The Immortal Game
London, 1851. In a casual game between rounds of a tournament, Adolf Anderssen gave up a bishop, both rooks and his queen, then mated Lionel Kieseritzky with three minor pieces. It was so beautiful that it has been replayed for over a century under a single name. The Immortal Game.

:NOTE
The final blow. With his queen and both rooks gone, Anderssen delivered mate using only a bishop and two knights against an almost untouched black army.
