Nomination for Game of the Round 🏆

I'd like to share a game from this round that turned out to be quite dynamic and exciting.
Both sides fought hard — Black created strong counterplay on the queenside, while White built up pressure in the center and on the kingside.
The game featured a few tactical turns and ended with a nice attacking finish.
