Chess.com brilliancies, blunders, longest games, etc


I think I'll have to say that I don't approve of your idea, Bill... because most of my games on here have been absolutely awful, and I'd rather not have my inbox get filled with emails that say something like: 'Chess.com - Alert - Your game has received a "your game is ugly" comment!'
Just kidding. It would be pretty cool if people could comment on games played here. chessiq's ideas seem interesting too.

No - I didn't/don't think we need another forum for this idea, I just wanted an agreeable place/forum to put it so that everybody knows where it is. Whatever people decide, we would start off the collection/chain there. Thing is, these games will be the ones played here. I guess that is why Billwall suggested that we have a forum/database/whatever for games played here and leave an option for a comment/label.
(My reasoning is that instead of people playing games and then forgetting about them, the ones that are memorable to them can be in a special place with other people's memorable games. Blunders lumped together, miniatures lumped together, brilliancies, etc. It's just an idea. It may not resonate with people.)
At the same time, I see other benefits to Billwall's suggestion in that if all the games are collected in one place, those who want miniatures can limit the number of moves for the games in their search, or sort by opening, etc. I think that might be down the road(?).

Andy,
You are right. I wouldn't want to publish someone's game and say this was ugly. I also wouldn't want to publish a game that someone won on time only after a few moves and dead equal (lots of those games here). I collect short games and traps, make no judgment and annotate where a better move can be made. I believe all the games here are in the public domain and anyone has the right to look at them or even publish them as long as they do not use the player's or someone else's annotations. If that is not the case, then a disclaimer must be made. I've been collecting and downloading lots of pgn games from here.
Hi,
I am sure that we have so far produced some amazing blunders, tactics, brilliancies, etc. I was thinking about starting a "chain" of these. So, let's say, the first chain will be
Brilliancies: under this, anybody can insert their game, with a small comment on what happened, where readers will find the brilliancy (a couple of moves), that determined the outcome of the game, etc. You can insert all the moves, or just a range of moves.
Blunders: here you will insert your blunders. Similar to above. You can say what you should have played, or what you didn't see. And insert your game - a static position, the whole game, or a range of moves that followed from the position.
Tactics: not sure if these are different from the two above especially brilliancies... but you can show the tactics that were hidden, or that transpired during your game...
I need help with several things:
First, where (what forum) should I/anybody start the chain?
Second, how easy will it be to find so that people can add to it? (I am thinking that these will be popular, so they may be easy to find. If not, may be we need a searchable name?)
Third, any ideas on what other chains we can start.
Fourth, I was thinking that these should be games played here at chess.com only. So the names would be something like chess.com brilliancies, chess.com blunders, or our brilliancies, or our blunders... sorry, I am not very creative. Your input will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
