A
school teacher, later professor of mathematics, Adolph Anderssen
had to fit this now-historic match into the Christmas holidays. In
some cases, two games were played in one day. This game and many
others in the series gives lie to the myth that Anderssen was interested only in attacks
on the King. Here he answers a sharp assault on the
Sicilian (repeated by Fischer more than a century later) with equal
energy. The result is a violent game miniature by the great Paul Morphy in
just seventeen moves. |
