 Most over-rated move in chess history...
according to The Joys of Chess(book) is 23...Qg3 in Levitsky v. Marshall (Breslau 1912)
I don't entirely disagree. Thoughts?

 Re: Most over-rated move in chess history...
Not my choice either.
Some years ago I was given the job of judging the brilliancy prize for the Scottish championships. From the entries, it really came down to deciding between only two games - a brilliant sacrificial combination, or an original conception. The brilliancy combination I recognized though in a new setting from a stem game ( and others ), likely the same game the player had in his memory. The winner had no sacrifice at all, but really impressed.

16. ... Nc6 in Averbakh - Spassky, 1956
It's the #1 most fantastic move ever according to Tim Krabbe, but I just think Averbakh didn't respond correctly, and Spassky defended like hell to keep a draw here.

 Re: Most over-rated move in chess history...
There is a high level of subjectivity involved. Until someone gives criteria, its just a lot of blowing in the wind. What is valid to assessment would need agreement. It is not enough to just have an opinion. As is well known, for every single thought in this world, a person could fill a beach with sand, but every one grain stands for an opinion.
