50 Essential Chess Lessons Steve Giddins 45 games, 1912-2002 500 Master Games of Chess '500 Master Games of Chess' by Savielly Tartakower and Julius Du Mont. This is often cited as the one book avid chess players would take to the proverbial "desert island." Though the newest games are nearly 100 years old, for anyone under 2000, this is a treasure trove of brilliant games and analysis. I've found 5 games missing from other collections, but am still missing 361, 374, 417, 435, 438, and 454. 494 games, 1788-1938 AVRO 1938 NOTE : This collection has now been superceded by AVRO (1938) In November 1938 a Dutch radio company AVRO (Algemeene Vereeniging voor Radio Omroep) organized and sponsored what was up to that time the strongest tournament ever held. AVRO (literally the General Association for Radio Broadcasting) brought together the World Champion and every one of his major challengers. It ran from the 6th of November to the 27th of November 1938 with the players based in Amsterdam and each successive round played in a different Dutch town. This tournament schedule proved to be tough for the older competitors and Capablanca and Alyekhin did not fare as well as might have been expected. In the end Keres and Fine finished in joint first place with Keres declared the winner as a result of a better tie-break score. - 56 games, 1938 Best Lessons of a Chess Coach All the main and supplemental games from this terrific instructional text. 15 games, 1905-1992 Bobby Fischer Rediscovered (Andy Soltis) Games featured in the above book. 99 games, 1956-1992 Capablanca's Best Chess Endings Games from Irving Chernev's "Capablanca's Best Chess Endings" 60 games, 1901-1936 Logical Chess: Move by Move (Irvin Chernev) 35 games, 1889-1992 Masters of the Chessboard (Reti) 'Masters of the Chessboard' by Richard Reti. 21st century edition.
