I particularly liked the third game, especially as black seemed behind for the most part
Games like that encourage me to fight on in scenarios where I too have a material deficit 😀
As greenpawn pointed out - these games remind of young Tal & Kasparov making their opponents to solve complicated problems over the board, when they are unable to use engine assistance.

Richard Rapport - Me neither, I thought it a joke something along the lines
of rapport = repertoire. Or is it an anagram?
Richard Rapport who plays the 'crap horrid trap.' [anag]
I've no idea what the 'crap horrid trap' is but it sounds like something I should be playing.
Of course these days I hardly keep up with what's happening now.
My nose ...[text shortened]... ist Houdini, who I thought passed away years ago, he's good.

P.S. I think he must have forgetten the rule to trade pieces when ahead. I would try hard to trade off those rooks.
RJ there was a 😉 it was a joke.
Thanks Pacifique for Robert Rapport. Got an email today asking me for
piece for a magazine with a 48 hour deadline.
Used a Rapport game as a stand by (all noted up - it's brilliant chess. A joy to do.)
Tonight meeting up with a few strong players, if I can get a recent Scottish game,
which I prefer doing then, I'll use that and Blog the Rapport game.

Originally posted by greenpawn34Okay, this one is okay as a joke. Just leave the chess computer jokes out. They rub me the wrong way. Friends forever, right? 😏
Good. January the 29th will forever be known as RHP crack a joke day.
A chess player goes to a doctor and says:
"I think I am turning into a chess piece."
The Doctor replies:
"Don't move until I have checked you over."
