honestly... i hate doing puzzles because i try like 15 moves and none of them are right.. but this isnt about puzzles... this is about some of the best chess games to learn from.. i always see people refering to chessmasters ive never heard of (i dont know any...) and showing puzzles from their games.. this forum is to help identify (tell the names) some of the greatest chess masters, and direct us to where we can read or watch, or analize their games... please, if there are websites out there that have any chessmaster games on them, then please let me know the url because, the only way you can become the best, is learning from the best.... thanks

If you want to learn and have fun playing through master games the best idea is to visit your local library or bookstore and buy a book of annotated games. If you just want tons of games, chessgames.com has over 400,000 and you can view them for free. If you want something more professional Chessbase  has over 3,500,000 games  plus weekly updates--and that's enough even for masters.

Chessmaster XI includes a 600,000 game database, with the 900 most famous games of chess highlighted, and dozens of games deeply annotated. That's a good option between the free chessgames.com and the professional chessbase line.

There are several databases that provide games of old masters: chessbase, chesstempo, 365chess, and others. They are not annotated so they may not be very instructive for lower-rated players.

check out the libraries in your area. There are great collections of old masters that have annotations. Playing through their games is a great way to learn the openings they favored.
