In 1851, London held the “Great Exhibition” to showcase British technology and culture. Concurrent with the event, Howard Staunton organized the world’s first international chess event. All of the greatest players of the day were invited. Adolf Anderssen won the event in impressive fashion, but his greatest achievement was a friendly game played in the event. Anderssen’s incredible victory against Kieseritzky has dazzled chess players for more than 150 years.
Lessons:
* Accurate calculation is vital to chess success.
* Exposed pieces (Qh4, Bb5, Nf6) give the opponent tempos in attack.
* Don’t be greedy.
