chess opening #54142 (5)Steinitz vs Rock (1863) Annotated by darknite13 (1200): Originally annotated by Hicks in 2003. Adding additional notes to show just how beautiful this game really was. It should be pointed out in the original game, Steinitz gave his opponent his rook at the beginning of the game, so the board for white had only 1 rook. Personally, I prefer 3. Bb5 for more of a Ruy Lopez approach, but this is a good alternative and accomplishes the same goal:…Steinitz, Wlihelm (2735) vs. Rock, J. (2000) |
chess opening #837 (41)Exhibition Game (Stalking the Enemy King 101) Annotated by tag1153 (1724): I was playing through some games by Steinitz and ran across this one. In it, Steinitz sacs his queen for a beautiful 6 move forced combination that sends the enemy king right to the morgue. Enjoy:) Italian Game. Evan's Gambit. White cedes material for rapid development. Black leaves the book. 6...d6 was the play. Develops and prevents enemy castling. ? Again, 7...d6 was better. Steinitz…Wilhelm Steinitz vs. Rock (unknown) |
