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.
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
I am here for like half a year, at around 200k subs and just found it the first time..., it will stay. Like most immortals i guess... Just saw the emxican too, great!
I think so too. I started this way since I don't have time for editing, but I actually prefer it this was now. Even though the #1 rule on UA-cam is: Edit everything :D
@@agadmator Yeah, if you took the time to edit, you'd release probably one third of the content. Editing is so time consuming! Here in 2019 and glad this hasn't changed. :)
i have the feeling in the old days chess was more free than today, love this kind of style. thx man, because of you i play chess, when i play chess i feel so free, i love it !!
Chess was about sitting with the family, having great conversations, and playing moves to fill the gaps. Now it’s about memorising as many lines as possible.
Your chess channel is my favourite, you make me feel like it is "our" chess channel, your videos are great! This might be silly, but, I feel like you are a friend that I have never met. Much love from the Azores, Portuguese islands.
These are my favorite games. Most chess is reactionary to immediate threats. These type of games are focused on winning. The king is always the goal in chess, something easily overlooked.
@@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.
@@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.
+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
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.
He never asks us to subscribe to his channel and like the videos, because he knows we will do it anyway. He knows our love for chess is big and we know his love for chess is even bigger. Lots of Love from India.❤️
i feel that i need to comment on this game.. i'm now 61 years old. i got really interested in chess about 12 years ago, before my Dad passed away.. But why do i need to comment?.. because this is the ONLY Chess game i have ever seen, in which i could picture something happening on the board, that blew my ,mind.. it was the two knights. and when that single pawn was placed in between them, i could swear it looked like he was closing a door or gate!.. the most beautiful single move in chess, next to the check mate of Paul Morphys greatest game.
After watching this game years ago and watching so many games and even playing many good games myself, I came back to watch this again and the game starts with King's Gambit...!!! That's the very moment I felt that An Immortal Game can't get any better than this ♥️😍🙌🏼 Absolute beauty.
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!
This is the game from Blade Runner (1983). You have done videos of games from movies, just thought you would like to know that for a possible future series or playlist.
@@jacobpeters5458 thanks for pointing that out. I am wondering why I got that wrong. I normally always look up dates before posting about them. You are right; I am not a true fan of Blade Runner, but rather a mildly entertained viewer. Peace.
@@jacobpeters5458 I have respectfully taken note of your instruction. I will probably never cite it again. Lol maybe I'll re-watch it and become a bigger fan, therefore earning the position of one suitable to comment about it in the future.
Thanks so much for sharing ! Blade Runner brought me here - Sebastian Vs Dr. Eldon Tyrell scene - unforgettable as it’s the greatest film and science fiction film ever made will never be bested !!!
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.
I learnt this game so I could beat my older brother, he was 'good' enough to beat the adults and teachers - I was happy for him, until he said, 'you'll never beat me'. me 14yr him 19 : This Andersen game I found in a library book - realised I can lose material (even Queens and Rooks) and win. And the rest is history: beating him over and over. That was in the late 80s early 90s - Thanks for doing this video, what sweet memories.....
The immortal game on June 21st, 1851 is probably my favorite game ever, this shows how Anderssen took 3 pawns & lost his queen, both rooks, light sq. bishop & 2 pawns but he still was able to manage to win by checkmate. With the two knights & 1 black sq. bishop he was down 21 points, but could still give checkmate with his weak material. This 170 year old immortal game just will never get old, no matter what the moves which were played back than!
I love watching Anderssen's games. It's not often you can describe a chess master as playing with panache, but that's Anderssen. He didn't just want to win, he wanted to win in the most dramatic and entertaining way possible.
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.
Really this game is simply awesome and how creative our ancestors were ,, really modern chess seems very boring and engines suck because all players following the engines move and forgetting their creativeness ,,# thanks agadmator for this game ❤️ from india
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.
Great video. However, a minor point. I believe Kasparov had to play the black side of this game (with the b5 counter gambit) not against Shirov but against Nigel Short on the sidelines of the 1993 PCA World Chess Championship.
Lionel Kieseritzky (1806-1853) died penniless at a charity hospital for the insane in Paris. He was only 47. He was buried in a pauper’s grave. Only one person came to his funeral, a waiter at the Café de la Régence. :(
Fun fact: Actually in this game the player with the black pieces started the game (Anderssen), but we just see that from white’s perspective as we are regular to. #agadmator P.s. my chess teacher told me that

