101 games, 1625-2007 - Great Players
There were many great chess players and even more chess brilliancies. Here is a collection of some of the best players and some of their best games. I could have started with the great Lucena or Francois-André Philidor but I decided that it was best to begin in the Nineteenth Century since it was only then that strong players were plentiful enough to allow a self proclaimed genius to test himself against others who wanted to be known as “the best.”

| 21 games, 1834-1910 - Positional and Strategic Brilliancies
These are the seldomly appreciated brilliancies played with tremendous accuracy and skill. Endgame skill and great Positional play are what make these games brilliant. I give you a collection of these "hidden" gems. (Under Construction)

| 52 games, 1886-2008 - Psychology and Mind games in chess
This is the partially forgotten 4th stage of chess. This collection is the use of human emotion, attitude and deception, both on and off the board, in hopes of outwitting their opponent.

This game collection is dedicated to the show the beauty of the defense and the potency of the counter-attack.

| 59 games, 1858-2008 - The Greatest Games of all Time
This collection is dedicated to (what I think) are some of the greatest games ever played (I say some as there will be more in the future). These games are in no specific order.

| 101 games, 1834-2008 - The Greatest Games of All time 2
My first greatest games collection couldn't it all these games, so I decided to make a new one. this collection on the other hand is for games of lower value but still deserve to be called "great".

| 57 games, 1849-2008 - The King Takes a Walk
This is a game collection dedicated to the king walks and King hunts that facinate us in the game of chess. These are the criteria:
1)The King walk must take place in the middlegame not in the endgame as this is basic and the king is in not much danger. 2)A king hunt must have his opponent's king take a stroll unwillingly.
