The Game of the Year contest continues on at the US Chess League website. The judges have selected Kelleher-Enkhbat from the Boston Blitz's week 10 win over the Baltimore Kingfishers as the 9th best game of the year. Bill's win helped knock the 2005 Champions out of 2006 playoff contention.
The judges appreciated Kelleher's rook sacrifice which ripped open Black's kingside and led directly to a mating attack.IM Shahade also mentioned that the contest has instructional value showing clear plans of attack and defense in an isolated queen pawn position.
Those who have previously questioned WFM Vicary's role on the panel of judges will find more fodder in her comments about this game:
