move program that uses games of grandmasters and scores you on your accuracy, or at least the soundness of the move. Similar to the same program in another premium website that has a huge game base. If I'm right, I probably will let my subscription to that site expire and just rely on chess.com.
At the risk of spoiling Erik's surprises, can we figure out WHICH NEW FEATURE(S) chess.com is going to deliver in time for Christmas? (I think it would be a nice seasonal gesture if Erik awarded a small prize to whoever guesses correctly).
