The Ten Best Games of Chess Ever Played?

Of all the chess games on record, which are elevated to be in the "Ten Best" category, in your opinion? And why?; (if you care to elaborate).

oh God...

I don't think I have any of His games in my database - strong player, though?

Yeah, but Steinitz beat him in a match (I heard some of them were forfeits though).

God wasn't that good after all ....

#1 Capablanca-Morphy

#2 Fischer-Karpov (game 6, first match)

Sorry - but they never played.

Yes, but Andy does okay for a guy whose head is filled with excelsior.

hmm it looked like there is a few thing you need know about andyclifton..... 

edit: as goldendog pointed out one of them.  

Thanks kco. I just told him .

we must have typed at the same time ! 

Nakamura the bully with 271 moves

I too am sorry about that, A J... 

Yeah, that's true.

One thing I found rather interesting recently was going through Chernev's Most Instructive Games and finding huge praise heaped on Bogoljubov-Reti Mahrisch-Ostrau 1923, which I thought was a pretty pedestrian affair actually.

"Bogoljubov-Reti Mahrisch-Ostrau 1923, which I thought was a pretty pedestrian affair"

I never knew they even had an affair.  Who was the pedesrian?

(As I said, she was a pretty pedestrian.) 

Andy, she looks young for someone from 1923? And where are the handsome male pedestrians?

Okay, no doubt about it...I'm gonna have to work a little harder on my hoaxes next time.
