Tuesday / September 8th, 2009: A new page ... that will contain lightly annotated miniatures.
June, 2003: I just posted several new games on my "Downloads" site, plus my page on "Recent GM Games" has been great updated ... so you will want to check this one out. Many high-quality annotated games. Check it out!!!
*******
February, 2005: I don't have very many games posted there ... yet. However, I have a page of annotated games that you should really see. Some of the games are VERY nicely annotated, a couple even have a comment after every move. Not only this, but they are in a beautiful (MK) viewer, you do not even need a chess set! (Re-play them right there on your computer!) You really must check this out!! (Please tell me what you think!)
(Click here
to see the web site where I got this picture from.)
Make
sure you check all my other web sites for the DOZENS of annotated
games that are available there!!
(See the "Services I Offer Page," for a complete list!
Go to my "Site Map" to find any page!)
***
You
should also visit my "Chess Down-Loads Site,"
and see all the annotated games offered there.
(One of the best games of all times is easily the game Paul Morphy vs. The Count of Isouard and The Duke of Brunswick. [Paris, 1858.] Please consult the {past} issue of The Georgia State Chess Magazine, Sept; 1999.)
(See diagram below.)
(Position after White's tenth move, 10. Nxb5!!)
(Its here!! The above game annotated in great depth!!!
Click HERE
to go there now.)
I consider this to be one of the finest games EVER to be played. There are many reasons that I think this way. The brevity of the game is one. It is extremely forceful and contains a ton of sacs. Also, the economy of the game has NEVER been surpassed. (Show me ONE GAME where a modern GM - even in a simul - plays a game and sacrifices his entire army and mates with his last two pieces.) Its also a perfect mate!! It makes a tremendous teaching vehicle, I have taught it to many of my students. (Probably hundreds of times.) It certainly drives home the lessons of development and mobilization of your entire army.
For more info on this game, see my article, (which ran two pages) in the
August/September issue (1999) of Georgia Chess.
(Or visit the Georgia State Chess
Association web site.)
Keep watching these pages for more annotated games! Just so you know, I am (still) furiously annotating games. I hope to have hundreds of annotated games in this site!!
Of course, if you have Blitzin's (The Internet Chess Club's) software, you can "examine" games in all the very extensive collection of libraries. (Type "help libraries" and "help examine" to get complete instructions.) They have many libraries and games that you can examine. (On-line.)
Want to see more annotated games? Then check out the following:
-
My "Downloads" web-site's list of annotated games. (Click here.)
-
Quite a few games to be had on my biggest Angel-Fire site. (Click here.)
-
My "games4" web site has a LOT of interesting games to look at. (Click here.)
-
My "humans-vs.-computers" web site has all the games of the match,
GM V. Kramnik - Deep Fritz, and they are deeply annotated. (Click here.)
All of the games below are DEEPLY
annotated and also contain a great deal of verbiage. (Explanations.) They
also contain a diagram every 5 - 10 moves. This is some of the best work I have ever done and its here, now!! FREE!! For your enjoyment.
(Another chess server charges you a PER GAME fee to view or download annotated games.)
(Posted on: March 15th, 2001. I also have about two dozen more annotated games [at least!] that I am working on for this page. {One very complicated game I have been pecking away at for over a YEAR now!} I will certainly run out of the allowed memory storage space for this web site BEFORE I am able to complete all of them. Each one takes many hours to complete.
For instance, the Lichtenhein
- Morphy game (See the link, below) took approximately 10-20 hours worth of work
(at least that!) in the
ChessBase
program to annotate. (More like 30 - 35 hours of work in ChessBase to annotate the game.)
{First.} Then it took probably another 25-50
hours, [That's FIFTY HOURS!!!]; to complete and put into a presentable form {HTML} for a web page.
Plus de-bugging of the page! And only YOU get to decide if all this work was worth it!!)
{ It actually took me several weeks to get this particular web page ready. (This was one of the very first games I posted, so I was still very much learning as I went.) And now (Aug. 2001) I have just reviewed the game, re-annotated it, corrected several errors, and added a java-script re-play page for this game, to add to your enjoyment. All this represents probably a minimum of 200 hours worth of work. It may actually be more than that, as I have gone back now and looked at this game many, many times. Its also one of the games I teach to ALL my students. }
Some of the very best, annotated chess games on the
Internet are found here!
(See the list - just below.)
Click on the button above to go to my first in-depth
annotated game
page. (At least the first one I completed for my own
web-site!) It contains
my
well-annotated game against J. Perciballi! A new game never printed
anywhere,
here for your enjoyment!!
Click on the button above to go to my second in-depth
annotated game
page. It contains the
great game, Lichtenhein - Morphy; New York,
1857. This game is annotated at a level that far
supersedes what
anyone else has ever done!! No kidding!!
Go there now and check it out!
(Click HERE to see another great Morphy game.)
Click here to go to another game,
(Goldsby-Bassallos; The Southern Chess Congress
[Open]; Gainesville, FL; 1999.); that was published in floridaChess.
Many have written me and told me this was one of the best annotation jobs I have
ever done.
I went back and RE-analyzed this entire game!
Many diagrams! Check it out!! I hope you enjoy it!!
March 18th, 2001. Also finally here? The famous game, Capablanca - Alekhine; 21st World Championship Match game, Buenos Aires, 1921. I analyzed this game for floridaChess this past year. (Summer, 2000.) Two GM's, (plus over a dozen other Masters), have written me and told me that they thought this was one of best jobs of annotating a game they had ever seen!! (Period and "Bar none.") Not only do I find and correct the mistakes that most databases have done to this game, but I completely refute and rebuff many of the incorrect opinions and analysis that have been written about this game over the years.

