THE MOST EXCITING CHESS GAMES EVER - STEVE GIDD...

Twenty years ago  New In Chess magazine started its own Proust Questionnaire  entitled Just
Checking. In this back page column  chess players and personalities named their favourites 
preferences  moods  life mottos and whatnot. One of the questions has always been: What was the
most exciting chess game you ever saw?  Chess greats such as Anand  Shirov and Ivanchuk (and
probably any other top player you can think of)  authors and commentators such as Jeremy Silman
Jennifer Shahade  and Tania Sachdev nominated memorable games. This anthology presents the 45
most exciting of these most exciting games.  Besides inevitable ?usual suspects' like
Kasparov-Topalov (Wijk aan Zee 1999) or the ?Immortal' Anderssen-Kieseritzky (London 1851) 
you'll be treated to a wide variety of lesser-known gems. You'll see Ding Liren revelling in an
all-out attack  Ivan Saric juggling a knight and five pawns versus two rooks  and Sergei
Radchenko chasing the white king all over the board.  Every game is a showcase of the richness
and resourcefulness of chess.  Steve Giddins edited this selection  a job he immensely enjoyed:
?I hope that every reader will find games here which bring a smile to their face and a lift to
their heart'.
