| | Bill Wall's Chess Master Profiles - Steinitz |
 | | Steinitz challenged him to a match and they both agreed that the first person to win ten games would be declared world champion, but that if each won nine games, the title would not be awarded. | | | Almost everyone now conceded that Steinitz was the strongest chess player in the world. | | | In Vienna, 1873 Steinitz played in an international tournament, winning 18 games, drawing 5 games, and losing one. |

| | Wilhelm Steinitz was one of the most influential chess players in the history of the game. | | | Most chess players know Wilhelm Steinitz as an Austrian player who became the first official world champion. | | | But few chess players know that Steinitz was an American (and proud of it!) during his championship years and his last years, and that he accordingly came to call himself William rather than Wilhelm. |

| | Wilhelm Steinitz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Steinitz began to play professional chess at the age of 26 in England. | | | Born in Prague (today Czech Republic, then Austrian Empire), Steinitz was regarded the best player in the world ever since his victory over Adolf Anderssen in their 1866 match. | | | By isolating a number of positional features on the board, Steinitz came to realize that all brilliant attacks resulted from a weakness in the opponents defense. |

| | Steinitz would go on to win against Zukertort, of course, but at the time, there was not the awe of Steinitz that there was of Morphy. | | | Steinitz could play open games; see his matches with Blackburne. | | | Steinitz would get routinely slapped around in open games by guys like Chigorin. |

| | Steinitz |
| | Although Steinitz had defeated Zukertort in 1872, some regarded Zukertort as the strongest player in the world. | | | At the Vienna tournament, Steinitz's style became positional, and the resulting transformation was that other players were simply unable to cope. | | | So it was decided that a match should be played and the first to win 10 games should be declared World Champion. |

| | Up to this point Steinitz had played in the normal attacking style of that age – he was even known as “The Austrian Morphy&; by some. | | | However, the great Wilhelm — with his overbearing personality, his seemingly endless domination over other chess pros, and his acid pen — was not liked by most other top players. | | | At this point Steinitz’s enemies gave up, sure that this chess god, however aged, was never going to be dethroned. |

| | Steinitz had a winning record against many of the best players the game of chess has produced: Pillsbury, Lasker, Chigorin, Zukertort, Blackburne, and Anderssen. | | | Steinitz was the first official world chess champion and perhaps the most profound chess thinker of all time. | | | He rethought the game for a generation, emphasizing the importance of small, accumulated advantages. |

| | Iversen Lapp on Chess |
| | "Wilhelm Steinitz was pig-headed." With these laconic words, WM Emanuel Lasker described a real difficult character. | | | Steinitz, who was poor and had to survive with a family as a chess professional answered: "I can renounce glory, but not prize money!" | | | But perhaps he had to be stubborn to achieve success; because Steinitz founded a totally new approach to chess, namely - the scientific one. |
