AMAZING CHECKMATE! These are games that have combinations that lead into checkmate. A lot of them are unexpected, surprising moves by great masters of the game! 9 games, 1788-2006 Capablanca's Best Chess Endings Games from Irving Chernev's "Capablanca's Best Chess Endings" The opening of a game is important - and hundreds of books are written on the opening. The opening leads to the midgame. The midgame is important - and hundreds of books are written on the midgame. The midgame leads to the endgame. The endgame is important - and *no books are written on the endgame*! Yes, there are books, but they concern themselves with composed endings, or with theoretical (and for the most part artificial) positions. The composed endings are admittedly beautiful, but they are of limited value, as they have no relationship to practical play. Of the theoretical positions, many have their uses, but one must sift the wheat from the chaff. TO what use can we put such knowledge as the procedure for mating with a Knight and Bishop, or with the two Bishops, when an opportunity to do so may not occur in a lifetime? And why burden our minds with the manner of forcing mate with three knights (believe-it-or-not) or winning with four minor pieces against a Queen (sans Pans) when such positions as these have never yet been seen on land or sea? Capablanca himself says : "In order to improve your game, you must study the endgame before anything else; for whereas the endings can be studied and mastered by themselves, the middlegame and the opening must be studied in relation to the endgame." There are no books on endings from real life, no books from the practices of masters in actual play, let alone from the practice of a single master. This fact alone is enough to justify this book of endings, selected from the tournament and match play of the greatest endgame virtuoso the world has ever seen - the immortal Capablanca. Here are wondrous endings to enchant the reader, endings of breathtaking artistry. Here are endings of astonishing accuracy, whose relentless logic will inspire the earnest student to emulate a similar technique - the technique of seeking a clear-cut, efficient win, instead of a display of fireworks. The games are given in full, in order to show how a slight advantage acquired in the early stages, is carried forward and exploited in the endgame. I have annotated the endings in detail (a consideration they have rarely received before) for the better appreciation of the fine points of Capablanca's play, and have given credit to those who have anticipated my findings. -- Irving Chernev 60 games, 1901-1936 checkmate 44 games, 1846-2018 Evans Gambit The Evans Gambit : 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.b4!? click for larger view 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.b4 Bxb4 5.c3 Be7 6.d4 Na5 click for larger view 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.b4 Bxb4 5.c3 Bd6 click for larger view 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.b4 Bxb4 5.c3 Bf8 click for larger view 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.b4 Bxb4 5.c3 Bc5 click for larger view 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.b4 Bxb4 5.c3 Ba5 6.d4 d6 click for larger view 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.b4 Bxb4 5.c3 Ba5 6.d4 exd4 7.0-0 Nge7 click for larger view 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.b4 Bxb4 5.c3 Ba5 6.d4 exd4 7.0-0 d6 click for larger view 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.b4 Bxb4 5.c3 Ba5 6.d4 exd4 7.0-0 dxc3 8.Qb3 click for larger view 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.b4 Bxb4 5.c3 Ba5 6.d4 exd4 7.0-0 Nf6 click for larger view 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.b4 Bxb4 5.c3 Ba5 6.d4 exd4 7.0-0 Bb6 8.cxd4 d6 click for larger view 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.b4 Bxb4 5.c3 Ba5 6.d4 Qf6 7.0-0 click for larger view 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.b4 Bxb4 5.c3 Ba5 6.d4 Nf6 7.exd5 click for larger view Evans Gambit Declined: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.b4 Bb6 click for larger view 81 games, 1829-2013 Games from Taimanov's Book: TAIMANOV'S SELECTED This is my favorite chess book!! 50 games, 1948-1986 markku's favorite games - 15 games, 1849-2019 markkumatt's favorite games 16 games, 1918-2021 Mikhail Tal's Best Games The best games of Tal's career. Believe me, playing in such a style, this guy has no chess future. – Peter Romanovsky (on a young Tal) Later, I began to succeed in decisive games. Perhaps because I realized a very simple truth: not only was I worried, but also my opponent. – Mikhail Tal Tal enjoys excitement and hair-raising complications, and in that kind of game he can find his way around better than anyone else. – Paul Keres I like to grasp the initiative and not give my opponent peace of mind. – Mikhail Tal The chess story of Mikhail Tal is about the act itself of straining against the leash of limited human imagination to create mammoth combinations on the chessboard. During his games, Tal wished to go where no chess player had ever gone before, choosing the middlegame as his métier for creative expression. He burned energy profligately. A chain-smoker and a heavy drinker, Tal pulsated nervous energy, pacing like a caged tiger in between moves. And as a young man with those famous fierce, hooded eyes and that