I have a couple of games that can be shared here. Some very consistent, logical, strategically correct, but too boring. And others are complete mess, a lot of sacrifices and real fire on the board.
I really don't know which one to share and asked my friends to vote and choose amongst 7 of my most memorable games of February and it is still a draw between 2 of them :)

there were some temporary sacrifices, including queen sacs from both sides, in one of them. One side made it because of mating threats, another one - to give it back in order to rid of these threats:)

And in another one I must say many actual activities, actions happened, and much more ideas applied but are hidden from the viewers and both sides should play very carefully to avoid given threats and to create new.
So, that's why I made my choice for the contest

P.S.
In case someone is curious what's happened in another game you can use game link with code U3gVvIY1

I feel like this was a great example of a counter attack and it was my spin on a Anastasia mate. I didn't feel the pressure was great enough from the rook and queen to justify a checkmate but rather It could have been a repetitive move draw but I got the game. I feel it was an underdog comeback victory.

I liked this game in which I managed to beat a streamer that I have a lot of appreciation for, maybe another time I will be on her team's side.

@grendizer said in #186:

Its little bit sad that people pay attention only first pages but there are many good games in others too. Maybe lichess must change something

It doesn't really matter as games are no longer voted for and each game is looked at on it's own merit by the lichess staff. So it doesn't matter how many thumbs up it has just because it's on first page , it has no bearing on the result. xxx

Does the contest allow for tournament games that have predetermined openings?