😂😂
I love this game, seen it a few times and it never gets old.
What a coincidence seeing you here. I'm subscribed to your channel
I am here for like half a year, at around 200k subs and just found it the first time..., it will stay. Like most immortals i guess... Just saw the emxican too, great!
Yeah Chess is a fun game
I'd love to see him redo this game as he seems to have come out of his shell since this recording.
Sacrificing the most powerful pieces in the game for a checkmate, when do you even see that?
Mortals: You cannot win a match down 10+ points of material.
Anderssen: Hold my rooks.
Anderssen: take my queen
There is not such a thing in chess as a point of material. The only winning law is that checkmate ends the game.
The fact that you don't edit your videos makes them so wonderful to watch and listen to. Stick to it!

+The Beat That You Love That's the best feeling. Glad to hear it :)
There are lines that you can take in the opening to force open tactical games like this. (I'm too weak a player to explain this but it's still useful)
Chess was about sitting with the family, having great conversations, and playing moves to fill the gaps. Now it’s about memorising as many lines as possible.
@@observantmagic4156 always was. Chews theory is not new, and old players still had to remember theory to win.

one of the best games i have ever seen
thats why its called the immortal game
Opera game is similar but even better.
@@maxkho00 i disagree, the immortal game is better than the opera game, and is considered the most famous game ever played.

It was first time in history that a person sacrificed all his major pieces to hunt opponents king down . Excellent game
And a Bishop too, more amazing is that the opponent has got all the minor and major pieces in the game.
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
By the way, this is my all time favourite game and I'm glad you covered it

Remember seeing this game for the first time in Fritz and Chesster. Been a huge fan of chess ever since.
Simply superlative. Definitely worthy of "The Original Immortal Game" title.
I love the passion with which you describe the game, it really brings it to life.
This is one of my favorite games of all time. Thanks for covering it.
3:50, doggo doesn’t like Qf6.
Best chess engine, he knew that something will go wrong XD

I really loved and appreciated ur efforts. way present and giving short history about every game it's amazing
Thank you, kind sir :)
The Immortal and evergreen games will never be duplicated. Both players with the black pieces never short castle and neither lasted 30 moves.
I came across a chess book tonight and saw this game. What a beautiful game.
Thanks so much for sharing ! Blade Runner brought me here - Sebastian Vs Dr. Eldon Tyrell scene - unforgettable as it’s the greatest film and science fiction film ever made will never be bested !!!
Bro, been following you from the beginning, love comeing back to your origional days still!
This and the Evergreen Game are my Favorites! Anderssen was just a Genius, awesome!
Simply beautiful. First saw it more than forty years ago and it still gives me a thrill.
Anderssen was like "Look, lowly peasant! I don't even need a queen to mate you!"
or a bishop and both rooks!
you want a rook? Here, take anotha!
why do the last 3 words sound so wrong LOL
i know this is a joke but he very much did need the queen to deliver mate. nobody else could've forced the knight away from defending e7!
Down two rooks, a bishop and the queen.
Not a problem.
Well, he was never down a queen, really. Black was forced to capture the queen and it was checkmate on the next move. But yes, an excellent game.
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.
Great to see this game in motion along with your analysis! Thanks!
Wow! What a strong vision he had. Thank you for sharing and for the excellent commentary.
watching this video for the first time after seeing plenty of your videos already. Pretty excited!
Enjoy :)
One of my fav player in terms of sacrifice game.

