What is the best game played with the english opening?

Hello chess.com,

I am an english player and I want to find the most exciting, brilliant, enjoyable and perhaps tactical game known to man. Are there any games any of you can think of that is deserving of being the most exciting game that is an english opening or transposes to the english opening? I found one which was very exciting and that one involved a rook sac that forces a win, but I want your ideas.

Thanks a lot!

Go to any good database, search for positions beginning with 1.c4 where the white pieces were handled by Larry Christiansen.  Very strong player, and brilliant attacker.  Moved to d4 later in his career, but used to play a lot of English.

Here's a masterpiece from Judit Polgar a few months ago. But, it's from the black side of the English. I must have played through this game a dozen times! Enjoy

If you want tension and drama, look at Games 23 and 24 of the 1987 Kasparov- Karpov match.

Fischer vs. Spassky: One of the few times Fischer didn't play 1.e4

Thanks for the games! I will look at them and see if they are really good. I still wonder if there is one that is spectacular.
