June,
2003: I just posted several new games on my
"Downloads" site,
plus my page
on "Recent GM Games" has been great updated ...
so
you will want to check this one out. Many high-quality annotated games. Check it out!!!
Tuesday / September 8th, 2009: A new page ... that will contain lightly annotated miniatures.
I am going to start this page with a few of the games from the very well known match ... between two super-stars.
Chess players who carried, ... ...
... "The Honor of their
countries upon their shoulders."
(As was written in the newspapers of that time.) {Be sure to read what I have written about this match on my
...........
"Best
Matches" Page.
There is also an annotated game from this match ... on my "Best Short Games"
Page.}
I am referring to the series of games
played between ... Alexander MacDonnell - the great English player, (of that period) ...
and the superb French player, Louis Charles de LaBourdonnais.
This is the FIRST
(recorded) great game of chess ... maybe ever!!
( GM
Ruben Fine says that this is the very
FIRST IMMORTAL
game of chess!!! )
***
This is the game:
Louis Charles de LaBourdonnais - Alexander
MacDonnell;
Match, FRANCE vs. ENGLAND
Third Match, Game number Fifty.
(# 50.)
This is absolutely one of the best games of the 19th century!!
Black's (mostly positional) sacrifice befuddled players of that time ...
(Staunton later called Black's
combination, "completely unsound."
But he was dead wrong!
As were
many of the folks who commented on this game.)
... but my deep (computer-assisted) analysis reveals this game
to be 100% sound! A super-brilliancy ... of the first magnitude!!
***
One of my all-time favorite
"fun" books is:
"The Complete Chess Addict,"
by Mike Fox and Richard
James.
This is game #1 in their selection of:
"The Sixty Greatest Games of Chess Ever
Played."
***
Maybe A. MacDonnell's
greatest game!!
( I christen this game, "The 1st Great Jewel of
England." )
Click HERE to go there now!!!
This is the SECOND great chess game ... maybe ever!!
This is the game:
Alexander MacDonnell - Louis Charles de
LaBourdonnais;
Match, France vs. England
Fourth Match, Game number Sixteen. (# 16.)
This is absolutely one of the best games of the whole of the 19th
century.
Black gets a big pawn roller and an attack. The final position of this
game is
as beautiful and as creative as any problem I have
ever seen!
One of the true chess masterpieces.
***
I call this game,
"The LaBourdonnais ... {Super} IMMORTAL GAME!!!"
I also refer to this game as: "The
ULTIMATE Pawn-Roller."

game) for the French Championship, 2002.

One of the most carefully annotated games I have ever done.
Additionally there is a fairly decent opening survey of the Q.G.A.
('Queen's Gambit Accepted') included. A superb game.

I
personally know that Short's favorite game would have to be ...
one of his wins over Kasparov.
(I attended one of his paid lectures ... on a popular chess
server a few years back.)
***
While
this might not be his very best ... or his (own)
favorite game ...
it is certainly one of his most creative and most astounding contests he ever
played.

ingenious Queen sacrifices ever played.

Vladimir
Alortsev (2495) - GM
Issac Boleslavsky (2680)
[A53]
U.S.S.R./ Soviet Championships (Finals)
Moscow, RUS; 1950.
This is truly a fantastic game of chess, many authors have rated it as one of the greatest games of chess of all time. (Jimmy Adams says it is easily one of the best games of the whole decade of the 1950's.) GM Andy Soltis ranks it in the "Top 50" of the entire 20th Century. GM J. Nunn calls it: ... "a celebrated brilliancy, and one of Boleslavsky's best games." I could go on and on, but by now you should have gotten the idea. Check it out!

