Games for my Tactics School,

Text Scores Only

(No annotations)

You should carefully study every game - with a chess board and a chess set. Ideally, you should download the game in PGN or ChessBase format. Then study them on your own chess-board
or computer. (See the parent page for details.)

However, this may not always be possible, so I have decided to provide these games here as well. I advise studying the game, (the un-annotated version); SEVERAL times for 2-3 hours, before even peeking at the annotated version of these games.
