White to play ... and make his 36th move.

(http://en.chessbase.com/post/alekhi..., The CB article, where this game is annotated in some detail. IMO, these annotations are pretty good, you can also DL a copy to your PC.)

This game made such an impression on me that I decided to create this GC just to memorialize it. (If you know of any other games that should be included, please drop me a line.)

The #2.) game <(when it is posted)> will be the 2006 game between Bu Xiangzhi and F. Berkes. (Space played a huge factor there, as well, see my player page for a copy of the PGN score.)

The #3.) game is a famous game of Capablanca's ... and it immediately came to mind when I made this game collection. (It is a fairly well-known game on this website, <"V" for Victory>.)

I RE-SUMITTED THE FOLLOWING GAME TODAY - please see my player page, A J Goldsby ... for a PGN copy of the game: Xiangzhi Bu - Ferenc Berkes Taiyuan Schev; China / 2006. It's an impressive game where space is also a factor.
