Examples of hidden gems For the moment, I have a hard time finding time for chess due to studies, so for the time being, chess has to be a purely recreational activity for me. What I'm looking for are examples of beutiful games that may or may not be very well known.

For example, I like the following game played between Yuri S. Gusev (white) and Yuri Averbakh(or E. Auerbach, depending on the source) in 1946. In the game, White's winning idea could be described as(just slightly bending the truth):


Give your opponent a rook
Afterwards, give your opponent a queen, to balance things out
After that, dominate your opponent, and win


The game:

[Date "1946"]
[White "Gusev, Yuri"]
[Black "Averbakh, Yuri or Auerbach, E."]
[Result "1-0"]

The purpose behind this post is that I would like to generate a collection of nice and inspiring games on this site, which I haven't really found yet. I know that it's quite subjective to determine whether a game is beautiful or not, but I feel like stuff like this might bring something valuable to this community.
Gusev - Averbach is a good start; it reminds me of the following game, where less material is sacrificed (only a knight) but more pieces are dominated:

The immortal Zugzwang game

Rg1 Bd6 20. e4 fxe4 {! This sacrifice, which has a quite surprising affect, is based upon the following sober calculation: two Pawns and the 7th rank and an enemy Queen's wing which cannot be disentangled - all this for only one piece!} 21.

Black can now make waiting moves with his King, and White must, willy-nilly, eventually throw himself upon the sword.} 0-1
