    done. Love both of those games. Good quote from Capa about that game;

     

    I thought for a little while before playing this, knowing that I would be subjected thereafter to a terrific attack, all the lines of which would be of necessity familiar to my adversary. The lust of battle, however, had been aroused within me. I felt that my judgment and skill were being challenged. I decided that I was honor bound, so to speak, to take the pawn and accept the challenge, as my judgment told me that my position should then be defensible. – Jose Raul Capablanca (on being confronted by Marshall's new Marshall Attack)

    Nice list.  Personally, I think Tal-Larsen 1965 (http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1139729 ) deserves to be included.

    Also, I think any list of legendary chess battles needs Capablanca-Marshall 1918: the unveiling of the Marshall Gambit and one of the most magnificent defencive displays one could find.  (http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1095025)
