Game of the Month Rules 2) You must post a LINK to the annotated game as a reply in this message thread. 3) Players entering their games must belong to this club - that's obvious 4) The game does not have to be an actual "club game" - any game that has been played ON GAMEKNOT by the player entering will be eligible (blitz games excluded because you cannot link them). 5) The deadline for all games to be judged for each month is the LAST DAY of the month - for example, the deadline for games being entered in the June Game of the Month will be the 30th June. 6) The game must have ended in the month you are entering it. 7) Judges cannot enter a game for the GotM competition during the month they are a judge. If you have questions/concerns, feel free to post and a judge will help you. |

Please submit games!!! systematically studied and gone over backwards and forwards. If we all pay attention to these games we all benefit. We are creating our own Database as we do so.. So come on and submit them!!!....BC p.s; i will ask the founder and moderators if we can submit games as far back as three months.I know at times i had a good game that i wanted to submit but it was finished in the wrong month. |

Games from which month? It would make more sense to submit games in month "N" that ended in month "N - 1" (for for November, submit games that ended in October). That way we can actually pick what we consider to be our best game of the month. |

Rules are meant to be changed if needed. they was played on Gameknot whats the problem??. Maybe this will generate more interest in this thread. Rules can be changed. Better to continue GOTM then stop doing it because of lack of participation. |

hmm if we start sending in games of other months or even years the title game of the month is not longer covering the load. The idea behind Game of the month is that at the end of the year we take the winners of the games of the month competition and make it a game of the year contest.. Why not submit games of the month before. well that could be done but the reason that it is not done is because most games are just taking longer then 1 month to be played out.. and the game of the month thread officially closes 10 days into the next month so there is plenty of time to submit.. the game of the month that ended 30 November but you also can directly submit your game that ended on 2 December |

Here is mine for November. My opponent was a little stronger, I felt I faltered around move 17, but my opponent made a couple of errors and I got the win in the end.  game I haven't annoted the game yet, quite busy. If I can I will post the annotated version. Regards, Greg |

Question/Comment I may be missing something, and correct me if I am wrong, but it doesn't matter when the game was started, only when finished and then it gets submiited for the month it was completed. Rules can be changed if necessary but I don't see an issue here. andy |

My thoughts... Here is my understanding of how the rules are at the moment. It doesn't matter when a game started, only the month when it finished. Games must be submitted before the 10th of the month (Games finishing in November for example are to be submitted before 10th of December). My opinion (and it is only my opinion) is that this works fine as it is. At the end of the month you have 10 days to choose the best of your games to submit. I wonder if the rules just need to be clarified rather than revamped. That said, I would support any changes that refresh club member's interest in this very worthwhile exercise. I would also encourage more members to put their hand up to assist with the judging. It is a very effective way to learn more about the game. Steve |

My entry for this month I also have yielded excellent results in the new traxler mini-tournament, outplaying a few 1900 rated players. Anyway, I'll show this one: game I virtually made no mistake against a higher rated opponent and won. Honorable mentions (if you have some time to lose) game game game game game Étienne |

My entry for November The game I am submitting is a high draw for me - A real tactical battle that ended up in a Queen vs. 2 Rooks endgame. I hope you guys enjoy looking over it as much as I enjoyed playing it. I haven't finished the annotation yet, but I will post it in the next few days hopefully. game Also following in Etienne's footsteps if you have some time to lose here's another couple to look at: game (My highest draw to date, but the traxler tournament can be a bit drawish at times!) game Steve |

My game for the month Not a game i won but a Game i lost.. and i lost using one of my pet lines ( alekhine defence ) a line i only lost once with so this is the second time... there was a draw option mid game but i only saw it afterwards... I used a lot of second best moves to get into a draw position at the end but Rainer is a to formidable opponent. 1.6726×10−27 kg ( the name of the game is the weight of? well i know but do you? ) rwurtinger 2418 vs. easy19 2207 gameknot.com |
