| | OhioChessFan:
Thanks <tpstar>. Look forward to playing over all the games submitted:1. Nakamura vs Grischuk, 2017 Got my vote for GOTY in the Caissars. Not sure why people think games need to be decisive to be great. 2. Anand vs Caruana, 2017 Vishy blows away Caruana in only 29 moves.
3. J Duda vs Eljanov, 2017 Attack, attack, attack. Usually not my cup of tea, but Duda just blasts away with a Kingside blitzkrieg. 4. J Bai vs Ding Liren, 2017 Ding's minor piece masterpiece.
5. Kramnik vs V Fedoseev, 2017 My mandatory Caro-Kann win for Black. Against Kramnik, no less. 6. Ivanchuk vs Wei Yi, 2017 Chucky's fun King Walk.
7. Kramnik vs Harikrishna, 2017 Most underrated game of the year. Glad to see the old guys still have some game. 8. Carlsen vs Bu Xiangzhi, 2017 Sac a piece, with Black, against the WCC? No problem. 9. Tarjan vs Kramnik, 2017 The youngster Vladdy gets schooled by a veteran. 10. Wei Yi vs I Nepomniachtchi, 2017 Long endgame grind, unbalanced material, that's what I'm talking about. |

| | tpstar: 1) Aronian vs Carlsen, 2017 A wonderful inspired attack where everything clicks start to finish. 2) J Xiong vs W So, 2017 21 ... Nxf2!! and 28 ... Rd8!! highlight a brilliant attack and Wesley So won the US Championship. 3) R Wojtaszek vs Topalov, 2017 22 ... Rxb2!! is an amazingly original conception by Topalov who closed it out in style. 4) J Bai vs Ding Liren, 2017 After giving up Q for RN, every Black piece coordinates to attack the White King. 5) Anand vs Caruana, 2017 26. Qd4!! sets up a brilliant finish. 6) Carlsen vs Bu Xiangzhi, 2017 The definitive game from the World Cup, ending with a cute Pawn Promotion motif. 7) B Ider vs Yifan Hou, 2017 A nice Queen sacrifice leads to a patient positional grind. 8) Ivanchuk vs Wei Yi, 2017 The King is a fighting piece! 9) Tarjan vs Kramnik, 2017 Never underestimate the old guard. 10) M Deutsch vs Carlsen, 2017 For non-players, the most famous game of the year. Honorable Mention: Antal-Vorobiov (La Roda Open, 2017) which is not in the database: https://chesstempo.com/gamedb/game/... |
