Game Selection 2022-23

As of July 2023, the 2022/23 League Season has just ended successfully for Hammersmith Chess Club with lots of members taking part in matches against other clubs for one of our 17 teams across 4 different leagues.

With so many games being played, we have decided to select our Best Game of the Season! We have asked GM Daniel King (and Hammersmith member) to be the judge, and there could be no better prize than getting your game analyzed by a world famous player, commentator and author.

The winner this year was Marco Gallana for his win against IM Graeme Buckley! Below you can see Danny’s review of the game, plus a few mentions of other top nominees.

The games can be replayed on this Lichess Study, and the details are listed below:
