Hi there in this, shall we go over an absolutely iconic game known as the Immortal Game?
This refers to a specific game of chess that Adolf Anderson played in 1851.
So Karl Ernst and of Ansen, born in Breslau, he was regarded as one of the strongest players in his
time and basically, you know, in effect, like the world champion.
But it was before the official world championships.
It was before chess.
Was that official to have an official world chess champion.
It was his victory in London tournament of 1851, which people thought, you know, he was the strongest
in the world.
It was only until 1858 some doubt was cast because he lost the match against Paul Morphy.
However, one year later, Paul Morphy left the scene and he kind of regained the reputation as the
world's strongest player for a series of Tilghman's.
So in this game, the immortal game, we see him actually playing before and after he the Kings gambit,
this was like one of the top openings of the day.
And it's actually it can be a really, really dangerous opening indeed.
We see he takes effort and bishops for the bishops gambit.
So not playing like a free, inviting Koinange for Jack, he might think, well, this is a bad idea.
Actually, modern grandmasters have tried this sometimes, like the pogoing sisters to the pogoing has
won great games from this position.
And the queen is subject to Tampoe again.
So we see B5 here being played in this particular game.
Bishop Saxbe, five Black, had an idea perhaps of using this lighter might have sex.
We see Africa at Tampoe.
The Queen moves holding onto a forty three point eighty five, which now carries the threat you should
be aware of.
Jeoffrey check to win this war on H1 one white parries that with nightfall you see Queen G5 and now
NEUTZE five, the Queen is in this position attacking two pieces.
So that was Parit C6 and we see the move G4 here making use of that pin, that pinpoint power to play
this one.
As the night goes back.
Rook Jiwon, we see white sacrificing a whole piece here.
You might wonder what on earth is this about this piece sacrifice.
Yeah.
Why.
It has a fantastic position though in a general sense of 84 kinky sex, age five.
The Queen seems to be in a bad spot.
Queen Afri and now back with development doesn't look too encouraging.
Bishop takes Air Force One.
It's got loads of pieces out, common sequence between the pieces somehow and found when you play the
King Cam, you get that very dangerous air phone back, essentially.
Yeah.
Look at the development of Black's pieces.
The ruler on not even out of the box, so to speak.
Queen of six.
We see ninety three.
Bishop see five.
And OK with the rook attacks, we just have ninety five inviting blacks with more material to be super
greeting.
Now here things get absolutely brilliant.
Bishop Desex has played now in the extreme.
If he was playing a modern day computer, the computer would calculate brute force, look at everything
and find the defense.
But the opponent in this game.
Played Bishop takes Jiwon, there is actually a defensive method available, queen takes anyone, Jack
and then Queen here.
This actually saves the day just about Plante's going to be baño, but in the game, Bishop, 61, was
played and now things are very different after E5 Black is in severe trouble.
And we're setting the scene here for a bit of Blade Runner.
If you're a fan of science fiction, Blade Runner had this scene where this chess combination was played.
So Queen takes a one, Cecchini two.
Now we have 96 and blacks in big, big trouble 1967.
Chank King the 8th.
And guess what?
White plaisir.
All checks check all the weaknesses of the last move and the color common squares.
So those two golden ingredients are actually used in this finish in Blade Runner in a way.
We can actually force a witness who also called deflection or kind of movement movil movement of the
defender away from a critical square.
So check checkable checks, though.
You should be able to arrive at it through checking all the checks.
There is one that's super special, which has an aspect of the flexion away from a critical square.
And I hope you find it.
Please do pause the video before we.
I think as long as you want.
It's a great move to try and find.
OK, I'm going to Revealer.
Quidam sex check is offering the queen deflects away from that critical S7 square.
There's not too many choices for black.
The eight squares covered by this night's.
So.
The 19th, but now we have Bishop S7 Chameides.
Yeah, I'd recommend checking out.
I mean, basically, he was like the world champion of the day or Morphy kind of question that, but
both him and morphia certainly worth studying.
These are you know, these guys are kind of unofficial world champions of their time, and they played
some absolutely marvelous, beautiful games that we call like immortal games because they stand the
test of time.
Even in the modern age, people still do loads of YouTube videos about these these games, these are
games, they're absolutely beautiful to behold and they do teach us, you know, the secrets of tactics,
crackerjacks, you know, even the outrageous ones.
Wait and see the last move.
The fractions, the cooperation of places like New Hampshire and the other night have beautiful cooperation
this night, taking out Manscape Square, this amazing, that beautiful construction.
So that's the beauty of chess.
You know, these games even from like 1851, you know, over 100 years ago.
Thankfully, you know, because of the chest flotation, it's not like a football match, we can exactly
record the game.
And just enjoy it generations later, OK?
Hope you enjoyed this example from unoffensive, and this is also a point of view.
