Collection of the awarded games in chess tournaments and matches from 1876 till 1995.
The idea of beauty in chess is closely connected with our understanding of chess as a wide sphere of human culture and art. Not only for brilliant strokes or bright combinational ideas we are impressed by formidable games played by outstanding masters: depth of logic in positional play, refined technique of exploiting an advantage, lelgant implementation of strategical ideas are no less attractive. A point of a chess combination attracts both an ordinary amateur and an experienced profy. The eventual possibility of sacrificial combinations is what makes ches so impressive. The major part of these 1640 games are annotated by ourselves.
Garry Kasparov: «This book will undoubtedly find a special place among fundamental works on chess esthetics and beauty. It contains a great amount of awarded games – plenty of material for studies in all aspects of chess.
The principle of the selection is very democratic – together with grandmaster games, there are many nice examples of play originating from games by amateurs.
The enormous effort in systematization and analysis of games made by the authors deserves all respect and gratitude».

I was rather surprised when someone told me *I* had a game in there! I'd totally forgotten the game!
