THE Immortal Chess Game - Every Move Explained - Anderssen vs. Kieseritzky, 1851

In 1851, London held the "Great Exhibition" to showcase British technology and culture. Concurrent with the event, Howard Staunton organized the world's first international chess event. All of the greatest players of the day were invited. Adolf Anderssen won the event in impressive fashion, but his greatest achievement was a friendly game played in the event. Anderssen's incredible victory against Kieseritzky has dazzled chess players for more than 150 years.
Lessons:
* Accurate calculation is vital to chess success.
* Exposed pieces (Qh4, Bb5, Nf6) give the opponent tempos in attack.
* Don't be greedy.

OMG ITS THE GREATEST GAME EVER PLAYED (finds a problem with every move)

[@nightone9720]

Literally. The greatest game in the world! "Now every single move is a mistake and this game should have been played completely different from what a actually happened."

[@andrecirillo]

I'm studying this match today for the first time and man, it was awesome. I'm also new to this channel and I think this is your best video model: the background and board colors, the room lighting, your looking and the way you talk. I think you should always follow this receipt.

[@khanelias]

You're one of the few that can actually explain in a proper cadence. So many great and well known masters stream and publish videos thinking because they can play the game they can teach. But just rushing through literal sections of a game just because it's super clear and simple to you as a grandmaster doesn't help anybody else. Thanks, please keep it up!

[@JM-ic9yx]

Wow, such a cool case study. I don’t think I realized just how impressive this was until I realized just how much more material black had by the end of the game

[@jasoncolson3100]

This. What is often overlooked about this game is that while Anderssen indeed sacrificed all but white's three minor pieces that were directly involved in the checkmate, he did so while capturing only three of black's pawns, leaving all of black's major & minor pieces on the board. Nonetheless, black is helpless to defend against the attack!

[@danielhoward6558]

Thank you for breaking this game down move by move. I was playing a chess puzzle of this exact match from 5 moves until checkmate and I was going crazy trying to figure out the first move. Once I got that out of the way I was able to figure out the rest but that pawn to e5 is crucial! Thanks again.

[@KurtMilligan]

Thank you Sam! Great stuff.

[@bryanmooneyham5813]

Thank you so much, I've been struggling to get better, this is what people need frfr

[@Machielovic]

Recently saw this game for the first time, now I get it, so creative and out of the box. The pawn blocking the queen so many moves later talk about thinking ahead wow.

this series is awesome. Just watched bobby fischers episode. so fun!

Absolutely beautiful. New to the channel and I'm here to stay

[@advetmane86]

hello sir. which app do you use?

[@anonymousstout4759]

I'm new to the game can I ask a question why the bishop are so strong? Isn't the king could just capture the bishop whenever the bishop captured the f7 pawn??

[@anonymousstout4759]

@@sam_copelandsorry for the confusion, I mean the white light square bishop at the beginning why black need to sacrifice it's pawn 2:57

[@jrice5155]

Hot wings guy?

[@Djellowman]

Why doesn't black capture the rook on a1 first, giving check, instead of taking the rook on g1 with his bishop??

[@johnsorrelw849]

Black would have won that way according to the commentary

[@cheeseandonions9558]

Love this game... It teaches that initiative is better than any positional consideration...

[@dbrock1553]

What it really shows is that weak play against an attack allows you to drop a lot of material and still win. Today, any 2000+ player would have defended better.

[@andrewqi6695]

@@dbrock1553 lol this was the 1850's

[@dbrock1553]

@@andrewqi6695 Yes, exactly, they didn't even have an idea of proper defense till Steinitz, who wouldn't come to prominence for about 3 more decades. They didn't even understand the value of pieces, so they made so they often very poor exchanges, and positionally they blundered regularly without even knowing it.

entertaining!!

[@chriszablocki2460]

Informed decisions.

[@johnsorrelw849]

Is there a reason black couldn't take pawn to g4 by en passant? Might not be a good line but I checked out this video specifically hoping to have that explained.

[@arnaumoratinos5605]

It discovers the black queen on g5

@@arnaumoratinos5605 Ah, thank you! Should be obvious; instead i made it obvious that i suck at chess!

After 19. Qb2 It is not a win for black. It is a draw with correct play.
