Modern - Dzindzi's 4...Bxc3+ 5.bxc3 f5 31 games, 1984-2012 My favorite puns This is a collection of puns I consider particularly memorable (by anyone, not just me). 34 games, 1913-2015 O-O-O(+) attacking a rook on b2/b7 These are games in which a player castles queenside, attacking a rook on b2 or b7 with the king. Ideally in doing so the player attacks another piece (usually the king) with the rook, thus winning material. 23 games, 1884-2022 Open Games Various games beginning with 1.e4 e5. 1 game, 1982 Opening traps 125 games, 1620-2025 Outrageous swindles 16 games, 1843-2024 Pawns Run Amok 13 games, 1834-2020 Playing Black against the London System This is a collection of promising and/or interesting ways for Black to play against the hated London System (1.d4 and 2.Bf4, or 2.Nf3 and 3.Bf4). 6 games, 1990-2023 Puns I submitted Each of these games was made Game of the Day by chessgames.com using the pun I had submitted for it. 237 games, 1769-2024 Qd8+!!/...Qd1+!! A queen sacrifice on d8 or d1 sets up a double check followed by forced mate. 4 games, 1910-1964 Qg6!/...Qg3! These are games where the winning move is Qg6! by White or ...Qg3! by Black (not a capture in either case), placing the queen where it can be captured by at least one pawn, preferably two. Ideally, the move is a "quiet" one rather than a check. 10 games, 1894-2021 Quadrupled pawns 7 games, 1907-2010 Queen Traps Games in which a player's queen gets trapped. 83 games, 1843-2024 Reshevsky plays 11 world champions Reshevsky played every world champion from Lasker to Karpov, winning games against seven of them, and drawing at least one game against each of the other four. 11 games, 1935-1991 Semi-Tarrasch 8...Nc6! 8 games, 1972-2009 Spectacular draws 9 games, 1863-2007 Stalemate! 56 games, 1846-2018 Super-brevities These are decisive games of five or fewer moves. 63 games, 1893-2025 The Novotny theme These are games featuring the rare and beautiful Novotny theme, the sacrifice of a piece at the intersection of two lines (e.g. a rank or file, and a diagonal), with the result that one of the opponent's defensive lines is blocked, often resulting in an immediate win for the player playing the Novotny move.
