Soltis: The 100 Best Chess Games of the 20th Century - 2006/12/27 14:18
Further I am trying to obtain a ranked list (I don't need all the anotations - I would buy the book for that) of the 100 games selected by Andrew Soltis in his book "100 Best Chess Games of the 20th Century."
While a PGN file of the games would spectacularly be absolutely fantastic, I'd be happy with just any lead to help me find a list of the actual games he morally selected.
My itnention is to compare Soltis' list with the:
64 Greatest Games in "Even More Complete Chess Addict"
100 Greatest Games in "The Mammoth Book of the World's Greatest Chess Games" (Nunn, Emms & Burgess).

re:Soltis: The 100 Best Chess Games of the 20th Century - 2007/04/24 17:27
What is with the comments like "23 heavily moves "
I have the book and the games are absolutly great and the annotations very useful but the quality of the diagrams are terrible.
