"The Evergreen Game"
Adolph Anderssen vs. Jean Dufresne

Annotated by tag1153 (1700): Anderssen was one of the strongest players of his era (along with Steinitz and Morphy). In this game, dubbed "the Evergreen" game, he displays the art of the sacrifice no less than THREE times in an attacking combination which is simply historical. Take note of the subtelty of his 19. Rad1, and how it unleashes utter destruction on black's position. This game has it all - a Royal fork, a double…

Evan's gambit accepted
exar (1487) vs. claudiocordeiro (1582)

Annotated by exar (1200): Evan's gambit accepted. This game shows the danger of letting the center of the board be controlled by white. With accurate play, black can come out stronger, but not in this game. The more the end nears, the more complex the game becomes. Pay special attention to moves 17-21. I hope you enjoy. Hoping for 3..Nf6, so white could play 4.Ng5 (Fried liver attack) Ah well, Evan's gambit it is,…

Challenge from alfredjwood
sirmohammad (1200) vs. alfredjwood (2099)

Annotated by alfredjwood (2100): 1. I will annotate this game in the first person, playing Black. The reason is because I expect to give opinions in the notation. 2. As you watch the game, keep in mind that my initial plan with Black is always the same, every game I play: Play the opening as deeply as I know it, and play to wrest the initiative from White. In this game White plays a gambit and gains tempo, he carries a …

1.e4 e5 - fetischists
geezerbloke (1966) vs. mybookrunsdeep (2049)

Annotated by mybookrunsdeep (1431): This game features the Evans Gambit of the Giuoco Piano. I have to say, that defending against these attacks from White is not really my style of play. I prefer more imbalanced positions like the Sicilian. However, this game does have a very instructive motif, don't go pawn grabbing if your position is going to suffer. In fact here, my strong opponent grabs the c-pawn and soon sees his…

Anderssen vs. Dufresne: How early did he see it?
Anderssen vs. Dufresne

Annotated by ralbama1 (1959): Adolf Anderssen, notorious for the Immortal Game, works over Jean Dufresne in Berlin in 1852 in the Evergreen Game. Someone has probably already annotated (and probably better), but I like this game even better than Anderssen's Immortal Game in 1851. The Evans Gambit, sacrifice for stronger development and fierce attack on the center. Dufresne accepts the gambit, and takes the pawn with…

The Evergreen Game
Anderssen vs. Dufresne

Annotated by dariustheking (1217): Today let me show you another masterpiece by the German Master Adolf Aderssen. This game was played between Anderssen and Dufresne in Berlin in 1852. The game was so enteraning and full of beautiful sacrifices that the first World Champion, Wilhelm Steinitz later identified this game as being "evergreen in Anderssen's laurel wreath". Since then this game has become famous in the history of chess…

The Evergreen Game
Anderssen vs. Dufresne

Annotated by whizzkid111 (1200): Here is another one of Adolf Anderssen's "friendly" games was immortalized when Willhelm Steinitz, the 1st official World Champion, dubbed it. "The Evergreen Game went as follows.... 1.e4 is the most common first move for white This move develops a piece and at the same time threatens the e5 pawn. Black develops a piece and at the same time supports the e5 pawn This move…
