Just various chess games I found interesting. Ideally, I find a PGN and paste it into the lichess analysis board.
| YEAR_MM_DD | Light Player | Dark Player | Result | Link | Thoughts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1834 | McDonnell | De La Bourdonnais | 0-1 | W YT | An amazing push of three pawns all the way to the 8th rank. |
| 1847 | Paul Morphy | Alonzo Morphy | 1-0 | YT L | An 8-year-old Paul Morphy beats his father in a very solid game. |
| 1850-05 | Paul Morphy | Johann Lowenthal | 1-0 | YT | Morphy, 13, wins his first game against a master. |
| 1850-05 | Paul Morphy | Johann Lowenthal | 1-0 | YT L | Proof of a prodigy. Morphy plays the Grand Prix attack against the Sicilian. |
| 1851 | Adolf Anderssen | Lionel Kieseritzky | 1-0 | C | In "The Immortal Game" Adolf Anderssen never takes a piece, but sacrifices nearly all his own to get checkmate. |
| 1852 | Adolf Anderssen | Jean Dufresne | 1-0 | YT C | "The Evergreen Game" was played between Adolf Anderssen and his student, and is wall-to-wall exciting checkmate ideas. |
| 1857-10-06 | Paul Morphy | James Thompson | 1-0 | C YT CG PGN | First Morphy game of the tournament. Thompson played an iffy opening, and Morphy realized the power of a couple of extra pawns. |
| 1858 | Paul Morphy | Duke Karl / Count Isouard | 1-0 | C CG PGN | The most famous (and over-rated) game of chess ever. |

| 1956 | Donald Byrne | Bobby Fischer | 0-1 | YT W | The "American" Game of the Century. A sign of things to come for Bobby Fischer. To his credit, Byrne was clever enough to not take any of Bobby's poison pills. |

| 2022-08-01 | Knarik Mouradian | Pia Cramling | 0-1 | C YT | GM defeats and IM in 9 moves with encyclopedic knowledge of the Closed Sicilian versus one inaccuracy. |
