Thanks. I'll check them over.
Just recently played through this one and yes it is amazing.
Schmid - Gligoric, EU Team Ch (Men) 1965.
The most amazing part of it is Black's 28th move wins by force, and all of the more natural moves, like the various ways to capture on f2, lose for Black!
If you play the King's Indian with either color, it's a game that must be looked at!
One of my favourite past times is playing through the old classic games by the grand masters.
"Once-in-a-lifetime" games by completely unknown players can be great, too:
My favorite GM game: https://www.chess.com/blog/seanysean2/how-i-beat-a-gm-in-under-10-moves
The Gufeld vs. Kavalek game (see above) is pleasing in so many ways. At the end of the game Kavalek has absolutely no pieces left but all eight of his pawns. I just love the way his black squared bishop just bosses everything and how he sacrifices piece after piece to maintain its commanding position until that too is considered surplus to requirements and let go as well.
Kasparov vs Shirov. Kas make a daring positional sacrifice, http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1070699
I'm sure many have seen it..

Topalov vs Aronian 2006. Topalov did the positional exchange sacrifice TWICE!
Topalov vs Ivanchuk, 1999. Chucky makes a World Chess Champion look like a 1600 player.

One of my favourite past times is playing through the old classic games by the grand masters. Some awsome creative play amongst those. I was wondering if you have any favourites from them?
One of mine is the Fischer 'game of the century' which he played in '56 when he was only 13. A stupendous queen sacrifice totally opens the game up for him.
Me and my neighbour have played several dozen games that are genuine CLASSICS from the past. Obviously not every game can be a classic - but sometimes it happens.
Another fave is Anand's win in 23 moves from 2013 I think. Carlsen called it the game of our times. I can't remember the opponent - I'd have to look it up.