GM
Peter Leko - GM Teaymour
Radjabov;
[C12]
XX Super-GM Tournament
Linares, ESP;
2003.
***********
This is a fantastic game, and there
are actually THREE pages devoted
to this game!!
(A text-score page, with several beautiful diagrams, a js-replay page, AND
a page
with the LCC commentator; IM Malcolm Pein's comments and analysis.)
This is probably the encounter that should have been awarded the prize for best game of the tournament. (Instead they gave it to the severely flawed Kasparov-Radjabov encounter.)
Click HERE to see the great game:
IM
Rashid Nezhmetdinov - SM Yuri M. Kotkov;
Russian National Championships
Krasnodar, U.S.S.R; 1957.
Another
great game of incredible attacking energy by the nearly forgotten
master of attack, IM Rashid Nezhmetdinov. (The incredible
"Super-Nez.")
(Make
sure to go to my "Forgotten Players" Page,
and see the section on Nez.
There are links to several of his
games, some thoroughly annotated!)
Click HERE to see the highly tactical game of:
M.
Porges - Emanuel Lasker
Nuremberg, 1896.
This game, part of my school on tactics, is a definite tactical slugfest. The great player Lasker comes up with just a whole series of tactical shots. I have studied this game with several of my students, and I can tell you it is definitely a good game to study to improve your tactics. Repeated study is guaranteed to make you a better player. (May, 2003.)
Click HERE to see the great game:
GM
Frederich Samisch (2600) - GM
Aaron Niemzowitsch (2730)
[E06]
All-Master Tourney
Copenhagen, DEN; 1923.
A VERY interesting game of chess ... upon which the overall opinion of many GM's is pretty sharply divided. Is this a great game of chess? Or something akin to a 'coffee-house swindle?'
This is also the game that was dubbed:
"THE IMMORTAL ZUGSZWANG GAME,"
by GM Emanuel Lasker, just
shortly after it was played.
I am sure this is one of the best annotation jobs you will ever see on this game!
Click HERE to see the great game:
GM Emanuel
Lasker - NM Francis Lee;
Super-Master (DRR) Tourney
London, ENG; (Great
Britain) 1899.
Quite simply one of the best games of
all of Lasker's career.
(I have been working on this game for close to a year now.)
A brilliancy of the very highest type ... from an unbelievable tournament by Lasker.
ALL Lasker fans MUST check this game out!!!
Click HERE to see the game:
|
GM
Robert J. Fischer - GM
Mark Taimanov; |
This is ... quite simply ...
THE FINEST BISHOP
vs. KNIGHT ENDING EVER PLAYED!!!
(Period,
and bar none.)
Remember too: Bobby Fischer won this match 6 - 0!!!
(Several of these games are ... in my opinion, anyway ... unrecognized
masterpieces.)
Check it out now! Click here.
How many players have completely dominated one of the strongest tournaments of their time ... AND carried off the brilliancy prize to boot? Capablanca, Fischer, maybe Kasparov. But did you know Lasker did this ... and on more than one occasion?
Wilhelm Steinitz - Emanuel Lasker;
Super-GM Tournament
London, (ENG); 1899.
Click HERE to see this grand contest now!!
I
have worked for years on this game. I have annotated it about ten different
times. Then after
I finally got a version I was happy with, it took over 2 months to polish the
HTML. Take a look.
The following is a game I have probably had literally hundreds of requests for. (I actually have annotated this game several times - see the page for details) But the game is definitely pretty ... it is an amazing game. Capa out plays one of the world's best players ... with the Black pieces ... and it is almost a miniature! Really charming chess.
GM
Ossip Bernstein - GM Jose R. Capablanca;
(Royal)
Exhibition Game (# 1)
