Share your best Lichess game from July 2025 (only from July 2025, only standard games, no variant games, and only one game per player - additional games will be ignored!) until August 12th in a comment to this post! The winner will be announced here in this forum thread on August 24th, followed by a Lichess blog post with commentary on the game. Good luck!

Although variant games aren't allowed here, some of our official variant teams are hosting their own Game of the Month contests - check them out below!
