A chess fan, but not that good.
Openings I like White:
Evans
Vienna (King's Gambit Declined by Transposition)
Advance french
Black:
Scandinavian Qd6
Chigorin Defense
Sacrifices I enjoy:
Greek gift and 2 Bishop Sacrifice
Also, the mate against castled king called Anastasia's mate. Philidor's Legacy (who doesn't love this pattern?). Endgames:
Not that big into it, but some king + pawn endgames are amazing. Favorite Chess Players:
Morphy!!!
Blackburn!!
Cool Chess games:
Some Spassky immortals, like Larsen-Spassky 1.b3...
but I don't look at many of his games.
Really anything by Morphy...
Some cool Steinitz games where he attacks h7 with a rook sac (Steinitz-Chigorin, Roy Lopez, for example)

I recommend looking at annotations of master games, and A.J. Goldsby does an excellent job annotating so many Morphy, Steinitz...etc. games that we would have forgotten otherwise.

Shogi is a fun game also, similar to chess, but I like chess more.

Least favorite openings to meet:
(as white)
Modern, 1...g7
(as black)
Anything besides 1. e4.
1.d4 d5 2.Nc3 is unbearable.

In short...
Tactics>Positions
Morphy>Everyone
Studying>Playing

   Oct-25-12 K Rogoff vs S Spencer, 1969
 
e4 resigns: 20...Ke7 21. Rf7+ Kd6 22. Bf4+ Be5 23. Bxe5# All moves are forced. This is the shortest solution I found, and might not be the correct one. It does promise checkmate, though. 19...Nh5 20. Rf6+ Ke7 (Ke8 21. Re1+ Kd7 22. Rf7+ Kd6 23. Re6#) 21. Rf7+ Ke8 22. Re1+ It is fairly easy
 
   Oct-22-12 Blackburne vs NN, 1875
 
e4 resigns: After 11...Bxf3 I would play 12.gxf3 with an eventual Kh1 and Rg1. After 11...Bxf3 12.Bxf7 Kf8 13.gxf3 Nxe5 and then Black looks a lot better, considering the continuation 14.Bxg8 Nxf3 15. Kg2 Nh4. Knight will eventually return via g6 e5, just watch out for the mate and black ...
 
   Aug-24-12 Kasparov vs Karpov, 1984 (replies)
 
e4 resigns: <Karpov blundered: Instead of 36.Qd7+, he should have played Rd5!!> I assume you mean 36...Qd7+, because Kasparov is white. Rd5 is a blunder, not deserving !! at all.
 
   Aug-24-12 Gossip vs Bird, 1873 (replies)
 
e4 resigns: <Instead of 7.d4??, White should have played the simple 7. Nxh4 that bags a knight!> Uh...
 
   Aug-11-12 Heinberg vs Hansen, 1976
 
e4 resigns: No kibitzing? Guess I'll have to annotate this myself: Move 1-11: Book moves 14...Nf5 might have something to do with Blackburne's notes in a similar game: < Blackburne vs Mr. L, 1886 > 21. Rael, with the idea of Re8. 21...Be6 22.Re4, 21...Bf5 22.Qxf5 Nd2 (22...Qh6 23. ...
 
   Aug-09-12 Spielmann vs R Wahle, 1926 (replies)
 
e4 resigns: 9...PN3 or g6 does not lose immediately. Don't give it a ??. It was the inaccuracies of 9...g6 10...c6 and 11...0-0, all which could be given a ? or ?!,

e4 resigns: Gossip had a beard more epic than Chigorin! Oh yeah, he was also a good chess player...

e4 resigns: The World Vs NN <There are two different kinds of people in The World: those who finish what they start, and> 1+
