Old men vs. time - Appendix
Compiled by SkySports
--*--

When searching for games to include in my Game Collection: Old men (and women) vs. time , I found different good games played by old men (and women) which didn't have all the characteristics required to be included in the collection (player was not a GM or a pre-1950 top player, he/she was one or two years younger than the limit age of 70 I had set, the opponent elo rating was lower than 2200, and so on…). As these games, in my opinion, still represent very good performances by these aged players, I have created this additional collection.
