Ivanchuk vs Topalov, 2007  http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1451573
This superbishop game gives me a smile everytime I play it through: Igor Khenkin vs Rustam Kasimdzhanov
FIDE WCh KO 2001  http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1209933

And my votes goes to the Flashy TRIPLE QUEEN SAC:
Efim Bogoljubov vs Alexander Alekhine Hastings 1922 http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1012099

An endgame B+3Pvs6p! http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1110268
Zsofia Polgar vs Semon Palatnik Rome 1989 Part of Her "sac of rome"

Simply a classic: http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1233404
Paul Morphy vs Duke Karl / Count Isouard Paris 1858

Favorite Miniature: http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1224575
Serafino Dubois vs Wilhelm Steinitz London 1862

Favorite Fischer game: http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1028463
Robert James Fischer vs Arthur Bisguier 1963

Best Steintz game! http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1337253
Horace Curzon Plunkett vs Wilhelm Steinitz Oxford 1874


geez I haven't even touched games by other favorite players! Kasparov, Karpov, Tal, Bronstein, Christiansen, Nakamura, Carlsen, Short  and Kramnik! I could go on forever!

This has to be my favorite Kasparov game. He takes triple pawn weakness AS A STRENGTH! To beat none other than Larry Christiansen

Larry Christiansen vs Garry Kasparov Moscow 1982

Capablanca-Spielmann, Bad Kissingen 1928
  

The book had the effect good books usually have: it made the stupids more stupid, the intelligent more intelligent and the other thousands of readers remained unchanged.