This is the first game i memorised
You have memorised all moves of this immortal game?
when the quote "activity over material" is taken literally
Hey, also visiting 3 years down the line
I love this game...a beautiful game by Anderson
Nice chess history. Perhaps some LaBourdonnais game next?
0:42
Anderson: Yeah I’m ready for checkmate

One of my favorites! Can you do Nimzowitsch vs Tarrasch with the double bishop sacrifice?
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.
What a GOAT for his time. With modern theory and study imagine how better he could have been than he even was. 🖤🖤🖤
beautiful, i started taking chess seriously after I saw it long ago. can you upload kasparov vs anand 1995 world championship game 6
Really this game is simply awesome and how creative our ancestors were ,, really modern chess seems very boring and engines suck because all players following the engines move and forgetting their creativeness ,,# thanks agadmator for this game ❤️ from india
Let us be fair to Kiesieritzsky. This game would have been forgotten had he not published it.
Just watched this several times -- great game and theory!
GG it would be nice to see a couple of Anderson's games. Please consider reviewing more Adolf Anderssen games
Great stuff. Really enjoyed that.
The kings bandit was already my favorite opening n now ima keep playing it
Love your channel. Excellent content & presentation. 🙏💖

Nice game of sacrificing almost all pieces and checkmating the opponent in a beautiful manner .
Tal would be proud of Anderssens sacrifices
Anderssens did this 100 years before Tal. I think it's the opposite, Anderssen would be proud of Tal.
I recommend Mozart's "Requiem: Lacrimosa" for the dramatic music.
Holly Molly what a Legend 🤝👋👌🏼👍

A master piece game....
Truly spectacular
Stockfish rates Angerson's e5 move as an inaccuracy and much prefers Re1 by +1.41
And that is why computer chess is a crock of shit. Ruining the best game in the world.
Anderson:Take my pieces,and I will take the game :)
Beautiful game! Iam studyng the Andersen' games
Another classic! Cheers!
3:52 his dog is like "THE QUEEN HATH ESCAPED"
Here from the opera house game! Love the analysis on that morphy game fyi!
Oh, what a game, what a lovely game!
I saw this game when I brought a Chess game for my Amiga and it was one of the 112 games in the Library.
Thanks man, this made my holiday. Always wondered how this mythical game panned out. Know I know, with a dog for good measure.
the most sacrificial game I would have seen, I even forgot that I was watching 2 GMs battle against each other
Very elegantly played by Anderssen.
Don't know what's more fascinating: the dog on the couch or the actual game. 50:50 for me. :-)
I've been watching Antonio for so many years now, it's great to see Medo again!
O Furtuna song would be fitting, everytime you said a brilliant or best move, that song will play
This splendid video is suggested to me after I watched that Blade Runners chess scene :)
Nice game. Mage.
And you as well. Tal-Vashoth.
Great video. However, a minor point. I believe Kasparov had to play the black side of this game (with the b5 counter gambit) not against Shirov but against Nigel Short on the sidelines of the 1993 PCA World Chess Championship.
Absolutely beautiful position.
Totally worth the Title "The Original"
First time I see. Amazing!
Yeah, definitely beautiful game.
Absolutely beautiful game.
Kieseritzky certainly saw that he was finished after Anderssen took the pawn with Ng7+. Cool of him to let Anderssen finish to checkmate.
Lionel Kieseritzky (1806-1853) died penniless at a charity hospital for the insane in Paris. He was only 47. He was buried in a pauper’s grave. Only one person came to his funeral, a waiter at the Café de la Régence. :(
BEAUTIFUL CHECKMATE
definitely need a 60fps remake of this one.
Rumour has it that Anderson once sacrificed all of his pawns and pieces and checkmated the opponent with his king.
Interesting to see how much chess has developed since this time!
New to chess here but if Anderson were to time travel to the present day, would he still be as formidable as he was back then?
Fun fact: Actually in this game the player with the black pieces started the game (Anderssen), but we just see that from white’s perspective as we are regular to. #agadmator
P.s. my chess teacher told me that
awesome. beautiful game.
Love your videos, just subscribed.
I'm such an amateur at this game but this is amazing
3:52 the dog kills me lol
The game is wonderfull.
