| | The immortal game is a chess game played in 1851 by Adolf Anderssen and Lionel Kieseritzky. | | | Adolf Anderssen was one of the strongest players of his time, and was considered by many to be the world champion after winning the 1851 London tournament. | | | In this game, Anderssen demonstrates amazing cleverness - he sacrifices a bishop on move 11, then sacrifices both rooks starting on move 18, and wraps it up with a queen sacrifice on move 22 to produce checkmate. |

| | Steinitz claims that Anderssen had a stronger move in the game with 33.Qb7 although I dont personally find this to be stronger. | | | Anderssen plays very strongly in this game, and deserved to win. | | | I like the fact though that it takes Adolf over 70 moves to beat his young rival in the only 2 games he wins of the match. |

| | Although Anderssen was nine when father taught him how to play and he learned most of what he knew from William Lewis' 1935 book, "Fifty Games between Labourdonnais and McDonnell", he was slow to develop his chess talent. | | | Anderssen became a contributing editor to the Deutsche Schachzeitung in 1846 and in 1848, he drew a match against Daniel Harrwitz, one of the strongest players in Europe. | | | After the tournament Anderssen played some casual games with Lionel Kieseritzky, another mathematics instructor turned chess professional, at Simpson's Divan, one of which became known as Anderssen's Immortal Game, in which he sacrificed a bishop, both his rooks and finally his queen, to give mate. |

These two games are hallmarks in the theoretical realm of sacrificial chess. | | | The two games are also highly entertaining because of Anderssen's ability to develop the checkmate move...Be7#...in two different games from two different mating patterns and mating nets. | | | While sacrificing pieces and pawns had been part of the game of chess from its earliest beginnings, the 1800s saw the tactic rise as a prominent weapon in a player's tactical and strategy arsenal with players such as GM Karl Ernst Adolf Anderssen (1818-1879) (often Anderssen, A. in game notations). |
