BLOOD OF A POET or Composers at Play A problemist can play, many players will never present a problem... Even world champions presented at least one or another of his own, or quite a few, like Lasker - others were more interested in the realm of studies - and Smyslov is very active in this field... Here we will find mainly the most faithfull of the minstrels, but on the battle-field (ps: an exception for the cg.com kibitzers - if You published at least one Chess Problem You can feature here even not being some "faithfull minstrel) 96 games, 1844-2007 Essential Kasparov Starting from a choice of 50 annotated games presented as bonus in a playing Sony CD called "Virtual Kasparov", covering the period 1978-1999. It will grow in this form of "Memorable Games" (surelly MORE then 61!!) aiming to show a wide, representative selection 81 games, 1975-2005 My 62 Memorable Kibitzes (or Kibitzen?!) Short vs Khalifman, 1991 8 games, 1860-1975 ONCE UPON or The Only Encounter How many frustrated encounters, contemporaries who never played a single game... If there was not these sole encounters, the same could be said about the players featured here, then the games are very precious without other qualities - even if they are almost always very good games too 5 games, 1896-1970 ROOT OF SPAWN or Bobby vs The Youth Fischer's open career started very early and was spectacularly vertical, and was actually interrupted abruptelly before his 30th birthday, then he met players younger than himself just in very few occasions - let's enjoy those rare moments 29 games, 1965-1992 vonKrolock's favorite games 9 games, 1883-1999 Z K's vintage pauca sed bona (we propose a few highly significant games for study and enjoyment) 11 games, 1930-1999
