Boden's Mate Games that end in Boden's mate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boden'... 17 games, 1853-2017 Drawing lines These are short games (or in a few cases long games that could have been agreed drawn much earlier) that end in a draw as a logical consequence of the position, usually by perpetual check or other repetition of position, or by an agreed draw in a very drawish endgame. 356 games, 1872-2019 En passant mates These are games where a player effected checkmate by capturing a pawn en passant. It's very rare, comparable in rarity to mating by castling. I think it's become more common in recent years since anyone can play thousands of games on the Internet. As far as I know, I am the only person who has managed to achieve this feat twice! 4 games, 1928-2017 Exchange Sacrifices These are games where a player sacrificed a rook for a bishop or knight, ultimately achieving at least a draw. 10 games, 1908-1992 FSR's favorite games 69 games, 1851-2012 Games I submitted to chessgames.com 111 games, 1896-2014 Games I want to study 22 games, 1928-2017 Games with notation errors These are games where the score as given by chessgames.com is apparently wrong. 69 games, 1897-2019 Great comebacks These are games where one player got a losing position early on (for example, by blundering away a piece), but came back to win or draw the game. 7 games, 1851-2018 Great players lose miniatures 17 games, 1890-2012 Horrible theoretical novelties These are games where someone played a <really bad> theoretical novelty in a well-known position. 29 games, 1851-2016 Kasparov-Deep Blue 1997 6 games, 1997 Lilienthal! Andre Lilienthal, who died in 2010 at age 99, met or played every world champion except Steinitz, beating Lasker, Capablanca, Euwe, Botvinnik (twice), and Smyslov (four times). According to his biography, he also beat Alekhine "in a serious game," but I haven't seen that game. 15 games, 1933-1953 Mate by Castling These are games where a player effected checkmate by castling (or came close to doing so, in the case of the Honorable Mentions). 15 games, 1850-2019 Miniatures 5 games, 1910-2002 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). 31 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, and attacking another piece (usually the king) with the rook, thus winning material. 10 games, 1884-2017 Open Games Various games beginning with 1.e4 e5. 1 game, 1982 Opening traps 1 game, 2001
