 | | OhioChessFan: Thanks <tps>. The top 2 dominated voting. I'd bet #3 would be a big surprise to those who check out the list. |

| | OhioChessFan: Going through the Top 10. This really struck me, besides those I voted for: Ding Liren vs Caruana, 2019 Beautiful game by Ding...constantly surprising me with the moves he made. I tend to be a player like "Patzer sees capture, patzer makes capture", but he passed on a bundle of them, and always correct for doing so. Great year by Ding. <tps> tell me if there's a cutoff date you want to stop comments. I'm working my way through every link posted. |

| | OhioChessFan: #3 by <Fairy Promotion>. This is spectacular. Playing a Queen down for a longggg time. D Gukesh vs Y Kryvoruchko, 2019 |
|

| | OhioChessFan: Finished up playing through all the games. Ding and Carlsen had great years, obviously. It's interesting to me that the Ding games just awe you, while the Carlsen games seem like such easy wins you forget how good his opposition is as he just thrashes people. |

I'm working my way through every link posted> This is the time and place to discuss the results, so we can learn from those games. If the site can also present them in sequence, even better. Ding Liren vs Caruana, 2019 was my top game for 2019. White displayed impressive maneuvering in the QRRN situation, against someone very hard to beat. Thanks to everyone who voted. |

| | OhioChessFan: Met a 9YO today, he clearly understood opposition, after a game, I asked him if he knew how to mate with Rook and King. He didn't give a definite yes, so I set up a position and played it out. I noticed he always moved his King in opposition when I had to back my King up a rank. But he didn't know what to do when I'd shuffle my King back and forth. You know what I mean, something like this, White to move, after him chasing my Kc6/d6/c6/d6 and him replying Kc4/d4/c4/d4:
click for larger viewSo I showed him one time how to lose a move with his Rook. He gave a quiet nod, and immediately had it figured out. I remember back to my early days of chess and having fits with winning that ending. I was impressed that it took him being shown one time to immediately have it part of his arsenal. |

Something you just do visually. My first move (even though it isn't tablebase best) would be Rc5.
Simply limit the king between c5/c8 and c5/h5. As the king moves you limit more. If it doesn't allow more limiting you bring your king in. |

| Jul-07-20 | | jith1207: The user has never kibitzed since 2004, but premium paid forum is used for the best game collections. Sorry, I don't know the history, just found out this forum, appreciate whoever that manages this. |

 | | jessicafischerqueen:
<jith1207> it is User: tpstar (Tony Palmer) who created and manages that forum. |
|
| Jul-08-20 | | jith1207: <JFQ>: thank you, I also noticed that shortly after, makes sense as he ran 2019 top ten games as GOTD in Jan. |

| | tpstar: <jith1207> Back in the early days, members could only have eight Game Collections per handle. I used <tpstar> for White openings and created <bgitw> for Black openings. That feature has since been updated allowing hundreds of Game Collections for Premium members. This space hosts the annual Best Games contest, which starts on January 2. My chessforum was a target for cyberstalking, so I shut it down. |
|
| Jul-08-20 | | jith1207: Thank you <tpstar>, I am going to check out the best games of past few years referenced here, surely I've missed some of them. Next year will be very interesting for me in this context. |
|
Jul-08-20
| | jessicafischerqueen:
<tpstar> I believe that at the present time Premium members have no limit on the number of their games collections. |
|

| | OhioChessFan: I always meant to ask if "bgitw" meant "best game in the world". |
|
| Sep-06-20 | | jith1207: <<<<<Best Games in the Web> as in <CG.com>>>>> |

| | OhioChessFan: Do any of the regular participants in the Best Games of the Year polling wish to keep it going? I could conduct it here or my forum or create a new account. Please let me know ASAP. |

<Ohio>
I am not a regular participant but I would be happy to become a participant. Just let me know what to do and I will do it.
Not just on Best Games of the Year polling/participation- on anything else either. I am always up for good advice. |
|
| Dec-20-20 | | jith1207: Sorry <OCF>, I'm not regular as I used to be, I have not followed chess properly this year to suggest good games, but I'd participate in coming weeks if there's a poll. Thank you for keeping it rolling, I could hopefully get back to visiting often in the New year. |
