A wonderful example of how development can be more important than material

By October 5th, several of your best games of September were shared via our forum post.

Our team went on to carefully check all submitted games and found that the game of @WiNDim was outstanding. Congrats!

The author and openings specialist Tony Rotella alias LM @TonyRo had a deeper look into the brilliant game and commented a lot for you to learn from, check it out:
