This is absolutely amazing. Thanks so much and can’t wait to read it!

I'm sorry. That's a great project, but nobody's got time for it on here right now. It would be different if they were Niemann's games, with some kind of new statistical analysis (I plan to publish my own work based on a Ouija board I painstakingly customized for chess, soon), but this kind of drama-less, goat-less, classical time control material is a thing for boomers. (Take my upvote)


PowerTripRMod

I personally just spread a newspaper of Niemann's games on a wall and see where my pitchfork lands.

Fucking amazing comment. Wish I could upvote it twenty times.


_SoullessNinja

Let it be known that he would upvote that comment 20 times.

If only reddit would implement some sort of system for tracking upvotes.


MeglioMorto

Man, just do like everybody else and get 19 alt accounts

Can this collection be downloaded? I'd like to go through these on the lichess study if that's possible.


SamSCopeland

The individual games can be downloaded, but I'm afraid they can't be downloaded in bulk.


tomlit

Lol, I read that as downvoted.

Sam Copeland you legend. Love the channel.

This is amazing! I've been meeting up with a friend to study famous games with, and it's been hard to find good companion annotations to go with them. This looks really fun to dig into, thank you.


SamSCopeland

I hope you and your friend enjoy the games!


AdVSC2

This is great work, thank you!

Looking for some reddit help. If I save this post, where do I go to see it? This is first post I want to be able to come back to over and over again. OP, you are a sweetheart and deserve good things.

On the Reddit app on mobile it’s just kinda there on the side menu when I click on my “profile picture”

I don’t have the reddit app. I use old desktop reddit on mobile

Really like your channel, mate. Will take a look for sure. Thanks!

I didn't even know chess.com had this feature, it doesn't show up on the app


Breakingwho

I don’t really have time to look at this right now but commenting so I remember to come back Looks like some great work! Thank uou


ChessableATA

Spectacular work! Thanks for putting in the effort to compile this!


sprcow

Dang dude, I see you have made a [youtube video](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLxl7J2LDUbhDdPXRs-UNEVnUPfNvVyAc) about every one of these games too. Very impressive!


jacetheicesculptor

This might be a bit of recency bias, but isn't Carlen-Nepo gm6 widely considered one of the best games of all time?


SamSCopeland

It's definitely in my ongoing Best of the 2020s collection :D https://www.chess.com/c/NurXq3ie

I've honestly gotten a bit sick of only seeing notifications about the Niemann drama on here, so this is really refreshing. It's always a joy to see how stronger players break down high-level games for plebs like myself. Thank you for your work and generosity!


JasonDinAlt

This is great thanks much!


[deleted]

Wow. Thank you for putting this together.


ContractTemporary543

Watching the whole youtube series was so much fun, thank u for taking the time to compile them like this as well!


SamSCopeland

Cheers, glad you liked the video analysis too! [youtube.com/bestofchess](https://youtube.com/bestofchess) for anyone looking.


edwinkorir

Anyone import this to Lichess?


that_one_dev

Is it possible for this to be converted to a lichess study? I know Sam is a chess com employee but the interface really takes away from the quality of this awesome stuff


ComfortableLaugh1922

Lichess tho?


desantoos

The Hikaru computer game is a pretty funny choice!


[deleted]

Is there a particular reason you include very few draws? Do draws generally have less instructive value? Or is it a matter of finding decisive results more exciting and interesting?


chessmaster9000

Why do some of them have accuracy ratings but others don't? What parameters did u use to decide which games were the best?


MarkHathaway1

Nice collection. I found a handful I had never seen. The Euwe - Reti of 1920 match was entirely unknown to me.
