Super Strong Simuls This is a game collection to highlight events where some the world's best players take on a team of very strong competition. As far as I know, for the moment only Kramnik and Kasparov have played these. 34 games, 1992-2008 The Games of Rudolf Spielmann A Brilliant and creative attacking player. 44 games, 1903-1934 The great hall of immortal games Paul Morphy, Bobby Fischer, Jose Capablanca, Wilhelm Steinitz, Emmanuel Lasker, Aron Nimzowitsch, Rudolf Charousek, Carlos Torre Repetto and many other great chess artists. 84 games, 1497-2009 The Unknown Rubinstein - Forgotten treasures This game collection includes great chessgames missing from popular books on Rubinstein like Kmoch's or Razuvaev's work. Most of them are not widely known because they were hard to find and long forgotten. There are many nice tactics, interesting combinations, great strategic masterpieces and - for sure - excellent endgames. 75 games, 1897-1931 The Unknown Rubinstein - Forgotten treasures This game collection includes great chessgames missing from popular books on Rubinstein like Kmoch's or Razuvaev's work. Most of them are not widely known because they were hard to find and long forgotten. There are many nice tactics, interesting combinations, great strategic masterpieces and - for sure - excellent endgames. 75 games, 1897-1931 ultra chess thinking chess 98 games, 1620-2007 Upside Down Rooks: Games with 4 or More Queens Games with at least four queens on the board at the same time. The play with so many queens is often unusual, but rarely lasts for long. With all that firepower generally somebody gets checkmated or perpetualated in a hurry, or else the players feel compelled to simplify down to a saner situation. Our current record holders, with six queens apiece, are E Szalanczy vs T Nguyen, 2009 and D Anton Guijarro vs A Franco, 2011. Belov vs V Prohorov, 1991, a five queens games, is one of the most fascinating of the bunch. White had at least two queens for fifty moves in a row, but still wound up losing! B Belopolsky vs B M Kogan, 1984 has the distinction of two four queen situations. Additions are welcome; just leave a note over at my place. Last update: <February 28, 2018> 262 games, 1856-2018
