In 2008, in celebration of the 100th issue of Chess Informant, our company published The Best of the Best – 1000. We had great faith in the 560 pages of content as a rich and entertaining selection of the most important and attractive games published in those first 100 volumes, annotated in depth (mostly by the players themselves), and selected by a jury of highly-esteemed personalities in the chess world. Thus, The Best of the Best – 1000 stands as a unique tribute to excellence in chess.
The Best of the Best – 1001-1100 comprises the one hundred best games of volumes 101-110, spanning the years 2007 to 2011. These games have been methodically selected and strictly evaluated by members of the Chess Informant jury. The games include spectacular victories by World Champion V.Anand, former World Champions V.Kramnik and V.Topalov, the strongest ever female chess player J.Polgar, as well as other top players such as V.Ivanchuk, A.Volokitin, V.Akopian, L.Dominguez, R.Ponomariov, A.Shirov and others.
