Favorite Games

In the course  of  the decades which I have devoted to the

preparation of this volume, I have had occasion to examine

thousands upon thousands of scores. Those that have pleased

me most are included in

  " T H E  GOLDEN  TREASURY OF CHESS."

But even among these favorites, there are some which I have

enjoyed so much that I have set them aside in order to at

tract the reader's attention to these games. I will not deny

that ten years ago I might have selected other games, and

that in the years to come, my tastes will again be modified

Nevertheless, you will be delighted with these games.

THE

  GOLDEN TREASURY OF CHESS

1.  Warsaw, Nov. 1844

As long as we continue to be

charmed by the triumph of mind

over  matter,  such combinations will

fascinate us. The idea of readily

surrendering the Queen in order

to hound the hostile King with the

lesser pieces, has been utilized

  fair

ly often; but Petroff's sacrifice was

one of the  first,  if not THE  first,

example of this appealing com

binative theme. A ll honor to his

orignality

Paris,  1845

/ / is many years since I first saw

this game, but the final position,

with Black's Queen trapped by its

own far-advanced Pawns, and

Whites King gaily advancing

down the board to assist in the

final attack against his colleague,

is still good for a chuckle. Imagne

Kieseritzkys chagrin as he stares

ruefully at the bottled-up Queen

Who says there is no place for hu

mor in

  chess?

3. Paris, Nov. 1846

Poor Kieseritzky He achieved

  neg

ative immortality by losing a mag-

nificent game to the great Anders -

sen, and this feat swallowed up his

reputation forever  after.  That

Kieseritzky was a brilliant and able

player in his own

  right,

  however,  is

abundantly clear from this game.

/ / is difficult to imagne how one

could concentrate more brilliancy,

more inspired inventiveness, more

sparkle into so short a game. Here

is the distilled essence of the very

best chess of the old masters: one

PART II

The Pre Morphy  Period

Although chess is a direct descendant of a game played

in India in the 7th century,  mo ern  chess was not initiated

until the late 15th century— about the year  1485— when  im

portant changes were made in the rules. For a hundred years

before this date the game had remained unchanged, the moves

of the pieces fixed. Although highly popular, it was a dull

game by our standards. The modern chessplayer would re

gard the chess of the middle ages as a strange and wearisome

pastime.

In many respects, of course, the mediaeval game was

similar to the chess we play today. The positions of the

pieces were the same; the Rooks, Knights and Pawns moved

as they move today; Castling had not yet been developed, but

the King was allowed to " leap" two squares on its first move.

The main difference lay in the moves of the Queen and

Bishop. The Queen was permitted to move only to an ad

jacent diagonal square. In other words, it moved like our

Bishop, but only one square at a time Instead of being the

most powerful piece on the board, it was the weakest. The

Bishop of the mediaeval game leaped over the adjacent diag

onal square to the square beyond in the diagonal.

When the moves of the Queen and Bishop were changed

to those we play today, the entire character of the game was

transformed. The old artillery, cavalry and infantry in the

form of Rooks, Knights and Pawns, were still in the game,

but the devastating power of the new dive-bombing Queen

and the speedy attack of the motorized Bishop made it neces

sary for the chess Generals to develop new strategy and tac

tics.  New and more scientific openings had to be examined

and analysed. Pawn play became a primary consideration,

now that a promoted pawn could become a powerful Queen.

The whole tempo of the game was quickened, the battle shor

tened and intensified.

Italy was the main center of chess activity when these

changes took place and the new game probably originated

there.

  By 1510 the old type of chess was obsolete in most of

THE PRE-MORPHY PERIOD

13

Italy  and  Spain. One of  the earliest games  of  the  "new  chess"

to be recorded appears in a late 15th century manuscript in

which a poem describes the courtship of Venus by Mars by

means of a game of chess. Francisco de Castellvi takes the

part  of  Mars, Narciso Vinoles that of Venus. Historically

important, the game is also interesting because it was un

doubtedly played over the board by actual chessplayers of

reasonable proficiency for the period.

