2017.03.05 Michael J Kummer vs. Jr. Banks, 2017: C00 French defense. This game not only improved my chess skill, but my moral character as well.

"... [annotated games are] infinitely more useful than bare game scores. However, annotated games vary widely in quality. Some are excellent study material. Others are poor. But the most numerous fall into a third category - good-but-wrong-for-you. ... You want games with annotations that answer the questions that baffle you the most. ..." - GM Andrew Soltis (2010)
