As everyone is aware, there are many players on here who are very skilled, and who have played some games from which patzers such as myself, and millions of other amateurs seeking to strengthen their game, could learn. I have a question and a suggestion. What, from a chess perspective, do everyone consider to be their best games? I would suggest looking hard, for there are probably several hundred very high-quality games lurking among the quarter-million or so here. Maybe an annotated anthology would be a good source of funds for RHP (although I imagine a fair bit of work).

That is a tough question! There are many games that I will remember for a long time, some of them I lost, but that's not the point.
I pick one with Islanddoc, who regretfully has left the site. We had planned to analyse it together, but it didn't happen in the end. It is a Najdorf Sicilian, and we continuously exchanged our point of view and our sources during the game. I must have spent a hundred hours on this game, it was full of tactics (given the opening theory and top-level master games available). Here is the game n° : 86326

I always wanted to put together an RHP database from games. I would be willing to put in 3-4 of my games and annotate them with my ideas! Let's start it here! 😀

Sintubin, that is not so much a chess game as a piece of art wherein both players put aesthetic considerations above all else and played a beautiful game. I'm rather amazed, actually.

Tony, I like this idea. I could maybe put a few of mine in the 'Duffers' section 😉.

Go for it guys - I'm going to write a far improved game history page when I get the time, so I can add a new section to the site for this.

It should include also run of the mill games that have a story behind it.
I have one against DavidG.
