My top 3
1)Kasparov
2)Morphy
3)Fischer
Morphy & Fischer were little crazy. Kasparov is also little crazy - he found nothing better but fighting with Kremlin. But genius often rocks on thin red line.

   Nov-05-17 Karpov vs Uhlmann, 1973 (replies)
 
skemup: Black problems start with ..18a5. White bishop on b5 helps white rooks on controlling e - file and suppourts their invasion on 7th rank (it controls d7 square also, so black cannot play ..24 Rd7 for example). Exgchanging black knight which was controling e7 square and restraining ...
 
   Sep-02-17 Tarrasch vs Romberg, 1893 (replies)
 
skemup: 15. Qxh6 Kxh6 16.Nxf7++ Kg6 (the longest variation) 17.Rf6+ Kg7 18.Bh6+ Kg8 19.Rg6+ Kxf7 20.Rg7+ Ke6 21.Bg5 with Nf4++ to follow.Does it work?
 
   Sep-01-17 A Blees vs F Vallejo Pons, 1997 (replies)
 
skemup: morfishine 23.Rg5+ 23..Qxg5 24.Q checks
 
   Jun-04-17 Tal vs Smyslov, 1959 (replies)
 
skemup: I can see only one small inaccuracy(?) in Tal's play here, why he did not play simple 22 Nh6+ spoiling pawn structure ?
 
   Apr-01-12 Korchnoi vs Karpov, 1971 (replies)
 
skemup: what's wrong with 21...Qb4 ?
 
   Mar-06-11 Siciarz vs Glogowski, 1976 (replies)
 
skemup: White is 2 pawns ahead, so draw for Black is not bad.
 
   Feb-02-11 Short vs Ivanchuk, 2011 (replies)
 
skemup: I think 34..Qf4+ works too.
 
   Jan-13-11 I Figler vs G Borisenko, 1971 (replies)
 
skemup: what about 17 Bb2? If white want endgame, better remove black rook..
 
   Dec-30-10 B Kovanova vs N Pogonina, 2010 (replies)
 
skemup: half satisfied today found Bd5 move but did not notice Qe8 answer.
 
   Dec-29-10 L Busquets vs A Mortazavi, 1994 (replies)
 
skemup: some of variations bxh7+ Kh8 Bxg7+ Kxh7 (or Kxg7)* Qh5+ Kxg7(Kg8 Qh8#) Qg4+ K hfile (Kf6 Qg5#) Rf3 Qd8 Rh3+ and 2B+R for 2p+B+Q+K *Kxg7 Qg4+ Kh8 Rf3 Bf6 Rh3 Bg7 Bf5 Kg8 Rh8 and Qh5 with mate
