My Most Memorable Games (Progress in Chess)

My Most Memorable Games (Progress in Chess) - Boris Gelfand In case you didn't know, since mainstream news coverage has been less than overwhelming: Boris Gelfand (Israel) and Vishy Anand (India) are currently playing in the final of the World Chess Championship, for a total prize fund of about 2.5 million dollars.
