The IMMORTAL GAME
Loading...
Uploaded by jbragadeesh on Apr 5, 2008
This game was played in 1851 between grandmasters Anderssen and Kieseritsky in London. One of Anderssen's masterpieces, known as the "Immortal Game." Black neglects his development, and Anderssen offers both Rooks to show that two active pieces are worth a dozen sleeping at home.

The guy gave up his Queen and both his Rook in order to check-mate his opponent. If you can't even see what he did, you should probably learn the game before you talk.

Beautiful game. Especially the end. :)

This is a game that happened between Anderssen and Kieseritsky in 1851 as the description says. It's not the blue print for a foolproof strategy, it's not a classic trap. It's an amazing game by Anderssen sacrificing a ton of material to get a checkmate. So of course there's a lot of what ifs and "he didn't have to do thats". It's a fascinating game, thanks for uploading it.

@jkid1134 Never mind, I see that he is preventing his knight from being captured by black's queen.

Why does Andersen play 20. e5?

Error at 49 seconds: Moves 10 and 11 transposed. White's g-pawn is supposed to move before the Rook.

@aleksuu the knight was guarding e7 before it was baited out to take the queen

That was incredible!!!
Why is this called the "immortal" game?

I guess it was called Immortal because white never died although he lost almost all his battalion!!!

You guys have to realize, things that are obvious today, weren't so obvious back then. Theory has taken a long time to develop into what it is today. Things in the future will seem obvious but we don't know them now.
