There is an interesting ChessBase interview with Nona Gaprindashvili (see original here) at the recently completed Senior Championship. In it she discusses or alludes to several of her most memorable games, all slugfests:
I am sure you can find many more "epic battles of the chessboard" if you play through her games. Worth a look.
- Velimirovic - Gaprindashvili, Bela Crkva 1984 (unbelievable)
- Gaprindashvili - Peters, Lone Pine 1977 (last round, both needed a win)
- Gaprindashvili - Lein, Lone Pine 1977 (the tournament where she became a GM)
- Gaprindashvili - Shamkovich, Lone Pine 1977
- Gaprindashvili - Kapengut, Reggio Emilia 1991 (cannot confirm date)
- Ceschia - Gaprindashvili, Reggio Emilia 1982-1983 (see crosstable)
I am sure you can find many more "epic battles of the chessboard" if you play through her games. Worth a look.
