Best game of the year

maybe we could have a vote for best game of the year or/and best combination of the year where people can submit one of their games and then let the community decide what game/combination is the best. And the winner will have this mentioned in his profile like with tourneys.

This is a good enough idea to just run as a thread in the chess forums... perhaps once the info gets long enough, Russ could make a poll?!

Good idea.

Here's my nomination:

Game 540416

My first match with ex-RHP member James Woodley (last rated close to 1800 at his time of exile).

I'll make a tread in the chess forum then

very nice idea!
we need a shortlist that russ can stick in a vote forum .. how will we make a shortlist without it being overrun by the rec-sluts?

😳 flexy baby, that hurts...

alas, you need not worry. that's the only game in my entire archives worth mentioning. 😉

It would be cool if we could use the new "vote" feature for this.

Definitely a forerunner in the short game category...

Don't let No1 see it, though: He'll be shoving it down Arrakis's throat with an "I told you so.".

This is one of my favourites, a rook sac, and the knights wade in: Game 508169

That's very nice... Hook, line and sinker...

My best so far this year is Game 789994.

I am usually too impatient to build up my pieces for an attack like that.
