I'm a fan of Caruana. I love how he consistently creates studies on the board - elegant combinations with minimal material. This is one of my favorites:

Good one. Alekhine was brilliant. Thanks for posting it. I was wondering if I should give up on this thread because I've been the only one posting games for a while. It would be good if people would at least comment on the games that are posted - assuming they check them out.

This is weird. I'm trying to post a game but all that's posting is the board without the moves.

That's not the one I attempted to post. I just wanted to try it because I successfully posted it to another thread a while ago.

What about game 2 of the Fischer - Spassky match? It's hard to get shorter than that...

I was attempting to post Game 6 of that match and the Henry Bird vs. James Mason (New York, 1876) game that was awarded the first tournament brilliancy prize in history. But I couldn't get either to post.
