Anyone know of GM games where a player lost a queen and still won the game? I'm not referring to games where the queen was sacrificed for tactical reasons, I mean matches where the queen was legitimately lost.
Maybe a queen was too much to ask for. How about a game where any piece was lost but the player still won? Obviously, I don't mean a game where a piece was lost, but it didn't matter because mate was inevitable.
But the Nez game was a deliberate Queen sac, he meant it. At master
level if a player loses a Queen due to an error the game is resigned.
A few games here where a Queen was lost by careless play have been turned around.
In this one Black loses their Queen, a mere six moves late they are taking White's Queen.
Has anyone looked at blacks moves?
I'm sure he could have played better and won by his material advantage.
I'm not good enough to find better moves for black but I doubt white had the win when he gave up his queen.
Don't have one and don't know of any.
The last time I played a computer that could analyze a game was over 20 years ago with the chessmaster game for PlayStation 2.
The game is one of the classics. Tal chose it as his favourite non-Tal game.
Engines have gone over it and come to different conclusions as engines have got
better and better. Sometimes they are left on 24 hours looking for a defence.
Poor old Chernikov had to dig out a defence OTB with clock ticking
at time control 40 moves in 2 hours. Most of the comments are of praise.

Do any such games exist?
By the time the GM title was invented that was basically impossible. There might be a master game from the 18th or 19th century.
