It is a bit embarrassing that we don't even have 24 artciles that we consider presentable on this enormous website, so that we have run out in 2 years. Either the site is in a very sorry state, or there is something wrong with our acceptance criteria.

There are plenty of eligible games on this site. The main issue is that nominations have mostly been for ineligible games. Instead of just picking favorites, it would help to start by looking for eligible games and picking from them. One place to start is with lists of games supported on ChessV, FairyMax, or Zillions-of-Games to find games with a fairly strong computer opponent available, then to check whether a game supported by one of these has also been programmed for Game Courier and has a record of games played online. If anyone favors an ineligible game, there is also the option of making it eligible. This can usually be done by programming it for Zillions-of-Games and/or Game Courier, and playing it online. As the creator of FairyMax, you have the option of adding support to FairyMax.
