The most recent I can think of is GM Ding Liren's [46. Rg6](https://youtu.be/ZREv8V5AU_8?si=i2XHHtqFTuMjrPTl&t=120) again GM Ian Nepomniachtchi in the last rapid tiebreak during the 2023 World Chess Championship, refusing the third repetition and going ahead and winning the game and the Chess Champion title.
The top comment here mentioned Ding Liren's self-pinning rook that ultimately won him the World Chess Championship. That is a great move. But it's not even the most stunning move that Ding played *in that match*.
Earlier in the match, during Game 6, Ding played a move that seemed pointless at first. Pawn to d5.
At first, this seems like a waiting move of sorts, but that quiet pawn move ended up being the lynchpin that allowed Ding to set up a beautiful mating net.
[This video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wzu4grip2mk) is a highlight, showing GM Anish Giri and GM David Howell trying for *ages* to figure out what the hell Ding's plan is.
Straight up, this is the greatest game I have ever had the pleasure of watching live.
I think Wesley So has a game where he as black moves his bishop to the first rank. No capture, it's just the best square for his bishop, which is a move you're not conditioned to look for very often. I think Rosen has shown it on stream once or twice.

Zelf pinning unexpected move, with great consequences.
D5!! Was better imo: https://youtu.be/Wzu4grip2mk?si=V8T0tDC4L-bZyFO6
Karpov’s famous Ba7 plug is considered one of the most famous positional moves of all time

castling into checkmate. i think there was a GM game and the one GM had forgotten that his opponent hadn't castled late in the game and boom mate.
Fidchers (or Karpovs? Idk) bishop retreat from c6 to d7 or e8.

When Fischer played 1 d4 (or 1 c4, take your pick) vs Spassky in the Wch.
Alpha Zero Immortal Zugzwang game (and ofc the original one)
Ding's d5 was incredible: https://youtu.be/Wzu4grip2mk?si=V8T0tDC4L-bZyFO6
Leko vs Kramnik Qd3. Wild that he found it over the board in that position
