hityerclock 26-Aug-11, 21:46	August entry I finally have a game I believe to be worthy of GotM consideration: game Featuring not one, but *two* exchange sacrifices! The annotation is here: gameknot.com Enjoy.
brigadecommander 26-Aug-11, 22:25	great game hityerclock!! your black squared Bishop did wonders!!! he kept re-appearing then stepping back and appearing again.Very nice.
kendo-ka 07-Sep-11, 03:02	July game of the month results Sorry they are so late here are the results for July. The scores are rounded up. Congratulations to sonata for winning July's game of the month.   sonata296 6.98 jstevens1 6.4 easy19 6.38 brigadecommander 6.13 l-d-j 5.98 charleshiggie 5.93
wildfiree 15-Sep-11, 23:26	Whoops My GK subscription ended so I couldn't post a reply, but I'm back on now   Thank you very much judges for choosing my game as GOTM, very honored especially the field was tough this time
wildfiree 11-Oct-11, 09:02	October GOTM My submission: game I quite liked my attack here, though it's a short game, I think it's very nice
jotheblackqueen 11-Oct-11, 14:12	Ah Ardin - nice pin! Hi Ardin That is a nice pin, or very nasty for your opponent. He will drop his queen for a rook which is a lot of material points behind so he does have sufficient grounds for resignation on the grounds of ruinous loss of material. Well played. Joanne
tennesseehiker 12-Oct-11, 02:40	One Judge Versus Three Judges The vote is in. Most judges agree that one judge is acceptable as opposed to three judges. I will soon solicit a judge for the month of October.
l-d-j 13-Oct-11, 05:02	What is a GOTM? Is it a game in which you come back from an almost lost position and finally manage to win when your opponent refuses to take a draw? Is it a game with an almost correct (winning, but not the best move in the position) sac in which your opponent loses quickly due to an oversight? Is it a game in which you sacrifice lots of material but miss some faster wins? This was the dilemma I faced when choosing my entry for september. I choose the latter: game because of the final combination. Honorable mentions go to game and game (by the way, with the last game I won the KOH Tournament VII Intermediate Tourney with a score of 12.5/20).
l-d-j 13-Oct-11, 05:03	One judge is OK I agree, one judge is enough... By the way, we still miss the results of the August GotM.
tennesseehiker 13-Oct-11, 10:01	GOTM GOTM stands for Game of the Month. I will consult the August judges.
l-d-j 13-Oct-11, 10:51	Hehe I know what GOTM stands for.. I was just wondering for myself what would be a good candidate to enter for this contest.
tennesseehiker 14-Oct-11, 04:10	Additional GOTM Judges Here is our current list of judges: pawnstar2010 kendo-ka brigadecommander sccadams andywm a_random_guy hityerclock pawnbyknight If anyone else is interested in becoming a judge, please send me a private message. While a single judge is now officiating each month, I will pair any new judge with one of the current judges to train you.
l-d-j 14-Oct-11, 04:49	Interested I'm interested, but only if I have the time. I'll post it if I have. Right now I'm busy with study, but there'll be times when I'm not.
pawnstar2010 27-Oct-11, 02:38	August results I have trawled back and forth through the August entries repeatedly and seemingly found more each time. Whether I am qualified to examine some of these higher rated games or not is probably debatable, but I reckon my understanding sound. 3rd place with a score of 6.75 goes to... l-d-j 2nd place with a score of 7.13 goes to... ionadowman And the winner, with a score of 7.50 is.... hityerclock This exciting game had everything! Positional mastery, tactical trickery, there were loaded weapons everywhere, not to mention two very clever exchange sacrifices. I think hityerclock's opponent could almost have entered the same game in GOTM - he did a sterling job staying on the board for as long as he did! Congratulations hityerclock, thanks for sharing such a great game. Thanks also to the other entrants for games that were also very good in their own right.
andywm 30-Oct-11, 11:07	GOM October here ya go... game
archduke_piccolo 30-Oct-11, 13:51	Congratulations... to hityerclock - deserved winner of the August Game of the Month.
brigadecommander 30-Oct-11, 14:08	very well deserved great game hityerclock!!!
l-d-j 31-Oct-11, 07:16	Agree I agree with brigadecommander and ionadowman. A deserved winner!
kendo-ka 19-Nov-11, 04:00	Game of the month October Hi everyone, sorry I've taken so long to judge October. I've just taken a look at the games again today. I have to say I'm surprised there is only two entries. I'm not sure I want to judge just two games for October. Perhaps if its ok some late entries for this month can be included. However if everyone decides that only the two games that where entered qualify I'll judge them as soon as I receive a reply.
l-d-j 20-Nov-11, 08:37	September? We're still missing the september GotM jugdment... So maybe you could judge those games?
hityerclock 20-Nov-11, 09:49	September GoTM There don't appear to be any September entries. Did I miss something?
l-d-j 20-Nov-11, 12:14	Hityerclock Interesting... I submitted mine on October 13th (I know, a little too late according to the official rules) but I seem to be the only one for September..
archduke_piccolo 20-Nov-11, 12:53	Guess... ... who wins sepember's GotM then!
brigadecommander 11-Dec-11, 17:00	Oct entry game
caknight 11-Dec-11, 18:48	December Game Here is a game that I just finished that I feel is a very good endgame study. For most of the middlegame I felt that my opponent could hold a draw. game

andywm 11-Dec-11, 18:58	GOM Oct Is kendo judging the 2 Oct games? I don't think I saw an answer from the decison makers.

caknight 12-Dec-11, 11:22	Miodrags Why did you copy my post & then insert your game?
archduke_piccolo 12-Dec-11, 12:38	From Serbia and Montenegro... .. miodrags might not be confident in his English. Dude: arrogant we Anglophones might be in expecting everyone to speak and understand our language, but we are pretty tolerant of its being mangled, and make the effort to understand what is being said or written. In any case, making the attempt is the way to learn and improve... Having said that, I don't see why he had to apprehend for most of the middlegame his opponent might hold. miodrags had a huge - winning - advantage almost throughout. Cheers, Ion
