Shortly after it was played, Kieseritzky published the game in La RĂ©gence, a French chess journal which he helped to edit. In 1855, Ernst Falkbeer published an analysis of the game, describing it for the first time with its namesake "immortal".
"The Immortal Game" printed below is considered by many experts to be the greatest example on record of brilliant chess play. Chess is primarily a game of strategy. It is a fight, in which victory is not always to the big battalions. Play this game over. Note how Anderssen sacrifices piece after piece, each time strengthening his position, until his opponent is in a "mating net" from which there is no escape. This is the essence of chess. An accumulation of positional advantages.
