Without using google, here's what I guess...
1. Evergreen game. I don't know who played
2.?
3.Correspondance game?
4.Game of the Century/ Fischer vs Byrne
5.?
6. Opera house game? Morphy against some Duke?
7. Dr. No game? Bronstein vs Spassky?
8. and 9. I don't know
5 immortal game, Andersson-Kieseritsky?
2 Max Euwe vs Alekhine, Pearl of Zandtvoort
Trysts and Rooperi - good job. V. is not the Immortal Game though, and VII. is not from Dr. No. Gioconda Piano - sounds like a good idea for an Italian Game variation.
III Berliner-Estrin?
VII Game From Russia with Love..Kronstein v. ?
III Berliner-Estrin?
Correct!
VII Game From Russia with Love..Kronstein v. ?
RIght! McAdams was the fictional opponent.
IX. Samisch vs Nimzowitsch "The Immortal Zugswang Game" ?
IX. Samisch vs Nimzowitsch "The Immortal Zugswang Game" ?
Credit must be give for the "Immortal"! But is not the Zugzwang variety, just plain old "Immortal Game."
V is the Mona Lisa of chess Bagirov - Gufeld