Analysis was the ruling motive in the literature of the

period. Openings known today as the Ruy Lopez, Giuoco

Piano, Petroff defense, Philidor Defense, Bishop's Opening

and Queen's Gambit Accepted, were first outlined in a late

15th century manuscript (in the Gottingen University Lib

rary.) *

The first "best-seller" was a book written by Damiano

and printed in Rome in 1512. Eight editions were published

in the 16th Century and it was also translated and published

in French, English and German. All that is known of the

author is that he was an apothecary and a native of Portugal.

To judge from his analysis, he was also a mediocre chess

player.

The famous name of Ruy Lopez first appears in 1559

when this Spanish priest visited Italy and defeated all the

Roman players. Although he did not invent the opening

which bears his name, Ruy Lopez was the leading player of

Spain for over 20 years and noted for his skill at blindfold

chess.  He

  played often at the court of his patron, Philip II

of Spain. In 1561 Lopez published a book on chess containing

a code of laws, general advice to players (including the sug

gestion that you "place your opponent with the sun in his

eyes" ) and a miscellaneous collection of openings. He deals

with a wider range of openings than his predecessors but his

analysis is considered weak. Interesting is the fact that this

book gave international currency to the term " gambit," a

slang term which Lopez had learned in Italy. According to

Lopez, " it is derived from the Italian  g a m b a a leg, and  gam-

b i t a r e  means to set traps, from which a gambit game means

a game of traps and snares."

Among the leading Italian players of the period 1560

to 1630 were Paolo Boi, Giovanni Leonardo da Cutri, Giulio

Cesare Polerio and Gioachino Greco. As a youth, Leonardo

had been trounced by Ruy Lopez in Rome but he had his re-

•The names by which we call openings today usually have little or nothing to

do with their origins and seldom commemorate the names of the earliest author

ities to discover the openings.

THE GOLDEN TREASURY  OF  CHESS

venge

  in 1575

 when

  he visited Spain  and

 defeated

  the  aging

Lopez in a match held in the presence of Philip II.

Although existing text-books

  had

  become obsolete,

  the

strong players of the early part of  this period did not publish

their  findings.  The high stakes  for  which they played made

them secretive. However,  a  patron could always obtain  a

copy of the player's notes on openings for a consideration and

many  of  these manuscripts have survived, particularly those

of Polerio.

The manuscripts

 of

  Polerio, considered

 the

 leading player

of Rome  in 1606, again widen  the range of the openings and

include the  Queen's Gambit Declined  (by 2 . . .  P-QB3 only),

the Fianchetto Defenses,

  the

  Caro-Kann,

  the

  Sicilian, most

of  the  known variations  of the  King's Gambit,  the  Center

Gambit,

 the

 Greco Counter Gambit,

 the Two

 Knights' Defense

and  the  Four Knights' Game. There  are  also some printed

books from this period, including three works published  by

Dr. Alessandro Salvio, one of the leading Neapolitan players.

For his time, Salvio was an analyst of great ability.

Greco was one of the last great Italian players. Although

a  man of  poor parentage  and no education, he made and  left

his mark

 on the

 pages

 of

 chess history. About

 1619 he

 began

 to

keep  a  manuscript collection  of  games  and  gave extracts  to

wealthy patrons.  In the early days of his career  he lived  in

Rome  but  about  1620 he  travelled abroad, sojourning  in

France, England  and  Spain.  In 1624 he  re-arranged  his

collection  of  games  and  many years later,  in 1669, a  French

translation  of  this re-arrangement  was  published  in  Paris.

Forty-one editions have since been published  in  many

languages.

After Greco's death in 1634, Italy produced no outstand

ing players

  for

  over

  a

  hundred years.

