In the Dutch chess magazine, "Schaakblad Nederland"
were last year ten games published, each month,
making all together a Top 120 of the most beatiful moves.
They were voted by the Dutch competition chess-clubs,
top chessplayers, journalists and other chess "bobo`s"

Today I will post 12 (all monthly best..) of them in a random order.
I would like to hear what you think, which of
those ten moves is the most beautiful one.
I am just curious if the list would be parralel to
the opinion of the Queen Alice players.

Keep in mind though, It is about the moves!
Not about the games "in total"!

Morphy took 12 minutes to decide on 17...Qxf3, an unusually long time for him. Paulsen, a slow player, thought for over an hour before capturing the Queen....

move 17 :-D
