This will be my page for the archives for my  ...  "Game Of The Month"  Feature  ... ... ... 
beginning in January, 2005.  

 


  Games for 2005  

  •   - Game # 16.   (January, 2005.)   An intense game of fighting chess by one of the
        world's top grand-masters. Good, tactical, creative, and highly competitive chess! 

  •   - Game # 17(February, 2005.)   Two of the world's best GM's go toe-to-toe, in 
        one of one of the most theoretically significant games - for the whole year.  Black wins!  
        Very interesting tactics!! A truly incredible game ... that is deeply annotated - with  
        diagrams! (And a link to a popular site that has the game in a replayable format.)   

  •   - Game  # 18(March, 2005.)  One of the years' biggest open tournaments ended   
         in a five way tie. This was one of the games that helped decide first place! And this 
         month, you get a special treat. Annotated games in the download. And its all free!  

  •   -  Game # 19,  (April, 2005.):  A game from the last tournament that Garry Kasparov   
         was to play in. It is a brilliant game, annotated in a style befitting such a great game.   
         It is a fighting Sicilian, it starts off as a Najdorf, but transposes to a Scheveningen 
         System. The tactics here are phenomenal, and well worth studying over, and over   
         and over again!!!    

  •   -  Game # 20,   (May, 2005):   Here is a game in the fianchetto system of the KID.  
         (The KID = The King's Indian Defense.) It is a great game, with neither player willing  
          to take a draw. The tension is maintained right up to the last moment. The winner is  
          decided only by a mistake in time pressure, but this does not detract from the beauty  
          of the game, at least - not for me. All the fans of the KID will want to check this game   
          out. It is keyed to MCO, and there are a couple of valuable research links as well.  

  •    -  Game  # 21,   (June, 2005):    Here is a super-fighting game of chess, it almost 
          appears that both players had an agreement NOT to make a draw. The combatants 
          stand in there throwing punches ... until one of them is finally knocked out. This game  
          also was a very important factor in determining who won the tournament. And not only  
          this, it was a VERY complicated and relatively rare sideline of the "Botvinnik Gambit." 
          So - just so I could better understand it - I subjected it to some intense analysis.  

  •   -  Game # 22.   (July, 2005.)   An extremely good and interesting tactical game. 
          Further ... it is by one of the players that many considered to be the natural 
          heir to the World Championship Crown ... at least at one time. (Check it out!)  

  •    -  Game # 23.    (August, 2005.)    A tough game that allows the winner's team to  
          slip by his opponent's team. Furthermore, the winner's team ... eventually came   
          out on top in the 2005 European Team Championships. A nicely done game.  

  •    -  Game  # 24  (September, 2005.)    A fantastic game by a legend of chess  ...   
          who proves that he still has what it takes. A truly incredible contest, with a DEEPLY  
          {annotated} opening survey on the "Queen's Indian Defense." (Probably three 
           weeks of work!)  (A nicely done game, so please ... check it out.)  

  •    - Game # 25.    (October, 2005)   A very well annotated game between a 2700+ 
         GM and another GM rated almost 2650. It took over two weeks of analytical work,  
         and several days of formatting to bring this web page to life. Additionally, there are  
         many links that I am sure you will find valuable - and the download contains several   
         nicely annotated games - it is maybe one of the best jobs that I have ever done.  

  •    - Game  # 26.    (November, 2006.)   A game that is very carefully annotated. It also  
         helped determine the flow of a tournament that decided a new World Champion. And  
         I discovered many things (analytically) about this contest that others had missed or had  
         perhaps glossed over. And the download contains several nicely annotated games. All  
         in all, it adds up to something worth taking a look at.  Check it out  ...  and let me know!   

  •    -  Game  # 27.    (December, 2005.)    Another game that is carefully annotated ... 
          in a very controversial opening variation. (The Benoni.) A game that is sure to please  
          both the amateur and the more experienced player ... even a master should find this 
          game stimulating. (All the major lines are incorporated into this game.) Check it out!  


    If you have seen an interesting game, that has been played recently, please bring it to my attention. Remember, I have to be able to verify this game in TWIC or ChessBase   BEFORE   I will even consider trying to annotate it!!  (Page created November 23rd, 2004.)
