A strong title is Dmitrij Kollars Replay Lab: German GM and 2600+ Player. It front-loads the player name and the clearest search terms. The H1 can add German U16 Champion and World Cup replay hooks.

Where should Dmitrij Kollars appear in the index?

He should appear under K as Kollars, Dmitrij. The URL should be /dmitrij-kollars.asp. That follows the same player-index pattern as the other famous-player pages.

Does this page include a replay lab?

Yes, the page includes a replay lab from the supplied PGNs. The games are grouped by World Cup and peak-period games, German development, Gibraltar, and long endgames. No replay auto-loads on page load.

Are the PGNs validated?

Yes, the supplied PGNs were parsed with python-chess before embedding. One ambiguous SAN was corrected from Rf1 to Rgf1 in the Kollars–Burns-Mannion game so the legal continuation validates. Diagram FENs and arrows come from validated positions.

What was the SAN correction?

In the Gibraltar 2016 Kollars–Burns-Mannion PGN, move 35 was written as Rf1 although two rooks could move to f1. The legal continuation requires 35.Rgf1 because the e1 rook later moves to e3. The embedded PGN uses the legal disambiguated SAN.

Which diagram is the best first one?

The World Cup diagram is the best first one because it connects to a high-profile FIDE knockout event. The Alberto David diagram is the sharpest attacking example. The Grenke diagram is the best Black-side technical example.

What course link fits Kollars games?

The Complete Guide to Chess Calculation fits this page well. Kollars’ best games require calculation, pawn-race awareness and conversion technique. The course section connects those themes to practical study.
