Captureless games played through to checkmate
Compiled by Lossmaster
--*--

Captures are for thugs. Draws are for wimps. Resignations are for sissies. True gentlemen play their chess without using violence and through to its intended checkmating conclusion.

The games are listed in ascending order of number of moves.

If you know of other games that fit the criteria, please let me know. I'm especially looking for longer games.
