What is the most Famous chess game in history?

I just wanted to know what the most famous chess game in history is.

"... how many chess games can you replay (till the end) ..." - VimalKumarK

"I couldn't replay any although I could recognise quite a lot." - CM JamesColeman

"Good point. I could have replayed that one. Also Reti-Tartakower where White sacrifices his Q on d8 and then forces mate with a double check. So maybe 2. Both of those are rather short though." - CM JamesColeman

"Oh yeah, that one. Maybe 3 then " - CM JamesColeman

"There are many many must-know games for general ideas and themes but not sure of the practical value of having all of them memorised move by move all the way through to resignation?" - CM JamesColeman

"I don't think you have to have them memorized. Just playing them over, even fairly quickly will help put the patterns and ideas into your head." - Morphysrevenges

"Yes, agree with you entirely Morphysrevenges, but the OP was asking about memorised games that you can replay out at will. For me at least, that's not many." - CM JamesColeman

Dubbed “The Game of the Century,” this game was won by the future world champion Robert James Fischer (13) in 1956

There was something in the mid-19th century known as the "Immortal Game"; without Googling, my best recollection as to the parties:  "Anderssen" and "Kieserritsky".  Hope I got at least one of them right.  The game itself was won by a spectacular queen move, exposing it to capture by an opposing pawn.

Further examination confirms my last comment.  On June 21, 1851, Adolf Anderssen faced off against...

(get a load of this)...

Lionel Adalbert Bagration Felix Kieseritzky!  It's like Prince Bagration from "War and Peace", but with toy trains and cats too!  There's a whole Wikipedia page "Immortal Game".

Other famous games:  There is something called the "Evergreen Party" (Anderssen again, IIRC) but I don't know anything else about it. 

Morphy's Opera Game is very famous. Also games 1 and 6 of the Spassky-Fischer match in 1972. I might also include the 1918 Capablanca-Marshall game where Marshall played an innovation in the Ruy Lopez he had been preparing for years (the Marshall Attack) and Capa won nevertheless.

Zukem7 v Zyhkylie - that game had everything.

I have encountered the claim that there is something inaccurate about this traditional story, but I do not remember the details. Edward Winter probably has something about it.

Yes, that second game is very well known. In fact, it's one of only two GM games that I have memorized from beginning to end. The other is Fischer's crushing victory over Panno at the Palma Interzonal in 1970.

I mistakenly read your comment as referring to all of the first six games. Apologies to both of you.

Morphy's Opera game for me too. Because it really shows how important it is to get all pieces involved in the game. 

Ahhh, you've linked to Fischer-Panno at Buenos Aires 1970. I was referring to their game at Palma in the same year: http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1335872

We've talked it over and decided that no apology is needed. The little guy did need a bit of convincing, though. He finally came around when I gave him a chew stick.

This one was pretty famous in its day:

This game was dubbed Petroff's Immortal.

RedGirlZ, OP asked about "most famous chess game in history", and among the Kasparov games, surely there can be none more famous than the time he faced a large committee of basically any player in the world who wanted to participate and had the technology to do so.  I've told the story before on these forums about how the chess columnist for a N SF Bay Area paper queried five prominent local chess opinionators (not necessarily the five local strongest players) before the game to get our predictions and reasoning on the public record, and all five of us correctly called it, and I was quoted in his column "CHESS DOESN'T LEND ITSELF TO DEMOCRACY VERY WELL!"

The "Evergreen Game" has a wiki, my recollection of Anderssen was correct, looked at it, White wins after sacrificing a flurry of pieces including Queen, very pretty.   

Morphy's opera game.  But there are many very nice games.  

RedGirlZ, your "um.. ok" inspired me to click on your profile to find out more about you, and my formal response is "Um, sweet Jesus pulled-pork style in a hot dog bun, what kind of insanity am I reading?"  The one concession I will make in your favor is that you're probably a stronger chess player than I am.

RedGirlZ, did you look at my most recent blitz game, where I checkmated a guy 450 rating points above me with 0.9 seconds left on my clock?  That's called peak performance.  If I make the right moves in the right order, I can beat anybody in the world.
