The most common types of chess game collections are collected games of a single player (e.g. ''My Best Games of Chess 1908-1937'' by Alexander Alekhine), annotations of games from a single tournament, collections of chess games covering a certain period of time (e.g. ''Oxford Encyclopaedia of Chess Games. Vol.1 1485-1866'' by Levy and O'Connell), opening move collections, or collections centered on tactical or strategic themes (e.g. games featuring brilliant defense, attacking play, endgame technique, and so on). '' Chess Informant'' is a series which collects chess games annotated by top players and publishes them in a language independent format. Chess game collections can be categorized by: 1. OTB (Over the board) 2. Correspondence 3. Online played games 4. Engines vs engine 5. Engine vs human 6. Puzzles 7. mid games 8. endgames
