Well the time has almost come for me to make a decision and there were certainly some candidates in the last round. Andrew McClement scored a fine win over IM Mark Orr. Jonathon Hawkins dispatched his opponent in fine style and Jacob Aagard won a really nice game against Mark Hebden, although it did infringe the no Rook and Pawn endgame rule.
Whilst perhaps not a traditional best game winner, I also enjoyed the Nikolov - Gormally encounter, which finished as a good fighting draw.
I'm not sure how that Best Game winner will be announced, but I will not be posting for a couple of days to allow the organisers to announce the winner in the way they wish. After that I will give my run down on my 1,2,3 for the best game. Hopefully, everyone will enjoy the game(s) that I have chosen and hopefully most people will disagree with my choice - it would be pretty boring if we all liked just the one style of game.
