The Immortal Game

Submitted by webmaster on Sun, 05/13/2007 at 6:31am.

The "Immortal Game"is one of the most famous chess games ever played! Played in 1851 as an informal match between two European math professors, Adolf Anderssen and Lionel Kieseritzky, this gem has become a true showcase of classic 19th century chess where startling attacks and sacrifices were all the rage.

It was a good game but mate was preventable. It wasn't as good as Morphy's game tho.

I just can't find the words to describe the brilliance of this game. It's as if Black was under White's spell. Great!!
