Comments.Text: I think this question, though good, can be improved by providing more information. For example, for a beginner studying Morphy games will provide a lot of positional insights, many times Morphy outplayed their opponents positionally before executing the attack. While a more advanced player who is interested in IQP positions would do better studying Botvinnik's games.
