Famous grandmaster blunders

Hi community, I am looking for someone to curate ~20 famous grandmaster blunders for me.

What I exactly need for each blunder:

  • the pgn file of the game
  • the move that was the blunder
  • short explanation why it was a blunder
  • why the blunder is famous (e.g., world championship game etc)

If you are interested to do this, please drop me a message including your background and how much you would charge :)

Thank you!

Educated guess: White was cheating^^

In other words: now we know why he is paranoid.

Unzicker v Fischer Buenos Aires 1960.
Fischer's worst tournament result, attributed to late night partying. He accidentally touched his h pawn, had to move it and lost quickly.
Szabo v Reshevsky Zurich 1953
In the early middlegame (ie no time trouble as an excuse) both sides overlook a forced mate. Some say Szabo deliberately agreed a draw to give Reshevsky a chance of catching up with the Soviets.
