Apologies for the slight delay :-)
A few of you have submitted games that were played outside of the given timeframe (July 2024).
Games played in August 2024 that were submitted here were not included for this contest, and can be submitted again for the August Game of the Month Contest once that one is posted.
I have sent out a few messages in case anyone wishes to submit a different game from July 2024. Once their deadline has passed, I'll announce the winners and post a study with the best games.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the inaugural GotM contest of Lichess Racing Kings!
25 entrants sent their best games of the month for us to judge, but only one could win it all.
On a personal note, I'd like to add a couple of shout-outs to the games that inspired positions in my latest puzzle study:
@Guitar09: Puzzle 24 was from your game against me
@OllieParker: Puzzle 27 is taken from your win against OK_Oleksandr
@Gautham_A: Puzzle 28 was inspired by your game vs OK_Oleksandr (this guy again? xD)
@ALucasM's game with Natso was good for both Puzzles 29 and 35
For this edition of Game of the Month, we had no rating-restricted categories yet. Those have been introduced in the August Game of the Month post!
Now for the results of the July Game of the Month Contest...
3rd place: @seth_777 vs RoyalManiac
2nd place: @huangyudong vs Arjan_chess2
1st place: @Gautham_A vs OK_Oleksandr
All three games were annotated in this study:
I'm looking forward to all the games from the next contest ;-)
