This anthology presents the 45 most exciting of the hundreds of chess games as nominated in the column 'Just Checking' in New In Chess magazine. The games were chosen by chess greats such as Anand, Shirov, Short, and Ivanchuk and chess aficionados such as Jeremy Silman, Jennifer Shahade, and Tania Sachdev, all answering the question: What was the most exciting chess game you have ever seen? Every game is a showcase of the richness of chess. As the editor writes: "I hope that every reader will find games here which bring a smile to their face and a lift to their heart".