Note: This page was almost finished when it "blew up," became unstable and unusable, corrupted, and had to be discarded. (Start over from scratch!!) Its still viewable on the Internet, may take quite some time before I am able to finish it and fix all the little errors. (March 20, 2001.)

WARNING: Clicking on this link will take you OUT of this site, OUT of GeoCities/Yahoo, and into the "Angel - Fire" family of web sites. (But you can always return to this page by clicking on the links there or by using the "back" button on your web browser.)
After nearly two years of anticipation, the wait is finally over. You can finally see the game, Morphy-Allies, (The Duke of Brunswick and the Count of Isouard), here on my web site!! I consider this to be one of the best games of chess ever played!! And no, I am not kidding. Check it out!! (Click on the graphic above.)

What
is one of the best games I have ever played? It would easily have
to be my
King's Indian Defence masterpiece that I played against
FIDE Master Stephen Muhammed of
Atlanta, GA.
This is the rather lightly annotated version.
***
Click
HERE
to see this game deeply annotated in the style I am famous for.
This game is NOT
a js-replay board, but a standard html page with about 40 diagrams.
I consider
this game to be definitely one of my best games.

Click HERE
to see the game,
Jose R. Capablanca - Savielly G. Tartakower;
NY, (USA); 1924.
This
is one of the most brilliant games of all time. It is also maybe the finest
rook-and-pawn end-game ever played. I teach it to all my students. It is also one
of the
most DEEPLY annotated games I have ever done.
(NOTE - This game has had phenomenal popularity. I have given permission
for this game to be translated into the following languages: French, Spanish,
German,
Russian, and Chinese.)
Click
HERE
to see the game,
Harry N. Pillsbury - Seigbert Tarrasch; Hastings, 1895.
(GM A. Soltis calls this game, "One of the best of the 19th
Century.)
(This is also one of my very best jobs of annotation.)
Click
HERE
to see the game,
Wilhelm Steinitz - Curt Von Bardeleben; Hastings, 1895.
( GM A. Soltis calls this game, "The Pearl of
Hastings." )
This
is easily one of the "Top Ten" games of the 19th Century.
It is also one of the best games Steinitz ever played!!
Click HERE to see the game,
Akiba Rubinstein - Karel Hromadka;
Mahrisch-Ostrau, 1923.
( Maybe the most brilliant game Rubinstein ever played.
"The Rubinstein
Star." )
This
has got to be one of the greatest games of chess ever played.
(Soltis rates it as being in the "Top 100" of the 20th Century.)
Click
HERE
to see the game,
GM Larry Evans - GM Arthur Bisguier;
U.S. Championships, New York, N.Y. (U.S.A.) 1959.
***
This
is a game that took MONTHS to analyze ...
and almost 2 weeks of work to ready for publication on the Internet.
Check it out!!! One of the prettiest endings to a game as has ever been
seen!
***
This is the last game that I will list on this page.
Check
out my page, "The Best Chess
Games," (Of All-Time) has several new
games that are available to replay
with a java-script board. Just pay attention and
click on the names (of the
players) when the game comes up.