imposing hooked nose, he bulldozed all before him. – Larry Parr Tal doesn't move the pieces by hand; he uses a magic wand. – Vyacheslav Ragozin There are two kinds of sacrifices; correct ones and mine. – Mikhail Tal Some sacrifices are sound; the rest are mine. – Mikhail Tal First, how to sac my queen, then rook, then bishop, then knight, then pawns. – Mikhail Tal (on what he thinks about after his opponent moves) I will not hide the fact that I love to hear the spectators react after a sacrifice of a piece or pawn. – Mikhail Tal Tal develops all his pieces in the center and then sacrifices them somewhere. – David Bronstein Even after losing four games in a row to him I still consider his play unsound. He is always on the lookout for some spectacular sacrifice, that one shot, that dramatic breakthrough to give him the win. – Bobby Fischer (on Tal) They compare me with Lasker, which is an exaggerated honor. Lasker made mistakes in every game and I only in every second one! – Mikhail Tal Tal was a fearless fighter. Nobody could successfully accomplish so many incorrect maneuvers! He simply smashed his opponents. – Bent Larsen Tal's genius consists of posing his opponents with tempting ways to go wrong. – Larry Evans I was surprised by his ability to figure out complex variations. Then the way he sets out the game; he was not interested in the objectivity of the position, whether it's better or worse, he only needed room for his pieces. All you do then is figure out variations which are extremely difficult. He was tactically outplaying me and I made mistakes. – Mikhail Botvinnik (on Tal) I realized that you cannot tackle him if the pieces are mobile and active. I played closed positions in which Tal could gain no advantage. Tal had no positional understanding for closed games. – Mikhail Botvinnik (on their '61 rematch) If Tal would learn to program himself properly, then it would become quite impossible to play against him. – Mikhail Botvinnik Botvinnik’s right! When he says such things, then he’s right. Usually, I prefer not to study chess but to play it. For me chess is more an art than a science. It’s been said that Alekhine and I played similar chess, except that he studied more. Yes, perhaps, but I have to say that he played, too. – Mikhail Tal When I lost the title to Botvinnik, chess could be played quietly again! – Mikhail Tal Mother, I have just become Ex-World Champion. – Mikhail Tal (on returning home after losing the '61 rematch to Botvinnik) I did not take the tournament too seriously. I walked around the pressroom, smoked a few cigarettes and sacrificed some pieces. I am waiting until next year when I can become a new ex-world champion. – Mikhail Tal (on the '88 World Blitz Championship, which he won) It's funny, but many people don't understand why I draw so many games nowadays. They think my style must have changed but this is not the case at all. The answer to this drawing disease is that my favorite squares are e6, f7, g7 and h7 and everyone now knows this. They protect these squares not once but four times! – Mikhail Tal For him chess was his life. Without the game he could not exist. – Engelina Tal (on her late husband Mikhail) The man who has proved that you can reach the top and remain human. – Mikhail Tal (on who his chess hero was) My head is full of sunshine. – Mikhail Tal I couldn’t make myself dislike him. – Mikhail Botvinnik (on Tal) If you wait for luck to turn up, life becomes very boring. – Mikhail Tal In chess, at least, the brave inherit the earth. – Edmar Mednis (commenting on Tal) Analyzing his chess games is tantamount to discussing what God looks like. - Vladimir Kramnik 132 games, 1953-1992 My 60 Memorable Games/Fischer These quotes and games are from the out-of-print book My 60 Memorable Games. Authors Preface The 60 games annotated in this volume were al during 1957 through '67 and, with the exception of nos. 44 and 50, under strict tournament conditions. The notes frequently include reference to additional games, occsionally presenting them in full. An interested reader will find 34 of my earlier efforts in Bobby Fischer's Chess Games (Simon and Schuster, 1959). All 60 here offer contain, for me, something memorable and exciting---even the 3 losses. I have tried to be both candid and precise in my elucidations in the hope that they would offer insights into chess that wil lead to fuller understanding and better play. Finally I wish to express my gratitude to Larry Evans, friend and colleague, for his invaluable aid in preparation of the text well as foir his lucid introductions Robert J.

My index currently includes 120 books -- some are the subject of more than one collection and some have more than one volume but are counted as one book. (In addition, one game collection based on a DVD is included: Bashing the Sicilian with Bb5, Volume 2 (DVD), by Chandler, Murray.) In other words, if you own a chess book and would like to be able to use your computer screen and the mere click of a mouse to play through the games that are included in the book, here is the easy way to find those games and play through them using the convenient java interfaces available on chessgames.com. Thanks to the chessgames.com members who have taken the time to create game collections that contain the games featured in these books. It appears that a similar off-site effort is here: http://www.gambitchess.com/semi/db2....