Moscow,
Russia; 1914.
Click HERE to see this game now.
This is the effort that Capa - when asked to name his best game by Marshall - chose this contest ... over all the great, and pretty games that he had played. (Incredible!!)
I taught the following game around 20-30 times on the Internet. Just about every student who ever saw this game, loved it. Most asked me to do a web page on this encounter.
GM
Yuri Averbakh - GM Vladimir Zak;
Soviet Sport Admin/Master Challenge Match
Moscow, USSR; 1947.
EASILY a great game of chess, a fantastic encounter that features MUCH blood-letting.
Another curious fact is that this game is NOT found in any of the databases I checked!!
Click HERE to see this historic encounter ... NOW!!
Quite
simply one of the very best
jobs
of building a web page ... ... ...
for an annotated chess game ... as I have ever done. Over 20 game
diagrams, and ...
there is also a very nice re-play page.
GM
Vassily Ivanchuk - GM Artur Yusupov;
(FIDE) Candidates Match / Tie-breaker game
Brussels, Belgium, 1991.
This is simply one of the greatest chess games ever played. Few players have seen it, fewer players still have really studied this game. Additionally, I don't think the final analytical word has been spoken on this magnificent struggle.
You MUST check this game out!!
Fritz_X3D (C) - GM Garry Kasparov
WCM "Man vs. Machine" / Game
Four ( # 4)
A chess match played in Virtual
Reality
The Athletic Club/New York City, NY
(USA)/November, 2003.
Most people say that draws are boring ... and some definitely are. Here is a GAME that took over a month to complete. There are five nice diagrams, a re-play page, etc. In some cases there is a comment (and a variation) after every single move. Check it out!!
I am currently (March/04) working on a game between GM Boris Spassky and GM Lev Polugaeyevsky. (Played in the 25th U.S.S.R. Championships in Riga, Latvia.)
This titanic struggle was played the year I was born! (1958) But it remains one of the greatest and most brilliant games of chess I have ever seen!! There are more brilliant moves in this game than you can shake a stick at!! (It is HERE, now!!)
The 5th Karpov Tournament was recently held. (In March, 2004.) This was a VERY strong event ... a category 18 tournament!! GM Alexander Grischuk won on tiebreaks over GM Sergei Rublevsky. I have already gone over all the decisive games from this event ... it was an incredible tournament with some very good fighting chess.
One of the games that just ... BLEW ME AWAY ... was the following colossal struggle:
GM Vladimir
Malakhov (2700!)
- GM Vadim Zvjaginsev (2650);
[E-97] / 5th
Karpov Tournament / March 17th-26th, 2004.
Poikovsky, Russia; 03/23/2004. (Round
# 6.)
I truly and honestly believe ... that once this game is discovered and has caught the attention of the general chess press ... that this could be hailed as one of the most brilliant chess games of modern times. Maybe THE brilliancy of the new (21st) century?!?!?
Click HERE to see this epic game now!! (Link posted here: Saturday; April 03rd, 2004.)
Starting
about 25 years ago, BILL WALL wrote many books (25-30) that dealt with
miniatures.
("500 Sicilian Miniatures," "500
French Miniatures," "500 Queen's Gambit Miniatures,"
etc.)
I always thought it would be a blast to find out what Bill's favorite game was, and then annotate it.
And I actually got around to it! Here it is!! Bill Wall's favorite GAME of chess. Check it out!
(Link first posted here: Monday; July 19th, 2004.)
While this might not be anywhere near his very best game, the following is an extremely fun ... and also a very entertaining, over-the-board encounter.

