London 1922: Capablanca, Alekhine, Vidmar, Rubinstein, Bogoljubov, Reti, Tartakower, Maroczy, and Euwe -- almost all of the important players of the era, with the notable exception of Lasker (who had lost the WCC match in 1921.)

I don't know how active or strong Tarrasch and Nimzowitch were in this period, or whether anyone else would have been a notable exception.

Interesting to see this tournament; during this time period the most important annual event in England was at Hastings, which was (afaik) an international open swiss, like today.
It was a 16 player round robin i.e. 15 rounds.
If you really want to see an amazing game, check out Reti-Rubinstein (Marienbad 1925). That ending was pretty hard to believe!
There are many amazing games...Alekhine-Fine Kemeri 1937, Spassky-Fischer 13th game 1972,,,,and so on...it depends on what theme are you looking for. Start with endgames is a good advice from Capablanca...
