| Eggman: Every chess player has to see this game. One of the all-time classic games, and one of the all-time classic final positions! Kieseritsky is one of the all-time great losers, also leaving the chess world with this classic: Adolf Anderssen vs Kieseritzky, 1851 |

| capanegra: Very interesting succession of pins and counter-pins from move 17 to 24. |

| kevin86: Kieseritzky not only lost this brilliancy,but by his own game!!! The final position reminds me of "the Greek Church"-a horrible split in bowling,the consists of three pins on one side and two on the other. eg.4-6-7-9-10 |

| keypusher: <patzer2> not sure if this really belongs in your trapped queen collection, but it sure is worth a look . . . |

| Honza Cervenka: 21...Nb4+ 22.axb4 c6 was worth of attention. |

| Manic: Yeh, poor Kieseritzky lol. Michelet's only game in the database as well. Stunning game as well. It looked like black was always going to win through the middle game, with white's king in the middle, but Michelet kept his cool and in the end the centralised white king won the game! |

| zb2cr: Seems as though it's all forced from Black's 19th onward. <Honza>, re: your suggestion, while I think sound, runs counter to the psychology of many players. White's already up by a piece, and it's hard to concede that you must give up another piece just to win the already pinned Knight. I could wish that Kieseritsky recorded his thoughts on this game. |

| patzerboy: One of the greatest, wildest, wooliest games I know. I marveled at this game when I first saw it over 30 years ago. At the time, I could only gape without understanding. Now I understand much more but still gape at the players' audacity. |

| cyruslaihy: just brilliant, by a genuine set up, the queen is out of play, amazing |

| HeMateMe: I wonder how much of the game was known theory at the time? White might have known this opening, before letting his king go the middle and face those pins. Maybe it was more perspiration than inspiration? |

| al wazir: <Honza Cervenka: 21...Nb4+ 22.axb4 c6 was worth of attention.> How about 21...Ne7 ? If 22. Bxe7 Rxe7, black threatens 23...Rfe8. Of course, if 22. Qxf2, then 22...Bxe4+. |

 |
| Honza Cervenka: <al wazir> Yes, 21....Ne7 looks viable for black too. |

| Judah: Black is not so bad here. He would have won with QxR, if he'd only had one more tempo. |

| sandmanbrig: Wow. This game is unnatural. |

| avidfan: In the final position a possible mate occurs if 31...Qxh1 32.Bg6+ Kd8 33.e7+ Kd7 34.e8=Q+ Kd6 35.Qe5+ Kc6 <35...Kd7 36.Qe6+ Kd8 37.Qe7+ Kc8 39.Qe8#> 36.Be8+ Kb6 37.Qb5# but not if 31...Qxf1 since the black queen controls b5. |

| kevin86: With friends like the pawns-the queen doesn't need any enemies. A picturesque position to say the least!! |

| whiteshark: An unusual and striking game. How the black can't escape... |

| Kaspy2: fyi: "Michele my Belle" probably refers to the refrain line / title of a song from the 60's or so |

| GrahamClayton: This game brings back a few memories!
My Dad taught me the moves of chess back in 1976 when I was 11 years old. I then learned to play by borrowing books from my local library. Horowitz's "Golden Treasury of Chess" was one of the first books that I borrowed, and this was one of the first games in the book. The final position and the moves really opened my eyes to the beauty of chess. |
