Penguincw Games
Compiled by Penguincw
--*--

These games are meaningful in some way to me on chessgames.com. These could be because of kibitzes, prediction contests, ChessBookie, etc. Games are in order by date.

This should not be confused with my favourite games, which can be found here: Game Collection: Penguincw's Favourite Games

Also, games I've uploaded to the database don't count, at least not here: Game Collection: Games I uploaded.
