Game of the Month!
Every month we have a Game of the Month! There will be forums you can post your games in and the winner will be decided within 10 days of the next month, the Game of the Month is displayed here for a month and is annotated!
PS: The Game of the Month will be displayed in a study for 1 month and then the winner will be asked whether or not to keep a clone of the study (we annotate the game). We will then delete the game in the following month and replace it with the new Game of the Month, this is because we don't want a overflow of games and it keeps things less messy.
