Hello antichess enjoyers! Surprise, I'm already gonna announce the winners of December's Gotm. In voting we got draws in all categories and I didn't want anybody to win just with one vote ahead so I've decided to implement some creativity. The ones who tied will have to play a match against each other in 1+2 time control and it will be thematic. There will be the only one opening and to avoid prep I'll tell u about it right before each series.
So in <2000 category it will be a battle between @ew-pawn and @ssevynn and in 2000-2200 we will have @Siddiq1911 and @UDITORIUM. In 2200+ it would be @neverplayfastanti and @Pinni7 but Pinni is busy so we had to get one more vote and @neverplayfastanti officially wins December's Gotm. Here's this game with Raven Defence as Black and a good ending with the rook promotion:
@Pinni7 gets a honourable mention with his unusual opening as White against Polish Defence and a complex endgame against the lonely king:
Congrats! And what about @ew-pawn and @ssevynn / @Siddiq1911 and @UDITORIUM please write the times when u're gonna play ur matches here on the forum.
@Siddiq1911 vs @UDITORIUM right now and the opening will be 1. c4! Good luck!
7-5, @UDITORIUM wins the match and wins December's Gotm with this game (also with an interesting rook promo in the end):
The honourable mention goes to @Siddiq1911 and his almost perfect 1. g4 game against Antichess_Valentino:
Congrats!

Ok, according to the results of the match @ssevynn wins December's Gotm with his 1. c4 game:
And @ew-pawn gets a honourable mention with her 1. Nh3 game:
Congrats to the champions again! Today or tomorrow @neverplayfastanti @UDITORIUM @ssevynn will receive patron wins as a prize sponsored by @ChangeOpening. Also I'll make a traditional monthly puzzle pack in several days and we will get a new annotator for the winning games. Stay updated!
