I think that it was done but I can't find the information. If we put all the GM' games of history in a good engine, what is the game that the computer will " think was the best, the most flawless?

Thank you for the Kasparov reference, pfren. I would imagine Kasparov would be highly represented on a list of best games, it would be wise if I want to improve to study his games.

Thank you.I, also, love the most beatiful ones.But These are easier to find.

Yes.In my opinion Topalov deserved being also the world champion...

What, nobody's mentioned Botvinnik-Capablanca AVRO, 1938?  

Yes, I too prefer Kasparov-Topalov, but Botvinnik-Capablanca is still one of the 5-10 greatest games, even now. Take a look at Stein-Petrosian for a similar sac of the a-pawn for positional considerations. Here's the Botvinnik game, without annotations.

My first question was about a the most flawless, no blunder, not the most beatiful.Kasparovy- Topalov is the best, in my opinion, still

Reti vs Bogolyubov, New York 1924 is one of my favorites:

One of the games I like particularly was a battle between Walter Browne and Vasily Smyslov from the eighties. Smyslov reminds us that the king can also be a valuable piece in the middlegame and not only a victim of attack. He decides it's a good day for a stroll in the woods in a queenless encounterLaughing. I'm rather partial to this game for the sheer logic and clinging on to the metaphore of wood, sticking to one's principles. It must have been a guilty pleasure for Smyslov to score with one of his pet lines. Well, anyway here it is... enjoy!
