What's your most blundered game?

#1
I noticed that most interesting and mind blowing games are games with huge amount of inaccuracies and mistakes on both sides.
Not this "ideal" games 0-0-0.
I'd really like to see some games from top players 2500+ which were complex enough to make players use a lot of non-perfect solutions while having time to think on position.
- Game MUST be classical or long blitz
- Both sides must have huge amount of mistakes
- Both sides masters or near
Can you dig up some fascinating games by this criteria?
For me (2000), it seems cool games have pair of blunders, about 10 mistakes and a bit of inaccuracies.

#2, very strange game, first blunder doesn't seem to have any reasoning except premove and it's very unclear why black didn't win relatively fast. Yet can't describe it as complex game.
May be other examples?
Or I may be wrong and a lot of complex games played without errors?

I don't think many master games will have more than a few blunders per player. I have of course had "blunderous" games. They're normally blitz games that I wasn't psychologically prepared for. It's a lot easier to avoid terrible mistakes when one is in the right state of mind but it also depends on the characteristics of the game. Not all blunders are obvious. Some of them would look like reasonable moves to most players until they're exploited with proper execution. Oddly enough, some blunders might actually help somebody win. (Not to say that they should be encouraged of course). However, blunders tend to create abnormal characteristics in the position. Abnormal characteristics tend to confuse players. And whenever a player is confused, he/she is significantly more likely to lost just because of the confusion alone.
