Game of the Month for March goes to one of our strongest players! eloluis68
He defeated a strong attack when his opponent sacced a piece. I think you will find this game interesting.

Game of the month for June 2015 goes to Efrat one of our newest members.
She deserves this award because of her brilliant tactical play!
People seem a bit shy to submit their games for the 'Game of the Month Award', so I'll throw in my game for July. It shows how to build a quick attack against a passive defence (in this case the Pirc) and checkmate your opponent's King!
Note that move 3.d4 is a gambit that I worked out over the computer (before the game). I won't show you the analysis because I want to catch someone else in it. :)
Game of the Month Award goes to RustyTheDog.
Note that White played the awkward 11.b3?! Better is 11.Bd3 to chop the knight. Black loses if he plays 11...Nfxd4 because it is a trap! After 12.Nfxd4 Nxd4 13.Be3 Bc5 and 14.b4! winning a piece!

Very nice attack! :)
Congratulations to Capa_Mike for taking advantage of Black's one bad move in the Panov Attack! Black should have played ...e6 to prevent d5. As a result of 1 bad move, Black finds himself busted!
I was ill and could not support this forum. But I am OK now and if my members would like to see it continued please send me your nice game that you won so I can post it. Note that you have to go to the actual game and copy & paste the URL to me in a message. I can't find your game if you do not give me the proper information.
Also, only games that you won playing for DUNE are acceptable - and no blitz games.
