The Immortal Game was a chess game played on 21 June 1851 by Adolf Anderssen and Lionel Kieseritzky. The very bold sacrifices made by Anderssen to finally secure victory have made it one of the most famous chess games of all time. Anderssen gave up both rooks and a bishop, then his queen, checkmating his opponent with his three remaining minor pieces. It has been called an achievement "perhaps unparalleled in chess literature." Anderssen plays the King's Gambit with the white pieces and Kieseritzky accepts it, making it the King's Gambit Accepted.





The moves are as follows:





1. e4 e5


2. f4 exf4


3. Bc4 Qh4+


4. Kf1 b5


5. Bxb5 Nf6


6. Nf3 Qh6


7. d3 Nh5


8. Nh4 Qg5


9. Nf5 c6


10. g4 Nf6


11. Rg1 cxb5


12. h4 Qg6


13. h5 Qg5


14. Qf3 Ng8


15. Bxf4 Qf6


16. Nc3 Bc5


17. Nd5 Qxb2


18. Bd6 Bxg1


19. e5 Qxa1+


20. Ke2 Na6


21. Nxg7+ Kd8


22. Qf6+ Nxf6


23. Be7++





At the end, Black is ahead in material by a comfortable margin: a queen, two rooks, two bishops, two knights, and five pawns. But the material does not help Black. White has been able to use his three remaining minor pieces - a bishop and two knights - to force mate.





Enjoy!|||Just a matter of opinion but I think Emmanuel Lasker vs William Napier Cambridge Springs 1904 was one of the best it was so complicated experts talked about and analyzed the game for decades.|||I don't know but I played against my Geometry teacher and got a checkmate in 4 moves...
