Adolf Anderssen
Karl Ernst Adolf Anderssen (July 6, 1818 – March 13, 1879)"Anderssen, Adolf" in '' The New Encyclopædia Britannica''. Chicago: Encyclopædia Britannica Inc., 15th edn., 1992, Vol. 1, p. 385. was a German chess master. He won the great international tournaments of 1851 and 1862, but lost matches to Paul Morphy in 1858, and to Wilhelm Steinitz in 1866. Accordingly, he is generally regarded as having been the world's leading chess player from 1851 to 1858, and leading active player from 1862 to 1866, although the title of World Chess Champion did not yet exist. Anderssen became the most successful tournament player in Europe, winning over half the events he entered, including the very strong Baden-Baden 1870 chess tournament. He achieved most of these successes when he was over the age of 50. Anderssen is famous today for his brilliant sacrificial attacking play, particularly in the " Immortal Game" (1851) and the " Evergreen Game" (1852). He was an important figure in the dev ...

Anderssen's Opening is not commonly played, and is an irregular opening. The move is classified under the A00 code in the ''Encyclopaedia of Chess Openings''. Anderssen's Opening is also the very first opening enumerated in the ''Oxford Companion to Chess index of 1327 openings, due to a systematic ordering which begins at White's left-hand and proceeds to White's right-hand . Themes Anderssen's Opening does little in the way of development or control of the center, and is rather more of a waiting move. However some players may enjoy the psychological value of such a move, or believe it will help them against an opponent ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
