Greatest Chessgame?

Well there was no brilliant moves but the game was brilliant, and your right, but they almost made the whole list of best games only this one was left ;-)

Steinitz vs Von Bardeleben, 1895

for the inedible breakfast on the 7th

Alekhine vs Reti, 1922

I'd like to second Capablanca-Marshall 1918.  One of the great defencive displays in chess history.

I love Morphy vs Duke Karl / Count Isouard, 1858

How do you judge art? It´s hard, if not impossible to pick a single game as a favourite. Every great game has its own unique personality, its own temperament. So which game i value over all depends alot on my mood.

That said, Botvinnik vs Capablanca 1938 is a gem. How can this combination not evoke admiration in the chessplayers heart;

I think Kasparov vs Topalov was one of the greatest games in modern history when Kasparov sacraficed a rook

this was a good game (its tough to learn for it, but lever ideas from Anderssen)
