Aug-16-12 Rossolimo vs P Reissmann, 1967

Organizer: I knew Rossolimo. He ran a chess studio in Greenwich Village, NY in the 1960s. He was a wonderful guy, and had many grandmasters visit the studio, including Bobby Fischer.

Organizer: Tal proves again and again that he was one of the most imaginative and biggest risk takers in the chess game. He might have had a better record if he was more conservative but chess would have not had gems like this one. |

Mar-26-06 Kasparov vs Topalov, 1999 
|
Organizer: Kasparov is imo the greatest chess champion ever considering the quality of his victories, the quality of his opponents (human & computers) and the quantity of years he not only endured but prevailed. Karpov, Fischer, Lasker are runner-ups. |

Mar-26-06 Geller vs A Kapengut, 1971 
|
Organizer: Geller's positional play was superb!
If ... BxQ, then Bd4x! Then all black can do is block at g7 with the B or R. Either leaves a mating play by white's remaining rook. |

|
Organizer: Tal may not have been the greatest player to ever be World Chess Champion (Kasparov has that honor) but his games are always a sense of adventure and a joy to behold! |
