| mjmorri: This game was one of the two games featured in the chess article in the Encyclopaedia Britannic (9th edition 1878-1888). The other was a game by Morphy. T W Barnes vs Morphy, 1858 Regarding the present game, I will quote from that chess article: "The manner in which White in the first game forces the victory, though losing piece after piece, scarcely finds a parallel in the records of chess strategy." This statement is as true today as it was when it was written 130 years ago. |

| mjmorri: All of you people who are using a computer to analyse this game ought to be run out of town. Does this game have any flaws? - Yes
Is Anderssen's play brilliant - Absolutely!! |

| WhiteRook48: Sacrifices are amazing |
|

| WhiteRook48: There was a Short v Kasparov game that stayed the same with this until move 6 |

| WhiteRook48: how is 10. g4 a mistake? |
|

| WhiteRook48: incredible sacrifices |

| 1. h4: <WR48>
Actually, in the kaspy-short game you're talking about, it was an exhibition and they were forced to play those first 6 moves. |
|

| WhiteRook48: <1. h4> I thought they were only forced to play the first 4 moves |
|
| Mar-14-09 |
| 1. h4: Sorry, yeah, first 4 moves. |

| steve123456: Instead of 20...Na6, I think Kieseritsky should play 20....Ba6(White couldn't force checkmate with an open square) |
|
| May-31-09 |
| steve123456: But then Anderssen could move 21.Nc7+...Kd8 22.Qxa8, and Anderssen would surely win with such a positional advantage. |

| kooley782: Hello, everyone. I'm kooley782. I just activated my account, so I will begin kibitzing. My favorite player is Anderssen, so why not kibitz on the Immortal Game? :) You can see some of my internet games on http://chessinstruction.wordpress.c.... My coach is the one annotating the games. I'm about 1500-1600 rating-wise, but I'm looking to change that REAL soon. :) Well, see everyone around the site! Regards,
Kooley |

| pier daniele: I'm a beginner, so I apologize in advance if my question would be silly. Why 20.Kg2 is a such terrible move? I did that in "Guess the move" and I got -3 points!! But I can't understand my error ... |
|

| tommy boy: <pier daniele> because there would be a Q+K pin position if Black plays Bb2. |
|

| GrahamClayton: The position after Black's 20th move was featured on a postage stamp released by the South American country of Surinam: http://www.tri.org.au/chess/Surinam... |

| sfm: <pier daniele: I'm a beginner, so I apologize in advance if my question would be silly. Why 20.Kg2 is a such terrible move?>
It is not that terrible! I think that most master players, in a blitz game, including myself, intuitively would have played 20.Kg2.
But it is a big mistake. After that move, if Black play 20.-,Na6 it makes no difference. But Black plays 20.-,Bb7, our nice combination is gone and it looks like Black wins. |

| Qb6: Why didn't Black play 20. ... Ba6, creating flights for his king? |
|
| Dec-21-09 |
| reanald: 18...Qa1+ 19.Ke2 Qb2! and instead of (20.Kd2! Bxg1! 21.e5 Ba6*,) white could play 20.Rc1 Ba6 21.e5 Nc6 22.Nxg7+ Kd8 23.Qxf7 Nd4+ 24.Kd1 |

| zanshin: One of my favorite games as a child, now subject to the ruthless analysis of Rybka 3 ;-) I compare Rybka's suggestion versus the move actually played. Critical points in the game, White move 17. The move played is deemed so inferior that analysis is halted after only 9 plies.

| zanshin: Second point - the controversy over which rook was actually captured first. Rybka says take with the Queen first.

| nimh: There's fourth controversy on the 18th move as well. The move played was by no means good. |