  In

  England, France

and Germany, however,  the popularity  of  chess had  steadily

increased and in the 18th century the coffee-houses  of  London

and Paris were  the  leading centers  of  chess activity.  The

name  of  Andre  D.  Philidor dominates  the  history  of  this

period. Equally famous  as a  chessplayer  and as a  musician,

Philidor defeated  all the  strongest players  at the Cafe  de la

Regence  in  Paris  and  Slaughter's Coffee House  in  London.

After  1775 Philidor spent the Spring of  each year  in  London

and the rest of the year in Paris.  The English gentry flocked

to Parsloe's Club

 in

 London where Philidor then played. This

great player

  set

 forth

 his

 theories

 of

 chess

 in

  lucid fashion

  in

his " Analyze du Jeu des Echecs," written when he was only 23

years  old. He was the  first  to  define  and  explain  the  prin

ciples of  chess strategy  and tactics. Since his death in 1795,

his  book has often  been  reprinted.  It was an important  mile*

stone

 in the

 progress

 of

 chess.

In

 the

 time

 of

  Philidor, Italy again produced some gifted

players, including Ponziani,  E. del Rio and G. Lolli. French

contemporaries  of  Philidor before  the  Revolution were Ver-

doni, Leger, Carlier and Bernard.

In  the  first half  of the 19th  century  the  firmament  of

chess  is  studded with many chess stars whose names  are

familiar  to the modern player.  In  England  we  hear  of the

exploits  of J .  K .  Sarratt; William Lewis; John Cochrane;

Captain

  W. D.

  Evans

  (who

  discovered

  his

  gambit

  in 1824,

the same year

  in

  which

  the

 London-Edinburgh postal match

was played, giving  us the  name "Scotch Game" ); William

Lewis  (who  published  his  " Progressive Lessons"  in 1831

and laid  the  foundations  for  much later work  on the  open

ings) ;  Alexander MacDonnell  and the great Howard Staun

ton.

In France,  the  leading players were Alexander  Des-

chapelles; Pierre  de Saint-Amant  (who captained  the  victor

ious French team in the 1831postal match with  London which

gave

  us the

  name " French Defense" );

  De La

  Bourdonnais

(who vanquished MacDonnell

  in the

 match

 of

  1834). Many

notable players also arose in  Central Europe including Johann

Allgaier  (who originated  the  idea  of  tabulating openings  in

an original  and  important treatise, first published  in 1795) ;

Von Bilguer (whose famous "Handbuch"  was  published  in

1843); L. E. Bledow  (who started the magazine  chachzeitung

in  1846) ; B. Horwitz; K. Schorn; von der Lasa; W.  Hanstein

and

  C.

 Mayet. Other masters

 of the

 period were

 the

 Russian

Petroff,  the  Livonian Kieseritzky,  the  Viennese Hampe and

the Hungarians Szen

 and

 Lowefithal.

In  1843  Staunton established himself  as the first player

of Europe by  defeating Saint-Amant  in a match. Staunton's

" Chessplayers Handbook," published

  in 1847,

  became

  the

leading English text-book.  In  this book,  and in the  German

"Handbuch,"  the names  we  now use for  most openings were

systematically arranged.

The year  1851stands out as the beginning  of a new age

in chess.

  It was in

 this year that

 the

 first International Chess

Tournament  was  held.  The  site  was  London  and 16  com

petitors took part  in the main tournament. Adolph Anders-

sen  of  Berlin took first prize.  A  brilliant player, Anderssen

later demonstrated that

  the

  luck

  of the

  pairings

  in

  this

"knock-out" tournament  was not responsible  for his  success.

16

THE

  GOLDEN TREASURY OF CHESS

In subsequent tournaments, the " round-robin" system was

adopted and Anderssen won first prize in 7 of the 12 events

in which he competed.

With the establishment of tournament competition and

the advent of Paul Morphy, the brilliant young American

master who defeated Anderssen and all other European ex

perts, the truly modern era of chess was ushered in. From a

purely technical point of view, the games played in the 350-

odd years from the early beginnings of modern chess to the

19th century are not of vital importance to the present-day

chessplayer. The selections presented in this chapter com

prise a mere handful of historical and representative games

from this long, formative epoch.

