Just because this is my thread doesn't mean I have to do all the heavy lifting.

Yeah I am phone only so you may choose to post or not post the game as you see fit, but I cannot do so.

Oh I get it.  I interpreted "on the phone" as "talking on the phone."  No problem then, my friend.  I'll take a look.

Any collection of famous games must include the Opera House Game.

And of course The Immortal Game.

As well as The Evergreen Game.  You had to see this coming.

How good was Morphy?  In 1958 he beat Anderssen +7-2=2 in an official match and +5-1=0 in casual play.  That must have surprised Kieseritzky and Dufresne.

Good one!  Finally someone else posts a game.  I've been doing all the heavy lifting lately.  Feel free to post other favorites when the mood strikes.

That's a good one.  I mentioned somewhere above that a game doesn't necessarily have to be famous if it's brilliant.  Do you have the names of the players?  If so, how about editing your previous post by adding their names?

Done.

Excellent.  At first I thought you meant that you were done with the thread.  That would be awful 'cause you're the only one 'sides the OP posting games nowadays.  meh.png

This is one of my favorite Fischer games.  It was played in 1970, which was an incredible year for Fischer.  He beat Petrosian 3-1 in USSR vs. Rest of the World; won the unofficial World Championship of Lightning Chess by 4-1/2 points; won Rovinj/Zagreb by 2 points; won Buenos Aries by 3-1/2 points; won an individual silver at the 19th Chess Olympiad in Siegen (scoring +8-1=4) and won the Palma de Mallorca Interzonal by 3-1/2 points.

Fischer vs Myagmarsuren, Sousse 1967 is another good one. Like Fischer-Panno, it's also a King's Indian Attack.

I recall that you've posted that game several times, but still...it never ceases to amaze me.

I'll post a favourite of mine: the immortal draw.
