SPOT ON CHESS PUZZLES MONDAY, June 12th of 2023: Four puzzles from Steinitz Versus Anderssen 1870
Classics - enjoyable games that still have much to say about chess!
In the Baden-Baden tournament of 1870 52 year old Adolf Anderssen scored an impressive tournament victory. Putting his first place prize at risk he even dared to play a risky exchange sacrifice in the final round… and came out on top. Probably more impressive and enjoyable for Anderssen was his shellacking of Steinitz in their two meetings from this event, the second game of which is our game of focus today. I hope you enjoy the four puzzles and this fantastic game from which they are taken. Game given in full down below - S
