on of paul morphy's most famous games is the following one in which he sacrifices his queen for a combination leading to mate. It's...pretty dazzling.

the "Opera game" - a casual game against unexperienced opponents, but at the same time one of the clearest and most beautiful attacking games ever is often used by chess teachers to demonstrate how to use time, develop pieces and generate threats. I couldn't find a link to a pgn file of this game, although I'm sure one exists. You can find a link to the moves from the wikipedia page on paul morphy though.
