Here is a good one. I love the beauty in the mate. It is also one of the most famous games of chess ever played. Not often does one Master dominate another so (Retily) readily.
Thank you that is a big reason I start with these in my collection. It always feels better to know the best in the world lose, and sometimes lose in the worst ways. To further this point I have chosen to follow with a game from a well known prodigy Jose Raoul Capablanca, here a player that won 94% of his tournament games gets taken out in 13 moves. I will say this is from a simul, so there is a good chance his attention was elsewhere but having one of the best simul records as well as tournament in the history of greats, it is still a rare gem.
Akiba Rubinstein, the Polish Jew was a great player and to have learned the game at age 21. He is inspiration for all of us who learned to play chess ( not just how the pieces move ) late in life. Here is a quick knockout of the great Akiba.