Most people know this game ONLY as a miniature ... or a simple trap.
I

One of the all-time great games:
GM
A. Nimzovich - GM S. Tarrasch;
ICT / Master's (Inv.) / preliminaries
St. Petersburg, Russia; 1914.
This is a really great game - the combination is easily one of the "100 Greatest of All Time."
And the analysis - up until now - has been pretty bad. Hopefully, I have corrected as many of the errors and mistakes as humanly possible. When it is finished, it will be a page with many diagrams - and also a link to a java-script replay page. Check it out!!
This game is NOT finished, normally - I do not post the link on this page until the game is complete. However, we have Hurricane Ivan bearing down on the Gulf Coast, and if the power goes out, I do not know how long it will take to get it back. So I am posting this now. (Of course I will attempt to finish this as quickly as humanly possible.) [DONE!]
(Link first posted here: Wednesday, 2045 hours. September 15th, 2004.)
A very famous game ... a fantastic combination ... and one of the greatest "King-hunts" ever!
Of course I am talking about the game:
GM Y. Averbakh - GM
A. Kotov;
(FIDE) Candidates Tournament / Round
#14
Zurich, Switzerland; 1953.
This game is annotated - in much greater depth than I ever intended. There are several diagrams ... AND a link to a site that has an excellent JS-replay page. Without question, this is one of the finest combinations of the 20th Century!!
(Link first posted here: Friday; September 24th, 2004.)
Many consider this one of the greatest games of all time, it is definitely one of the more interesting games of the whole of the 20th Century here. (It is also contains a very important TN.)
GM
Lev Polugaevsky - GM Eugenio Torre;
ICT / Moscow,
U.S.S.R; 1981.
This tournament was won by Karpov, 'Polu' was involved in a three-way tie for second. (This tournament was also Kasparov's first "big GM" event. He also tied for second, as I recall.)
(Link first posted here: Tuesday; October 05th, 2004.)
A very interesting game ... that I am sure will be debated for some time. It also decided the World's Championships in Brissago, Switzerland.
GM
Vladimir Kramnik (2770) - GM Peter Leko (2741);
Centro Dannemann / WCS Match; Game # 14
Brissago, Switzerland; 2004.
Where did Leko go wrong? What was the losing move? Did Kramnik play OK?
Answer all these questions - and much more - by visiting this web page. This page took many hours of work, it is as easily as good as any of the other pages that I found on the Internet. Additionally, there are about 7 diagrams, and also links to ALL the relevant sources on the Internet!!!
CHECK IT OUT!!!! (Link first posted here: Tuesday; October 19th, 2004.)
Here is s a very interesting game ... that I originally did for a book review of mine. At first, I was not going to "advertise" this game ... or post any extra links to it. But several of my friends and Internet students looked at this game, and they all said it was excellent. They all asked me to post it here.
GM
Leonid Stein - GM Seymon Furman; [B43]
The 37th URS Championships, (Round
# 18)
Moscow, U.S.S.R;
1969.
CHECK IT OUT!!!! (Link first posted here: Saturday; December 05, 2004.)
I witnessed a game - via the Internet - on March 4th that went beyond my standard set of superlatives. This is a contest where the reigning (FIDE) World Champion plays the White pieces ... and gets hammered into the dust. Further this game will have a huge impact on opening theory.
GM Rustam Kasimdzhanov (2678)
- GM Garry Kasparov (2804);
[D47] ICT
/ XXII Super-GM (R
#09)
Linares, ESP; 2005. (0-1,
36 moves.)
This is - without doubt - one of the most exciting and theoretically important games of the whole year. The impact of this contest on modern opening theory will have ripples ... for years to come!
CHECK IT OUT!!!! (Link first posted here: Monday; March 07th, 2005.)
This is a game that I have wanted to annotate for my web-site ... for some time now. (It is finally done!!)
GM
Al Beliavsky - GM John Nunn;
ICT / Hoogovens Masters / Wijk
aan Zee, NED; 1985.
One of best games of the decade, I guarantee that you will enjoy this game. (Enjoy!)
A fantastic game!!! (Link first posted here: Friday; September 09th, 2005.)
A game that is from one of the more promising {young} prospects in the world today.
GM Ian Rogers (2569) -
IM Wang Hao (2512)
[A28]
2nd Dato' Arthur Tan {Malaysian} Open
Kuala Lumpur, MAS; (Round #11) / 26,08,2005.

GM Alexander Beliavsky - GM Bent Larsen;

Some of GM Beliavsky's moves have to be seen to be believed. So ... what are you waiting for?

I recently annotated the following game:
NM A. Gunnarsson (2289) -
GM I. Sokolov (2658)
[A21]
ICT / Jonsson
Memorial (open)
Reykjavik, Iceland;
(R#9) / 23,10,2001.
I was so impressed with the tactics at the end ... I just had to add it to my collection of annotated games. I did a fairly nice job with it, but don't let me tell you! Check it out for yourself!! (Be sure to provide some feedback.)

- GM V. Kovacevic (2530);
[C04]
ICT /
Balkaniad
Kavala, Greece;
(R#4) / 10,1990.
Without question, this is an interesting game. It also features an extremely unusual winning shot by Black. On top of this, there is a discovery of a missed move. (I didn't find it, but you will have to click in the link, to find out who did.)
(Link posted here: Tuesday; April 18th, 2006.)
I just posted the following game:
Mikhail Bonch-Osmolovsky (2566) -
Boris Baranov (2545);

Moscow, U.S.S.R. / 1953.
Its an interesting game, and the final combination is very fine - and maybe even just a little bit educational and instructional as well. Its a challenge, Care to take a look? Then click HERE.

