Old And Beatiful Chess Games
Greetings and welcome the my new blog. Today I will talk about old chess games. These games were from the 14th century up to the 19th and although they are very old, I still find them amazing and I want to share them with you.
The first game that I will show you is the First game ever recorded, meaning they were noted on a piece of paper. The name of that game was Scachs d'Amor, which means in the Catalan language "The Chess Game of Love" and was played in 1475 between Francesc de Castellvi and Narcis Vinyoles.
De Castellvi was the owner of several towns and advisor in the Aragonese court of King Ferdinand, while Vinyoles was a politician and writer and he was known for his literacy production of that time.
The next game was played between Lorenzo Busnardo and NN ( unknown player) in 1590. He was a Jesuit parish priest and a master of Ruy Lopez who neglected his duties over chess. He was also addicted to chess and became a professional chess player.
If you pay close attention, you might recognize this game from The Queen's Gambit.
The following game was played between Napoleon Bonaparte and Madame De Remusat in France on March 20, 1804. Napoleon was a French military commander and political leader who loved chess but lacked the time to become a good player. Only four of his chess recorded games were saved, and 2 of them were between him and Madame De Remusat.
The next game was played between Alexander Mcdonnel and Louis Charles Mehe De La Bourdannis. This game is very famous and you might be able to recognize it from the position below.
Alexander McDonnell was a player of GM strength and he initially studied chess with William Lewis in 1820 and from June to October 1834 contested six matches against Louis Charles Mehe De La Bourdonnais.
The following games that I will show are games played by Wilhelm Steinitz. He was the first official World Champion of chess and defeated many great players such as Paul Murphy, Adolf Anderson, and more.
The first game that I will cover from him was played against Johannes Zukertort. He was a Polish-born British-German chess master and one of the leading world players in the 1870s and 1880s.
In the game, Steinitz played a brilliant tactic to win Zukertort's queen which led to him resigning the game.
In the following game, he played against Karl Hammpe in Vienna in 1859. He was a theoretician who made contributions to the Vienna and the King's Gambit Accepted. Their game features a brilliant rook and queen sacrifice from Steinith.
That's all my friends. There are a lot of history games that I can cover and I've decided to do that in another blog. If you have any suggestions on a certain game or player I would love to hear them. I hope you learned something new here and I will see you in my new chess adventure!
