This one is my favorite for tactical reasons
Good game, but I think if he played Qc6!! on move 15 instead of b5?? he would've proven your 13.Rxe6 to be a mistake causing you to lose your exchange.

This is my "best" game in the sense that I pretty much played it perfectly. My engine considers 16/18 of my moves top choice, disagreeing only with my dubious choice of opening, the Traxler (which I played for the first time in a FIDE-rated game) and my inaccurate move 13... Qh5 (13... Qg4 was better).
Of course, since all of them were fairly simple moves, it's not that much of an achievement, but it's something.
10 or 12 years ago I was really into 1 b4, and found a really hectic line. I spent hours on my pc looking for lines. A few times in league games opponents fell into my prep, and I had this, plus a few similar. I'm still pleased with it, but a few weeks ago on here I forgot the move order and lost badly against Savage :)
Looks very weird, but thats why I love it :). GG
I have 2...The game that give me my title and The game where I almost win against an opponent 400 plus rating over me, where i realized my errors on the board, my bad habits during game (rushing, looking on watch while playing and looking forward for the errand after game). Same game that I sac my queen to be captured by a pawn for a win, same game where I checked using wrong piece that cost me the game...
here is what I consider my best, for very asthetic reasons, plus a very good move by white, Unfortunately I am having trouble with inserting a diagram thing so here is the PGN with some annotations.

1.e4 e5 2.f4 Bc5 { a KGD odd, normally people accept the gambited pawn } 3.Nf3 Nc6 4.d3 { not my best move, I should have played Bc4 then d3 but forgot the move order } 4...d6 5.Be2 Nf6 6.Nc3 exf4 7.Bxf4 O-O 8.a3 h6 9.b4 { pushing his bishop back } 9...Bb6 10.Na4 a6 11.c4 { trying to squeeze his pieces out of play } 11...Nd4 12.Nxb6 Nxf3+ 13.Bxf3 cxb6 14.d4 { my center dominates, but might be a little unstable, I need to back it up} 14...Bd7 15.e5 dxe5 16.dxe5 Ne8 17.Bxb7 Rb8 18.Bxa6 { two pawns up nice } 18...Nc7 19.e6!{ a nice tactical responce, best is fxe6, which I can confirm, I have put this through an engine, and It not only likes e6} 19...Bxe6?? { absolute blunder } ( 19...fxe6 20.Bxc7 Qxc7 21.Qd4 { white is better } ) 20.Qxd8 Rbxd8 21.Bxc7 { thanks for the free piece } 21...Rd7 22.Bxb6 Re8 23.O-O Rd2 24.c5 Bd5 25.Rf2 Ree2?? 26.Rxe2 { my opponent resigned here due to his egreigious blunder on the previous move }
1-0
So far the below one, but I think I will have an even better game in the near future (looking for opportunities to make Tal-like sacrifices!).
Um...it won't insert the chess game for me. You can find it at this link: https://www.chess.com/daily/game/150970664?page=1
Have you calculated this mating pattern till the end? I see it was OTB game, so it would be very impressive.
It was an OTB game. Normally, I would neither see that mating pattern nor play that accurately in the opening and middle game. These moves just occured to me at this game, it was like I've played it before. I slept well previous night I guess.
