@XTU @MAGNus_204 @Platinum7000 (and probably more from previous pages)
Note again that only games from August count for this contest because it is about the game of August, not from September.

So I had a mate in 10 after castling Kingside with the Queenside rook after sacrificing all of the Kingside pawns for an attack :) The Duras Gambit can really mess with your opponents :D

This should be ignored, but I am sharing since this was fun and special to me. It was my first ever simul game. Played against GM DrVitman. I'd been happy to put up a decent fight. But certainly didn't expect to almost get stalemated in move 47. I dragged my king to take the rook because of time trouble, but realized it at the last moment and dropped it to an invalid square :)

Check out my variations of the Duras Gambit. It works well in 1|0 games and sometimes in 3|0 games!!!
