The opening is tin- s.mie as occurred in two match
between AndMTMen and Morphy, excepting that
Andemea retreated his B to Bz on the 6th move. White

has obtained the superior position, chiefly owing to Black's

move P Q 4, which loosens the KP.

White, STEINITZ
Remarks bv John
Black, Bardeleben.
A. Galbreath.
Notes by Dr. Tarrasch.
By an almost universal consensus of those mostly entitled

to an authoritative opinion, the famous game between Steinitz
and Bardeleben in the Hastings Tournament of 1895 is at
least one of the best games ever played.
Whether it is
actually awarded the prize as "the" best, or not, it will stand
as a classic masterpiece for all time.
It is a gem of a game,
which for brilliancy combined with absolute soundness has

never been surpassed and rarely, if ever, equalled.
21
c
book of the
given as it appears in the
After Steinitz's twenty-fifth move
Von Bardeleben, perceiving that he had a lost game, and
objecting to the applause that generally followed a remarkable victory, absented himself from the room, leaving Sleinitz
to win by the clock.
Steinitz thereupon worked out an
extraordinary mating combination, ^vhich he explained, to
the delight of those present, and the moves are recorded by
the editor of the book.
It was never doubted that this game
would secure the first prize for brilliancy, and in making the
award the judges said " The whole of the play was extremely
artistic and beautiful as well as brilliant."
The game
is

It was played in August, 1853, between Prof.
evergreen."
Adolf Anderssun, one of the greatest chess masters, and M.
Jean Dufresne, who is liardly less distinguished as an author
and chess player. In the opinion of Dr. Zukertort this game
is a finer one than the celebrated game between Anderssen
and Kieseril/.ky. Particular attention is invited to White's
19111 move.
Pages of analysis have been devoted to the
ensuing position, the result being that Anderssen's forecast
of the result has been proved correct in every variation.

"THE IMMORTAL GAME."

White, ANDERSSEX
Black, Kieseritzky (1851).
Remarks and notes by John A. Gal breath.
The subjoined game is the most celebrated and by
universal consent the most brilliant game on record.
It has
appeared in almost every chess column, and in most
collections of games, and has justly been named " The
Immortal Game."

" From now on to the end of the

game Lasker says

not very difficult to understand why the
Immortal
Game between Anderssen and Kieseritzky should appeal to
the popular mind.
Besides the enormous sacrifice of material
by White, there is the rare occurrence of all Black's pieces
on the board when he is mated
" The effect of the tremendous labour of the
annotators of
this game must ultimately result in removing it from the
singularly high position in which it has been fixed. The
demonstrable fact that White missed a certain win, and that
later Black missed a certain draw, practically remove the
game from the classics."

With all respect to Dr. Lasker, we regard his remarks as

sheer nonsense. They amount to this, that if Dr. L. or the
learned annotators had had the handling of either of the
forces the game would not be this game, but something very

Labourdonnais (White) v. M'Do\NKi,L.

and comments by John A. Galbreath.
Notes
The following is the fiftieth of a series of eighty-eight games,

comprising six matches, played at the Westminster Chess
Club, London, during the summer and autumn of 1834,
between those famous chess paladins, Louis Charles Mahe de
Labourdonnais. of France, one of the greatest chess masters
who ever lived, and Alexander M'Donnell, probably the
greatest player England ever produced.
The result of these matches are as follows Labourdonnais
won forty-four, M'Donnell won thirty, and fourteen were
drawn. It was the opinion of Paul Morphy that the games
of the series are incomparably the finest on record, and when
he commenced a chess column in the New York Ledger in
1859 it was hi s intention to publish the whole of the games,
with his own notes.

Remarks by John A. Galbreath.
Notes by W.

White,
Steinitz.
The following game is justly regarded as one of the finest

on record. It may also be considered as " high-water mark"
for Zukertort, since it was on the result of this game that he
was assured
of
winning
in the International
Chess Congress
of 1883 (London). The decision of the first prize being likely

to depend on the game, a very high degree of interest was
shown in the result. An unusually large crowd gathered to
witness the contest, and a splendid board and ivory set of

This handspecially ma^e for the purpose, were used.
and valuable outfit was afterwards presented to
Zukertort.
The victory also, as anticipated, gave him the
first prize in what was probably the greatest tournament ever
men,
some
held.
At the conclusion of the game, Blackburne, amid the

hearty cheers of the spectators, cordially congratulated his
opponent on his grand and successful struggle for the premier
prize.
