2025 December Opening of the Month Community Vote
Hello everyone!
Hope you're enjoying the Old Accelerated Dragon (:
It is time for us all to pick the December opening, to be featured both in the Rapid Opening Roulette and our Official Thematic Daily Chess Tournaments set to start late next month.
Here's how we structured the December Opening of the Month choices:
- Runner up from previous OOTM poll
- Top suggested from previous OOTM poll comments (one opening per member)
- Random (not yet featured) pick from most popular openings
- 100% Decisive Games (Ply 1 and not yet featured) in recent events (Nov/13 30T 1+2+3)
As always, feel free to share your feedback and ideas in the survey comments in addition to suggesting an opening you'd like to support for the next month voting. These are hugely appreciated.

Submissions close next Friday so be sure to submit your vote and comment your suggestions by then, and happy chessing!
