Help me end my desperate nerd search for annotated chess games?

Question

I'm looking for large collections of annotated chess games. i can't find any thing with the usual searchengine

ideally a list of just annotated moves that i could print off and study without any risky downloads. if you can help, thanks.

Answer 1

Answer 2

Get the book "Logical Chess, Move By Move". by Irving Chernev.

Contains complete move by move annotations and analysis of over 30 grandmaster level games.

Chernev's book contains some older games.

John Nunn has a "modern" version of the same type of book, called "Understanding Chess Move By Move"... again, it explains virtually every move of 30 grandmaster level games.

"chessgames.com" does have some annotated games (over 2,000 of them), but most only have a handful of comments...it's probably not what you're looking for, but if you go there and do a search of all games and check the "annotated" box, you'll get a list of the annotated games...but again, i just took a look about 10 of the games, and most only have a couple of comments in them... really not a lot to go on.

I'm not really sure how much is available online for free as far as annotated games, most sites that do that will give you a couple of sample games, but then you have to subscribe to the site to get the full collection of annotated games.   If you get Nunn's and Chernev's books, you can't go wrong.

Chessmaster 10th edition can create annotations for any game that you input.... you might want to consider going that route.   Those annotations are good...they don't always give you as many lines of play as something like Fritz, but it will explain it's analysis in English, rather than just giving you a list of alternative lines of play.

Answer 3

http://www.chessgames.com/ try this. It has games and you look up individual people and what openings they played.

Answer 4

Easy one:

http://www.chessgameslinks.lars-balzer.i...

It does have an annotated games section, but most are not. But the sheer size of the material, basically free unless you want it all mailed to you on a disk, is pretty big.
