Collections
| Award | So far | Most in a round |
|---|---|---|
| UnderpromotionEvery promotion to a knight, bishop or rook this round. | 21 | 4 in rounds 5 and 7 |
| En PassantEvery en passant capture of the round. | 284 | 37 in round 9 |
| Never Play f6Ben Finegold says never push the f-pawn one square. These players did it by move 10 (f3 or …f6) and won anyway. | 144 | 17 in round 1 |
| Mate GalleryCheckmates with a name: back-rank, smothered, Anastasia’s, Arabian, hook, dovetail, Boden’s, double-bishop, double check, pawn, promotion, king move or castling. | 19 | 4 in round 11 |
| Family ForkA knight gave check and attacked the queen at the same time, from a square where it could not simply be taken. The ones that won the queen come first. | 69 | 10 in round 7 |
| Holy HellEn passant was on the board and the player left it alone. En passant is forced, allegedly. | 260 | 37 in round 6 |
| ShahrukhCastled with check. Timur is said to have named his son Shah Rukh after the king-and-rook move he had just played when the news of the birth arrived. | 6 | 2 in round 3 |
| Il VaticanoTwo bishops on one rank, three files apart, with two enemy pawns between them: the r/AnarchyChess cathedral. The first time for each player is listed. | 3 | 1 in rounds 1, 7 and 8 |
| Poisoned PawnThe queen grabbed the b-pawn (Qxb7 or …Qxb2) by move 15. Fischer’s favourite snack; the result tells whether it was poisoned. | 62 | 13 in round 2 |
| Greek GiftThe classic bishop sacrifice on h7 (or …h2): the bishop took the pawn with check. | 52 | 8 in round 7 |
| Pawn CubeFour pawns on a 2×2 block, the r/AnarchyChess cube. The first time for each player is listed. | 3 | 1 in rounds 1, 4 and 6 |
| Pawn DiamondFour pawns around an empty square: one below, two beside, one above. The first time for each player is listed. | 13 | 4 in round 5 |
| Connect FourFour or more pawns side by side on one rank beyond their starting rank. The first row of each player is listed, the longest first. | 116 | 15 in round 8 |
