All My Games

"All My Games" is a collection of my English Draughts games played in the period 1996-2013 in all kind of events: World Title Matches, International events, National events, various American States events along with local events and training games. The total number of games in the book is more than 2,300. In addition to the text of games, this book also has "Selected Positions and Diagrams", where anything interesting that happened in a game was captured, diagrammed and shortly commented upon, totaling over 1,300 diagrams. This book also includes some professional analyses of my own games along with other events; approximately 250 games were annotated. However, this book is not only a book about checkers / draughts, but also about myself. You can consider this book partially as a memoir or a report on all the work I've done during the past 30 years. All games are sorted by event and year played, and each year has a "Year Review." "All My Games" also has very strong statistical information about events and games I played along with Opening and Player Indexes. The last book chapter has 16 colorful draughts problems I composed for the fun and enjoyment of the reader. Solutions with comments are part of this chapter. Who is the "ideal" reader of this book ? I think everyone who is familiar with checkerboard numbering and notation and can play through the games will enjoy my book, This book has a unique character. It has ALL my games, including high professional play, short draws ,and horrible blunders by the playesr. Usually in chess and draughts, champions only select and annotate their BEST games--- either wins or losses, but the BEST. My book has all the games I played and reader can see how psychology, nerves and other human factors are involved. In addition, the reader can see all my games in chronological order and can see my progress from average level up to world champion and .... back! Respectfully, Alex Moiseyev
