By June 12th, several of your best games of May were shared via our forum post.

Our team went on to carefully check all submitted games and found that the game of @Blundered_Match was outstanding. Congrats!

The Turkish chess trainer and FM Nazmi Can Doğan, alias @NaSil, had a deeper look into the game and commented a lot for you to learn from. Check it out:
