The only think I would have liked is for White to have played 22. B f6 and it could have met my (arbitrary) criteria of an immortal game – where the only pieces left on the winning side are a bunch of minor pieces all necessary for the mate.

Couldn’t be bothered clicking through to the game as that website usually crashes the software over here, but I’m guessing it’s 9. N(f3)xe5, anticipating 9…. B(h5)xQ, 10. Bxf7+, K-e7 11. B-g4+ winning the Queen back. Actually that’s virtually forced so of course that’s what it’s going to be unless there’s some whacky bizarre out there move only a Kasparov could see.
