Game selections

The game selections provided here are organized into modules designed to facilitate the study of master games.

They cover all the great chess masters from the early 1800s up until the elite chess players of 2021, including Alekhine, Anand, Botvinnik, Capablanca, Carlsen, Caruana, Fischer, Karpov, Kasparov, Korchnoi, Kramnik, Morphy, Smyslov, Rubinstein, Tal and many others.

Each module contains a small number of games won by a particular master during a particular time period and can be reviewed in a few days. Clicking the link of a module will automatically open it at Lichess.com, where you can review the games. (You may need to have a user account at Lichess.com, which is free and easy to create.)

You'll find the modules here:

1. The TOP 100 list, which lists the 100 highest-ranking modules in order of estimated quality, EQ.

2. BY PLAYER - where you'll find a list of all modules so far available for each player (ordered by EQ underneath each player).

3. BY YEAR - where you'll find a list of the 5 highest-ranking modules available for each year, in order of EQ.

4. BY DECADE - where you'll find a list of the 20 highest-ranking modules available for each decade, in order of EQ.