The following might be one of the most interesting games of the whole of 2006:
GM Viswanathan Anand - GM Veselin Topalov
[B80]
M-Tel Masters
Sofia, BUL; (Round
# 07) / May 18th, 2006.
An interesting opening ... leads to an exciting middlegame ... which leads to an astounding ending.
This is certain to be one of the most analyzed and talked about games of 2006, so check it out!
(Link posted here: Tuesday; May 23rd, 2006.)
A great game of chess would have to be:
GM S. Kudrin - GM A. Onischuk;
The
U.S. Championship Tournament
San Diego, CA; (USA)
/ 2006.
Grandmaster Alexander Onischuk plays a model game of chess, with a nearly perfect (and highly instructive!) R+P endgame. (Check it out!)
One of the greatest chess players who ever lived was GM Jose Raul Capablanca. (One of the five original GM's!!!!!)
What was his best or most brilliant game? Many people have weighed in on this one, my choice is a little different than most "chess experts" on this matter. Care to see it? Then click here.
GM Victor Korchnoi, at the amazing age of 75, is still winning tournaments. (He also recently won the World Senior title.) Here, I give you a game {from the same event} where he just crushed GM Sergei Tiviakov.
GM Aaron Nimzovich crushes a strong master. (H. Matisons) This is one of Nimzovich's most celebrated victories, it also comes from a tournament where he won clear first place. (Karlsbad, 1929.) Here is a carefully annotated chess game for your enjoyment, there are also a brief synopsis of Nimzovich's career, a cross-table, and dozens of links. You must check this out!
Many consider GM Alexander Alekhine to be one of the greatest chess players who ever lived, even Garry Kasparov has said that he traces his "chess style" directly back to one of the grandest of all Russian players.
While I was working on an article on this great player, I did a lot of background work.
I wanted a great game of Alekhine's ... and one that the average chess enthusiast might not be familiar with. I think I found the game I was looking for.
In his rematch with Max Euwe, Alekhine played some really great chess. In the twenty-second game, he played a whole series of really powerful moves, in the end, not even Euwe could withstand the onslaught of Alekhine's genius. Its one of Alekhine's best games, if you want to see it, please click here.
GM Lev Aronian and GM Magnus Carlsen met in their Candidates Match in 2007. It turned out to be a fiercely contested match ... first one player would win, and then the other. In the end, the {slightly} more experienced Aronian won out, although it was a bitter struggle.
HERE ... I annotate game four of their match in Elista. (Posted here ... Saturday; June 2nd, 2007.)
GM Alexander Grischuk just crushes Jakov Geller ... in a contest from the Russian Team Championship in 2004. When this game was recently featured as the "Problem of The Day" on another server, I knew that I had to try and annotate it. (Click HERE to see this game now.) (Posted here ... Monday; July 9th, 2007.)
GM Alexander Shabalov is the new U.S. Champion. Click HERE to read a brief article ... and also see the decisive, last-round game against the ever-tough, GM Sergey Kudrin. (Posted here ... Thursday; July 12th, 2007.)
I saw this game the other day on the popular "Chess Games" website.
Aleksander Sznapik (2480) - Davor Komljenovic (2512); [B75] / Biel, SUI; 1987.
Its an absolutely beautiful win, and features some nice tactics ... that are typical of this whole variation. In the end, I knew I was going to have to try and annotate this one. (I did not want to make it the kind of effort, where it took me weeks - or even months - to complete it. But at the same time, I knew I wasn't able to crank it out in thirty minutes ... at least, I could not do this and maintain the same level of quality as most of my other annotated games.)
Its a theoretically interesting contest - all Dragon players will want to study this one.
I wanted to get it done the same day that I saw the game, but that turned out to be a little difficult ... all things considered here. (Posted: Monday; August 13th, 2007.)
I saw this game shortly after it was first played. I meant to annotate it, but somehow I never did.
Judit
Polgar - S. Mamedyarov; The FIDE World Team Championships ...
commonly better known as "The (men's) Olympiad." Bled,
Slovenia; 2002.
Without question, this is one of the prettier games that Judit has ever played,
even if you are not a Polgar fan, you MUST
check this one out.

My analysis of GAME ONE of the Kramnik - Anand World Championship match.
Some of the most interesting games of the year are played in the Bulgarian (Super-GM) tournament in Sofia every year. (M-Tel, 2009.)
This year when Shirov knocked out Ivanchuk in 24 moves, I knew that I had to eventually get around to annotating this game, and I finally did.
If you are curious, then you can check this one out. (Posted: Wednesday; July 22nd, 2007.)
Every day, The "Chess Games" website features a fun and interesting problem.
The
problem for Sunday; September 6th, 2009 was the contest:
GM Eduardas Rozentalis (2600) - GM Viktor
Bologan (2540); / ICT / Belfort, FRA; (R#9) / 1995.
It was an interesting chess game. The opening was a [B22] Sicilian Alapin. The tactics were extreme. Therefore, I decided to annotate this game.
