2013 Game of the Year Details

The always popular Game of the Year Contest returns in the same format as the past year, but as always, with a slightly different judging panel. Read on to find out who they are!

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

This year, the prizes for the GOTY Contest will be:

 

1st Place: $600
2nd Place: $400
3rd Place: $300
4th Place: $200
5th Place: $100

 

with the prizes all going to the winner of the game (all prizes being split equally should any of the above games be from a draw).

We will again this year have a panel of six judges, those being:

 

GM Alejandro Ramirez
GM Alex Yermolinsky
IM Jake Kleiman
FM Ingvar Johannesson
FM Alisa Melekhina
FM Ron Young

 

As usual though before the actual contest begins, we must reveal the seven Wildcard games (picked by the usual GOTW nominators: Arun, Danny, and Greg) which will join the thirteen Games of the Week that will comprise the twenty overall games in the contest. Stay tuned as we start to announce those in the next couple of days!
