Alphabet Chess

This will either be very short lived or take off quite nicely.

The object is to name a chessplayer with the last name of the next letter and include one of his nice games.

If this takes off, we can go through the entire alphabet multiple times without overlapping.

A is for Alekhine

Here is perhaps a lesser known gem

B is for Bronstein!

One of my all-time favorite games. Bronstein was a pioneer in the King's Indian, and his exchange sac on a1 causes a chain reaction that spreads all over the board.

Excellent idea!

c is for Colle

Donner J.H.

Euwe

Fischer

Alexander Grischuk

Mark Hebden

I is for Alexander Ilyn-Znefevsky!

I tried to find a Dutch, of course, but I found this Closed Sicilian gem where he beats Capablanca in 1925- that's a lifetime achievement award!

J is for Janowski

Whoever goes next is spoiled for choice!

K is for Kengis! (Sorry, I couldn't resist)

This is a game of his in Alekhine's defense, and it has become an anthology piece in books on the opening. It is rare for a modern GM to have a variation named after him, but Edvins Kengis made it happen with his innovations and strong play.

Presenting GM Kengis playing the Kengis Variation of Alekhine's Defense:
