The greatest game of all time. I wrote a small book on it!
Polugaevsky vs R Nezhmetdinov, 1958  (A53) Old Indian, 33 moves, 0-1
Even though it is painful to see the Tarrasch get crushed ...
Kasparov vs Gavrikov, 1981  (D30) Queen's Gambit Declined, 33 moves, 1-0
A nice sacrificial idea, and an upset win in a simul.
Reshevsky vs E Schiller, 1972  (D25) Queen's Gambit Accepted, 42 moves, 0-1
Ne4, what a move!
Kasparov vs A Yusupov, 1981  (E11) Bogo-Indian Defense, 39 moves, 1-0
One of the greatest comebacks ever!
Timman vs Kasparov, 1982  (E84) King's Indian, Samisch, Panno Main line, 28 moves, 1/2-1/2
A fun game, not as well known as it should be.
L Filatov vs S F Mayer, 2000  (D05) Queen's Pawn Game, 18 moves, 1-0
There aren't many "obscure" Fischer games :-)
