jbravo58d 31-Jul-09, 15:46	Not my best game ever But at I can at least submit something. . . game
antagonistknight 01-Aug-09, 07:43	If anyone else would like to submit a game, you have till the end of the day to do so. But the game must have been finished in July. So far we have 6 entrants.
antagonistknight 04-Aug-09, 07:21	I have been very busy with work, I should have my decision tomorrow. Sorry for the delay.
antagonistknight 04-Aug-09, 19:48	July Game of the Month Winner Once again there were some excellent games entered into the competition, and it was a very tough decision. The games entered were: Tennesseehiker game Kendo-ka game Blackbart11 game Untateve game doji game jbravo58d game Like I said it was a close decision because just like last months there were elements in all the games that were worthy of winning the competition, so the winner is: Jbravo58d He had a very well played game overall. What clinched it for him was the bishop sacrifice. Though a little unsound, it created a hole in his opponents defense and he then properly exploited the weakness with a strong attacking combination. Other notable elements from the other games(games are in no particular order): Tennesseehiker Properly capitalised on both of his opponents blunders and held onto the advantage well to get the win. Untateve Untateve came in a close second with a nice little combination to win the game in the end. Doji A very well played game as well, very sound moves with few mistakes. Ended up with a large material advantage at which point his opponent resigned, though the game was far from over it was shaping up to be a very good game. Thank you again to all those that entered, and good luck to all of you in your future games. Hbird1830
kendo-ka 17-Aug-09, 04:53	Game of the Month I'm the Judge for August. I'm looking forward to seeing the games everyone enters. I Don't mind if you submit them here before the end of the month. But if no one has a game to offer yet don't worry. You still have till August 31st to submit one.
kendo-ka 17-Aug-09, 04:57	Congratulations Well done JBravo58d, congratulations on winning July's competition.

thegoodbishop 24-Aug-09, 18:27	Game of the month I'm still new to the game and working on my endgame rather than my openings so don't look for any early game magic, I did enjoy the games though, so that must be worth something. I'm always open to pointers, let me know what you see, would have played, or cringed about. game
kendo-ka 27-Aug-09, 02:20	4 days to go :) I hope there are quite a few of you out there preparing to send in a last minute game. So far I only have one game posted, jbravo58d seems to have deleted his entry. The only player so far who has submitted a game is thegoodbishop. So please notify me if you have a game that your going to enter even if its still in progress.
damalfi 27-Aug-09, 02:53	Yes... I have the same game I was about to submit on july... not finished yet. I'll submit one of two, depending if it finishes or not by this week.
untateve 27-Aug-09, 04:46	I always submit a game. I have one that I may wish to submit if it finishes in time. If not, I'll the best one I have and submit it.

antagonistknight 27-Aug-09, 08:14	I doubt I will finish any other games that are good enough for the competition by the end of the month, so I will submit this one. I used Bird's Opening, as usual, but my opponent chose to go with an Indian opening and this was the first time I had played the Bird against an Indian style opening. Play starts slow as both of us maneuver our pieces into attacking position, but then I make a quick thrust towards the enemy king with a nicely coordinated attack and my opponent subsequently resigns. gameknot.com
untateve 27-Aug-09, 12:37	untateve's game of the month - Aug 2009 Similar to hbird, I don't believe I'll finish any other games this month as interesting as this one. I'm playing black and open with Modern Defense. Lots of good tactical play in my opinion--something I'm trying to work on. game
jurgemaister 27-Aug-09, 15:30	Entry for game of the month This isn't exactly an exciting game, but I am satisfied with the attack on the opponents king end game (although it takes its time)   game
fatcat2 27-Aug-09, 23:26	fatcat2's Game of the Month Here is my entry. An excellent example of what to do if your opponent plays a weak opening. The judge may like to know that this was a Thematic Mini-Tournament! game
aandersen 28-Aug-09, 04:00	Can I take part ? As a very new member, I'm not sure that I qualify for being able to submit a game, but I'll give it a try anyway game August wasn't a great month for me chesswise, so I'm a bit limited in choices and I have therefore decided to submit my most recent completed game.I lost my mojo somewhat during the month, so I have now opted to cut down on my active games and spend some time going back over a few of my games to work out what went wrong. The game I have chosen, was certainly a game of two halves. I was fairly happy with the first part of the game but the latter stages are littered with mistakes, mostly mine.
kendo-ka 28-Aug-09, 05:50	Game of the month August Anyone can enter a game it doesn't matter how long you've been in the club. The only criteria is that the game finishes before the end of the month. So any game that finishes in August will be accepted.   If any more players enter this may turn out to be the month with the largest number of entry's. Which I hope will mean more participation in the clubs activities. I especially encourage anyone who isn't already involved in voting for moves in the games posted on the forum to do so. Even if your move doesn't win the vote you will certainly learn a lot from the discussions surrounding those games. Currently the most important game on the forum is our match against Club Morphy I hope those who aren't already involved will come and join in.
jbravo58d 28-Aug-09, 07:04	Game of the month Here is my entry. Short game. game
damalfi 28-Aug-09, 10:15	August's game by Damalfi This is not the best game ever, but I am very proud of it. I am aware that it's "originality" what matters, but I think I could keep the attack high and had my reward... game
damalfi 28-Aug-09, 14:18	I lost the chance... I had another nice game, but... only one is permitted. Pity...
kendo-ka 31-Aug-09, 10:28	Entrys so far. damalfi game jbravo58d game thegoodbishop game aanderson game fatcat2 game untateve game hbird1830 game jurgemaister game 8 entries so far. You have till the end of September 1st to place an entry. Since the end of the first day of the month was given by hbird1830 as the deadline when he was judge I'll be doing the same thing. Good luck everyone.
kendo-ka 02-Sep-09, 06:51	August Game of the Month A lot of fine entry's this month. It was not an easy choice to make. I hope you'll all join me in congratulating hbird1830 for winning this month.   Game of the Month August hbird1830 game An excellent game with a consistent plan and interesting tactics that dominated his opponent. Runner Up damalfi game Another fine game. Taking his opponents kingside to pieces and finally checkmate on the queenside. My comments on the other games. untateve and jurgemaister did a fine job creating a winning end game. fatcat2 showed his opponent why its a bad idea to sacrifice the right to castle so early. aanderson dominated the centre in her game. Putting so much pressure on her opponent that they cracked and hung a rook ending the game. jbravo58d quickly beat his opponent with a nice example of a double check ending in checkmate. thegoodbishop caught his opponent out with a back rank checkmate. I encourage everyone to have a look through the games.
thegoodbishop 02-Sep-09, 10:14	hbirds game beautifully played. very nice.
aandersen 02-Sep-09, 11:00	My Favourite I enjoyed all the games but i liked the originality of some of the moves in thegoodbishop game. There were a number of mistakes on both sides and the checkmate could have been achieved 3 or 4 moves earlier, but i found it very interesting to watch. Well done.
fatcat2 02-Sep-09, 13:43	Hall of Fame kendo-ka, don't forget to post the results in the Club Hall of Fame - accessible from the forum. Use the format of existing results already posted in that thread. Thanks for judging!
kendo-ka 02-Sep-09, 15:43	I've just posted the results in the hall of fame. Thank you for reminding me.
jbravo58d 02-Sep-09, 17:56	Congrats to all Well played.
tennesseehiker 03-Sep-09, 05:08	Judge for September untateve has agreed to fill the role of Judge for the month of September.
