Fantastic Games

--*--

Games that have probably been composed or doctored

The famous Alekhine 5 Queens game
Alekhine vs NN, 1915 
(C12) French, McCutcheon, 29 moves, 1-0

Not proved dubious, but I don't believe it was really played..
R Steel vs R Macdonald Ross, 1884 
(C25) Vienna, 25 moves, 1/2-1/2

A tad harsh.....Tim Krabbe thinks it is genuine.
Tylkowski vs A Wojciechowski, 1931 
(A03) Bird's Opening, 40 moves, 0-1

This one is likely to be true....
M Ortueta Esteban vs J Sanz Aguado, 1933 
(C00) French Defense, 35 moves, 0-1

Declared a hoax by Tim Krabbe in Chess Curiosities
C van de Loo vs M Hesseling, 1983 
(C57) Two Knights, 48 moves, 1-0

16....Na6!! leads to stunning complications that favour Black
C van de Loo vs M Hesseling, 2008 
(B12) Caro-Kann Defense, 54 moves, 0-1
