This anthology presents the 45 most exciting of the hundreds of chess games as nominated in the column ‘Just Checking’ in New In Chess magazine. The games were chosen by chess greats such as Vishy Anand, Nigel Short and Vasyl Ivanchuk, all answering the question: What was the most exciting chess game you have ever seen? 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.
