Anderssen took 3 pawns and lost his queen, both rooks, light sq. bishop and 2 pawns yet he wins by checkmate. The ultimate position over material example.

[@jasonvoorhes6111]

And then Lionel Kieseritzky crushed him in next games he played in 1851 with king's gambit Lionel gave the new variation of king's gambit and he has mastered every variation of it Adolf was nowhere close to it but surprisingly Lionel lost this one so badly

[@muhammadridho7680]

thats why its called the immortal game

[@maxkho00]

Opera game is similar but even better.

[@danielfreer8487]

@@maxkho00 i disagree, the immortal game is better than the opera game, and is considered the most famous game ever played.

[@maxkho00]

@@danielfreer8487 The problem is: in the immortal game, the opponent simply played stupidly and got punished. If they had even considered the possibility that Andersen might not be sacrificing all his pieces for nothing, they would've won easily.

[@danielfreer8487]

@@maxkho00 The immortal is still the most famous game either way, i do see your reasoning behind saying the opera game "did it better" but that will always be an opinion-based claim. there is simply no denying that the immortal game is the most famous game though, as so many other games in history took on the name "blank's immortal" etc. even a quick google search asking what the most famous game is comes up as the immortal. regardless they are both great and phenominal examples for position being more important than material eitherway though.

[@reljacabarkapa363]

Man I don't know why but I feel so relaxed and have fun watching your videos. Great work, keep it up. Looking forward to your tournament games

[@reljacabarkapa363]

By the way, this is my all time favourite game and I'm glad you covered it

[@agadmator]

+relja cabarkapa Thank you. It is quite a game, definitely :) I love showing it to people who haven't seen it. I remember how amazed I was when I first saw it

[@reljacabarkapa363]

Maybe you know it, but Andersen played another beautiful game, versus Difren. If there is suspense and thrill in chess, it's that game. Check it out if you haven't it's great really.

[@SSmitar]

Simply superlative. Definitely worthy of "The Original Immortal Game" title.

[@schwindsichtigaderechte5293]

I know the rules of chess, but I'm not a knowledgeable player in terms of any strategy. I just recently stumbled upon your channel and it has given me new appreciation for the game. I like that you not only recreate old games and analyze them, but that you capture so much of the passion that goes into playing really intricate games of chess. Keep up the good work, you're doing a mighty fine job!

[@agadmator]

+Schwindsichtiga der Echte Thank you sir :)

[@cptnoremac]

I found Qf6 in a few seconds (of course finding that move isn't the impressive part; seeing this position so many moves ahead is). What's silly is in Blade Runner when they use this game, Tyrell calls this move ridiculous, even though after it's played it's plainly obvious you're getting mated next move. And he's supposed to be a genius.

[@bhaskardasgupta2791]

One of my fav player in terms of sacrifice game.

[@elasiduo108]

One of the best games in chess history. Of course, there are different variations that can be tried, but, real chess is played in the board, and it is a testament of Anderssen genius' and risky style to play this game and finishing it in such an elegant mate with three minor pieces.

[@anthonyjs8048]

[@veryblackcat]

The same for me, kept playing the king's gambit a long time, expecting a kind a miracle like this game to happen. But had better results with the Blackmar-Diemer. Romantic for ever! Would love you to present a game of the last romantic: Rudolf Spielmann.

[@nobuharu2336]

I am playing a little game on my phone Criminal Case: Mysteries of the Past. I am on this chess-related murder case and this 1851 immoral game was mentioned. So I came back here to watch again.

[@tottenvillelegend826]

This game is clearly a classic. White lost all of his pieces except for three minor pieces, and black only lost three pawns. Yet White was still able to checkmate Black.

[@MMircea]

Our chess teacher taught us this game when we were 10 years old. He always mispronounced the players' names

[@SanjeevDD]

Unbelievable, down two rooks, queen and a bishop and still win!!!

[@mohammadshabih5293]

Wow

[@bensmith9128]

4:06 couldn't black push the pawn to kick the knight then take the pawn on b2?

[@Rude_i_Wredne]

Yes, he can. But white does not care, Nd5 with tempo on the black's Queen would happen anyway.

[@royalblue0505]

At 5:36, black could have prevented checkmate by playing Pf6.

[@adiadiadi333]

Dont you think someday in the future, some supercomputer would have calculated all possible chess matches and hence, destroy the game.

[@Narrowcros]

Doubt it, just too much. Almost endless

[@bartlomiejcupial]

not that far future I'd say

[@KnighteyKnight]

Computers already have it basically figured out. Openings at the top level are all based on the memorization of computer research. Of course, people would still have to remember it all, but just in case they do, there are very fun variants of chess, like S-Chess, that make it much harder to calculate, and we can always shift.

[@herzwatithink9289]

I think they say there are a lot more potential chess games than there are atoms in the known universe, so it would have to be a very powerful computer.

[@Trotom7]

It was estimated that there are 10^120 chess games (Shannon's number: 30 possibilities per player, average 40 moves (as in white moves then black) per game). There are 10^80 atoms in the observable universe. If you want to learn more, I recommend Numberphile's video about it.

[@jootpepet]

At 5:05 (black to move) why didn't he just capture A1 w\ check?white king moves, Then capture the other rook with queen? Q×Ra1+ then QxRg1. This way the black bishop is still defending and still connected to Q.. Am i missing something?

[@siddharthjain4893]

After king to e2 and Queen takes rook on g1, it's force mate for black.. knight captures on g7 followed by bishop to c7

[@jootpepet]

@@siddharthjain4893 i know, but how is bxg1 better? (The move he played)

[@jootpepet]

Btw its not forced mate, i played this with stockfish and man he had anwers for every line. And yeah he took the rooks too with bishop and Q

[@forzacavaliere]

At 5:11, wouldn't ...Qxa1 have been better than ...Bxg1, as it puts the King in check and then the Bishop can capture the rook on the next turn?

[@bigmassive69]

This game was brilliantly incorporated into the video game DRAGON AGE: INQUISITION between the characters Solas and The Iron Bull. There's a video of the game on KZbin that shows the moves while supplying the dialogue from the game, which is pure genius.
