Best 19th century chess games #9 - Steinitz vs. Lasker (1896) 0-1
Loading...
Uploaded by AlexJTelford on May 13, 2009
In this excellent game chess grandmasters Wilhelm Steinitz (white) and Emanuel Lasker (black) challenge the paradigms of chess theory with bold and powerful usage of the King as an offensive piece during the midgame, dynamic Queen sacrifices and beautiful Bishop control. This game helped to define chess during the 20th century and onwards. Although the chess played may not seem sound by todays standards of hypermodernism this game is one of the definitive games of the millenium.

Steinitz and Lasker would not play these horrible moves even if they were on drugs.

wtf did i just watch ?

I will check this out further.
I know it looks somewhat unbelievable but I know that Napoleon used to attack with his King, and isn't there a Steinitz quote about being "fond of taking the King for a walk"?
Nice tune by the way, what is it?

-
what 's this song?
-
haha I knew it is fake from the first move.
2. ... h5 (Lasker threatning to bring out his rook) LOL
-
Yeah but I don't see any point whatsoever to promote to a rook or a bishop seeing as though the queen can move the same way that rooks and bishops can move.

@THEmuppett
You may promote to either a knight, bishop, queen or rook. When a pawn is promoted to a piece other than a queen this is called "underpromotion" - it seems that Lasker thought promoting to a horse would be advantageous as it allowed him to fork 3 pieces at once.
