{The Opera Game was an 1858 chess game played at an opera house in Paris,
during Bellini's opera Norma, between the American chess master Paul Morphy
and two strong amateurs: the German noble Karl II, Duke of Brunswick and the
French aristocrat Comte Isouard de Vauvenargues.Duke Karl and Count Isouard
consulted together, playing as partners against Morphy. It is among the most
famous of chess games.The game is often used by chess instructors to teach the
importance of rapid development of one's pieces, the value of sacrifices in
mating combinations, and other chess concepts.} 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 d6 {Philidor

{Karl Ernst Adolf Anderssen was born in Breslau.He was one of the strongest
players of his day and was regarded by some to be the World Champion after his
victory in the London (1851) tournament.1,2 He lost this honor in the
Anderssen - Morphy (1858) match.One year later, however, Paul Morphy retired
from international chess, and Anderssen was able to regain his reputation as
the world's leading player, drawing Ignatz von Kolisch in Paris 1860 (+5 -5 =1)
,3 and winning the Anderssen - Kolisch (1861) match in London (+4 -3 =2).
Anderssen also won the London International 1862 over Louis Paulsen, who
finished second.2 He subsequently drew him in the Anderssen - Paulsen (1862)
match (+3 -3 =2).In 1866, Anderssen narrowly lost a match with Wilhelm
Steinitz (+6 -8 =0).He scored his final great success by winning the
Baden-Baden (1870) tournament, ahead of Steinitz and Joseph Henry Blackburne.
4 Anderssen is regarded as the quintessential Romantic, and his sacrificial
brilliancies such as The Immortal Game (Anderssen vs Kieseritzky, 1851) and
The Evergreen Game (Anderssen vs Dufresne, 1852) have stood the test of time.

{One of the most beautiful wins ever in the "Ju-Oh-Ko" Giuoco Piano in the
history of chess! Hastings (1895)Hastings 1895 is considered one of the
greatest tournaments in the history of chess.It was one of the first
tournaments to include all the top players, including former World Champion
Wilhelm Steinitz and current champion Emanuel Lasker, Mikhail Chigorin,
Siegbert Tarrasch, Karl Schlechter, Joseph Henry Blackburne, David Janowski,
and others.The result of the 22-game round-robin was a surprise, as American
Harry Nelson Pillsbury won with 16.5 points despite playing in his first
international tournament.[3]} 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Bc5 4. c3 Nf6 5. d4

at the big international tournament at Hastings in 1895 and was on duty when
that wonderful game between Steinitz and Bardeleben was played. Bardeleben
seeing he had a lost game left the room, and Steinitz sat at the board for 50
minutes before he could claim the game on time.He then showed to the
spectators how he won in every variation.The applause was difficult to stop./^
Griffith/^s recollections were also reported by Frank Rhoden on page 66 of the
February 1971 Chess Life & Review: mentiojned also : "as soon as the flag had
fallen, Steinitz demonstrated a forced win in 10 moves - so brilliant that the
specators to the horror of the tournamrn tofficials gave a spontaneous cheer.
Poor sportsmanshup by Bardeleben but also Steiitiz was a great troll and wind
up merchant - apparently syaing things lie he had a better chance of winning
the tournamernt because his opponents had to play Steinitz and he didn't have
to :)} 1-0

{At the closing banquet of the Hastings (1895) tournament, Chigorin announced
that the top prizewinners had been invited to St.Petersburg for a
match-tournament to begin in December that year.The top finishers Pillsbury,
Chigorin and Lasker, plus fifth-place finisher Steinitz agreed to play;
fourth-place finisher Siegbert Tarrasch declined.Even so, St.Petersburg was
enormously strong; the top five places on the December 1895 Chessmetrics list
are occupied by Lasker, Tarrasch, Chigorin, Steinitz, and Pillsbury,
respectively.Each entrant played six games against the other three.} 1. d4 d5
