To me this should be considered the best zugzwang game: a zugzwang with so many pieces and pawns on the board!

this is the best immortal game 
11 pieces (Ale-Nim has 10), and black won with one piece less
In the years following his match with Capablanca, Alexander Alekhine dominated the international chess scene. He was not satisfied with winning a tournament by a small margin, but played every game with a fierce will to win. San Remo 1930, was one of his greatest triumphs, as he won by a margin of 3 1/2 points, and would not agree to draws even in the final rounds. Here his artful use of pins reduces Nimzowitsch, who finished second, to virtual Zugzwang in only 30 seconds.
