If someone else doesn't post a game soon, I'll be forced to post another of my games.  That threat worked last time.  wink.png

Even worse, I could post one of mine.

Well, before we have to resort to posting our own games, how about posting one of your favorite famous games?  I've been posting quite a few lately.

How about The Immortal Zugzwang?

And why not The Other Immortal Zugzwang?  Take that, Nimzowitsch!

By the way, you'll find my response quickly if you check back today or tomorrow.  If you wait a few months, it might take some time to find it.  wink.png

I just amended my opening post to add the above instructions, re: posting a game.  Since that question is sure to come up again, it makes sense to include instructions in the opening post.  Hell, I started this thread without knowing how to do it!  Fortunately, a couple of visitors taught me here.

Recently have started to like some of Tal's games, for example

Post it here if you want.

That was weird.  I was at my other thread, Greatest chess master in history.  Someone nominated Tal and I responded by posting one of Tal's games - thinking I was here.  Well, since I am here now and TwoMove mentioned Tal's games, I'll post a different one here.  If you want to see the other Tal game, you'll find it at Greatest chess master in history.

Just post a game in the room if you want.  I don't click on a link if I don't even know what it's about.

FBloggs

Get with the program, guys!  If you don't know how to post a game, my opening post gives clear instructions.  People are more likely to check the game out if you post it here instead of posting a link to it.

See the post above your post.

I wonder if anyone looked at the La Bourdonnais-McDonnell game above. Hope I'm not posting games for my health.  meh.png

Well, the thread hit 200 posts but I doubt it will hit 300 unless others participate by posting some of their favorite games - or at least commenting on some that I've posted.

Who says draws are boring? Here's a modern masterpiece.
