I read somewhere that in 1989, the BCM (The British Chess Magazine) took a
poll of their readers, asking what the best chess games ever played were. Are the results of this poll available on the web somewhere? (I've searched but only been able to find their top five.) I realize that there are books with such collections available, but these are generally selected by individuals (the one by Soltis, and the one by Burgess/Nunn/Emms come to mind). Have similar polls been conducted among chess players/fans, and are the results available online? -- Gregory Topov --------------------------------------------------------------------- "I don't necessarily agree with everything I say." - Marshall McLuhan |

Hi Gregory, Check out this link: http://www.geocities.com/lifemasteraj/best_games.html under the surveys section, you will find the BCM stuff. While you are on the site, check out the best games section, especially game 10 between Ivanchuk and Yusupov, Belgium 1991 (Candidates match) it is a fantastic game, with some extensive analysis. All the best Simon |

Actually this is exactly the page where I had read about the poll, and where I had found the top five! I was actually curious about #6 and onwards in the BCM survey, as well as #11 and onwards in some of the other surveys mentioned there. -- Gregory Topov --------------------------------------------------------------------- "I don't necessarily agree with everything I say." - Marshall McLuhan |
