Boden's Mate Games that end in Boden's mate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boden'... 18 games, 1853-2017 Classical Games These are the games that were selected by GM Avetik Grigoryan for his ChessMood course "Commented Classical Games." 42 games, 1904-2006 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. 382 games, 1872-2021 En passant mates These are games where a player effected checkmate by capturing a pawn en passant. It's very rare, I think even rarer than mating by castling. I think it's become more common in recent years since anyone can play thousands of games on the Internet. I have the rare distinction of having achieved this feat twice! IM and chess streamer Eric Rosen, who has surely played more games than I, says that he has also done it twice, which I guess makes us the unofficial joint world record-holders. He looks at 25(!) games with en passant checkmates, assembled for him by Mark-Dev, who apparently wrote computer script to find such games from games played on lichess, at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKX... 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 76 games, 1851-2016 Games I submitted to chessgames.com 113 games, 1896-2014 Games I want to study 31 games, 1928-2020 Games with notation errors These are games where the score as given by chessgames.com is apparently wrong. 78 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 29 games, 1890-2021 Horrible theoretical novelties These are games where someone played a <really bad> theoretical novelty in a well-known position. 36 games, 1851-2019 How to Lose Quickly to From's Gambit 49 games, 1802-2021 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). 17 games, 1850-2021 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. Ideally in doing so the player attacks another piece (usually the king) with the rook, thus winning material. 15 games, 1884-2020
