I don't think there's a big problem here – identifying "first-category" newcomers. The reports show that sometimes it's clear after their first post or after a conversation.
That's not necessarily true. Uran and Duj were excellent players, consistently in the top three on the forum, but their reports were terribly formatted, worse than any newcomer. You could also name strong players who write poor reports.
And I've read many wonderful posts from newcomers about the games, written interestingly, грамотно, and with passion; skill is something that can be developed.
PS. To avoid deviating from the main topic, could we move the conversation to a separate thread?
PS 2. But overall, it's a great idea; maybe we could make the title "best newcomer HW 200... year" prestigious.