If chess has gained much since the passing of this period,

it has also lost much. We have gained a great deal in exper

ience, in theory, in knowledge, in systematic analysis of the

openings, in the assembling of a fine literature and the ex

perience of many great players. And yet there are times

when one wonders whether all these gains compensate for the

disappearance of the spirit of freshness, of eternal adventure,

of naivete.

It is a development which we see present in all the arts

and sciences. Of course, our great contemporary players

have originality and imagination, but they also have a tremen

dous backlog of study and acquired knowledge based on the

heritage of their predecessors. The games of the pre-Morphy

period, whatever their faults may be, are the productions of

players who were self-reliant, who had to find their way

through uncharted country, who had to perform brilliant

feats of improvisation. Remember also, when you play over

these games, that many of them were played for pure amuse

ment, not as part of a gruelling contest and not for the record;

in that way you can savor their charm, their sociable and

leisurely character-

PART III

h

orphy Period

Those who worship Morphy as the great master of the

brilliant combination, must remember that it was he who in

troduced the innovation which proved to be a death-knell of

that type of chess in which brilliancy was the be-all and end-

all of every game.

Before Morphy's influence came to be felt, sacrifices were

made willy-nilly without rhyme or reason, generally with very

little regard for their soundness or objective effectiveness.

Lest this be taken as a harsh criticism of the earlier players,

it must be remembered that the relative absence of organized

competition made for a kind of style which ignored the whole

idea of playing a game in such a way as to make sure of win

ning it.

We realize how radical an innovator Morphy was when

we study his games and see how scrupulously conceived and

executed are his combinations, for all their complexity and

variegated character. It is interesting that while Morphy has

always been admired as the most brilliant of all chess players,

his games are equally notable for the correctness of his moves.

How truly great he was, is seen in the fact that he united

superb sacrificial effects with severe elegance, unfailing good

taste,

  and a very high percentage of accuracy. Yes, he was

a very great artist, for he fused the intuitive with the logical

as only the great artist can. I have offered you what I con

sider the cream of his games and I am sure you will enjoy

them.

^

 Note how quickly Morphy made converts. Steinitz,

Kolisch, Bird, Blackburne and many others were so deeply

impressed by his games that each one, while still retaining his

own individuality, began to reflect the influence of Morphy in

a very marked manner. Another great player, almost as great

as Morphy, and in the opinion of some capable judges even

superior to him, was Adolph Anderssen. It is hard to know

just where to place him. Although he had made his mark

about ten years before Morphy's appearance, Anderssen too,

was famous for the simultaneous brilliancy and accuracy of

his combinations. It therefore seems proper to group these

two immortals in the same section.

The spectators, among them several

very strong players, declared that

after Black's 24th move, White's

game was hopelessly lost. Mac

he had in reality a winning posi

ment of all, by a few brilliant

moves.

PART IV

The

  ge of Steinitz

Few

  masters in the history of chess have been so maligned

as has been Wilhelm Steinitz. To most players he has been

known as "the man who destroyed brilliancy in chess." But

this is simply not true; just play over the twentieth century

games in this volume, and you will readily see that Steinitz's

influence on the game was definitely not pernicious. Re

member also that Steinitz himself was a strikingly brilliant

player, not only as a mettlesome youngster, but even as a

feeble old man. See for example Game No. 173.

Game No. 73 shows us how Steinitz played at the begin

ning of his career. We all know that very shortly thereafter

he experienced a thoroughgoing conversion. At first an en

thusiastic disciple of the attacking school, he became obsessed

with the deeply-rooted carelessness, flashiness and frequent

unsoundness of that school. Equally impressive, but in a

favorable sense, must have been the enchanting combinations

of Morphy, with their natural development, logical prepara

tion and accurate execution. As a man of genius, Steinitz at

once drew the conclusion which was to become clear to

  l ss r

men much later. A pervasive interest in the defense became

his life-time passion; he was fascinated by the idea of refuting

an unsound attack, of demonstrating to the opponent that one

cannot lightly toss away Pawns, not to mention pieces, with

out retribution, that hit-or-miss and helter-skelter attacks

should not be permitted to achieve their goal.

