What do you think of when you hear the phrase: 'Immortal game'? Is it game you played, you heard of, or from a book you read? Immortal games mean games that includes a fascinating amount of 'romantic' sacrifices and MIND-BLOWING tactics; they sometimes are trademarks of the chess world of their century. In this blog I will tell you 2 of the BEST Immortal games ever.

 Now, I have to tell you something. We can't have an immortal game without great (no, hailed-genius prodigy) players or grandmasters. Let's zoom back to the 19th century...

GAME 1: Morphy - Anderssen (Paris, 1858)

Now, here we have a chess hero; Paul Morphy, the all hailed 'pride and sorrow of chess'.

Now, let's get to the game as why it's so immortal...


This game is truly amazing, and some of the moves even grandmasters nowadays couldn't find, as not considered 'sound'.  But the stunning beauty of it all is worth calling 'immortal'.

GAME 2: Anderssen - Kieseritzky (London, 1851)

The protagonist of this skyrocketing game is the victim of our last immortal game; Mr Adolf Anderssen.
