  Gregor Samsa Mendel: Perhaps this should be included with D. Byrne's notable games.
Aug-05-12  DanielBryant: Agreed. It always is a shame when a good player becomes virtually unknown for anything other than a famous loss.

  perfidious: <Gregor> Aren't the listings of notable games based on some kind of criteria, such as the number of collections, rather than their merits per se?

<What are 'Notable Games'?

On some player pages, tournament pages, and opening pages, there is a list of Notable Games. In the case of player pages, this list highlights some important games that the player has won or drawn. On opening pages, you can see some milestone games in its history. If you want to see some interesting games by a player, or of a certain opening, this is usually a good place to start.

The lists of notable games are calculated by finding the games which most frequently appear in our users' game collections. Notable games are chosen democratically by Chessgames members, and do not necessarily represent the opinions of the Chessgames.com staff.

If you want to "vote" for a game, simply put it in one of your game collections.>
