1st World Chess Championship 1886 - Game 20

Today I am sharing a beautiful game between Wilhelm Steinitz & Johannes Zukertort held in 1886. It was the final game of 1st World Chess Championship.

 

Here black played very aggressively but white played very well and took a chance for winning the game. In the last move white forked black's king and queen. The knight can't be captured by the bishop (The bishop is pinned by white's queen). So, black resigned in this position. And Wilhelm Steinitz became 1st world champion.

 

Your sincerely,
