AWC best game competition

Hi all,

I wondered if anyone would be interested in a best game competition for this year's tournament?

My initial thoughts on how it could work:
People nominate games in this thread. At the end of each round there is a day of voting, whichever get the most votes is named game of the round. Before the final there can be a vote between all of the best games, with the winner crowned as the AWC 2018's best game. No prize - other than the glory of having played the best game of the World Championship!

hola:
es una idea innovadora, ademas como fanático de el ajedrez atómico, me gusta mirar buenas partidas...esto conllevara a que el nivel del torneo y de la variante atómico en general sigan adelante.
lo que si propondría es que de entre todas las mejores partidas de seleccionadas en cada ronda, al final se vote cual seria la mejor de las mejores.
solo estarían incluidas las mejores votadas en cada ronda.

Pablito, Tipau said the same than you, so the idea is perfect and for this round I think best match will be kreedz vs ijh (although my match look like good too).

This is a great idea! Going to start looking at all the games from round one and narrow down my pick :D Is there a way to set up a proper poll on lichess?

Meanwhile here’s a rather unique non-AWC game:

That is a stellar find @rdaysky !!!
22.O-O# :O

Winning the game by castling is beautiful and not very often seen though.Nice game @rdaysky

OK, dubiousskills defeated me beautifully in this one xD
Where did you find that rdaysky?
BTW, I support the idea!

My nomination for Round 1 is...

Game 1 of penguingim1 vs Blitzboy11

@penguingim1 builds a solid opening and quickly finds it going horribly wrong :O He manages to avoid getting mated somehow and then finds a miraculous win on the other side of board!

Here are some other interesting games from Round 1...

too bad of a game :P
