Which of the thousands of recorded games is your favorite? And why?
My favorite game is the legendary 10th game in the Kasparov-Anand match, when Anand was leading 5-4, and Kasparov completely dismantled his Open Spanish Defense.
I like it so much because there is a little bit of everything - spectacular sacrifices, attacking the King, subtle maneuvers in preparation for the endgame afterwards, etc. Especially the fact that by sacrificing all those pieces, all Kasparov gets in terms of an advantage afterwards is a pawn (and obviously a good position).
