(NOTE: I did not mean to do this, but it is titled "Anderssen-Kieseritzky, London 1851. It is supposed to be part of the Wikibook "Chess Guide for the Intermediate Player". Please fix this).
This Andersson-Kieseritzky game was played in 1851, and is known as the Immortal Game. It features a few large sacrifices by Anderssen, and he was able to mate with his remaining pieces.
1. e4
The King's Pawn Opening.
1...e5
Black copies White. This is called the Open Game.
2. f4 exf4
This is the King's Gambit. Anderssen gives up a pawn in exchange for rapid development.
3. Bc4
The Bishop's Gambit.
3...Qh4+ 4. Kf1
White has lost castling rights.
4...b5?!
The Bryan Countergambit. This move is not too good.
(I will continue working on this soon!)