As we know, these theories had a lasting effect on the

chess world. It is common knowledge that all the great mas

ters,

  beginning with Steinitz

 

contemporaries, whether they

have agreed with him or agreed to disagree, have absorbed

the fundamentals of his theories into their own styles. This

is  j u s t  as apparent today as it was in the games of Steinitz's

greatest rivals, such poets of the chessboard as Zukertort,

Tchigorin and Blackburne. The combinations of these mas

ters were not discouraged by Steinitz; on the contrary, their

attacking play was purified and raised to finer artistic levels

by Steinitz's probing and fruitful criticism.

Modern hess

ereabouts we arrive at the era of what is called, oc-

casionally in  rather  a  disdainful tone, "modern chess."  It

is

  the age of the

  great Lasker

  and

  Tarrasch,

  of

  Schlechter

and Maroczy, of the attacking geniuses Pillsbury and Marshall

and  anowskL  As the number of  grandmasters increases, as

it becomes more difficult  to bowl over one's opponent in short

order, we  find that positional chess begins to be pre-eminent;

before  the opponent  can be  finished  off with  a  brilliant com

bination, it is  generally necessary to outplay him positionally,

in order  to  create favorable conditions  for  sacrificial play.

That

  is why

  Emanuel Lasker once wrote:

  "If you

  play well

positionally,  the combinations  will come of  themselves."

While I am fond of the  finest games of all  these masters,

I love above all the  beautiful games  of the immortal Harry

Nelson Pillsbury.  I am sure that the reader, as he plays over

these marvellous games, will share  my  admiration  for  this

immortal, whose beautiful productions,  I am sorry  to say, do

not seem to be adequately appreciated nowadays. During his

lifetime  his  uncanny skill  in  blindfold play  was particularly

admired, and that is why I have carefully assembled the cream

of  his  efforts  in  this field. Happy  the man who plays over

these games  for the  first time And as for  old-timers like

myself,  they will relish  the  opportunity  to  renew their  ac

quaintance with these gracious companions of  their youth

This historic

  game,

  Played in  the

grand manner

  by

  Pillsbury,  created

a

  sensation

  at the

  time.

He  had

  waited eight years

  for the

ff

sweet

  revenge

  that

  now was his.

It  proved  to be the  last flickering

of  his

  genius,

  and the  final  en

counter

  of

  these

  two

  great

  masters.

This game  was  contested by two

Russian officers in Manchuria on

the eve of an assault  in  which the

Captain was

  Lieutenant

Denn was severely wounded in the

same engagement and sent the

score of the game to M. AlaPin,

adding that "the furious  attack  of

the Captain during the battle was

P A R T V I

Moderns, Hypermoderns and Eclectics

Shortly after the turn of the century there appeared a

new group of masters, the outstanding members of this group

being Rubinstein, Nimzovich, Bernstein, Capablanca, Duras,

Tartakower, Spielmann and Vidmar. They not only applied

in their games what they had learned from the reigning gods

of the chessboard, but they also rebelled, as is the way of

youth, and made their own additions and corrections. By the

time the fateful year of 1914 arrived, it had become pretty

clear that Nimzovich and his young countryman Alekhine

were evolving a new school of chess thought, whose effect,

if not always its objective, was to turn the current chess

theories upside down.

During and after the World War, these players were

joined by such masters as Reti, Bogolyubov and Breyer, and

as they garnered one first prize after another, the hyper-

modern theories began to get a respectful hearing in some

quarters. Once the new theories had become respectable and

acceptable, still younger players, such as Euwe, applied them

as a matter of course. About 1927 we see a new tendency to

ward a reconciliation of the old and the new, and our con

temporary crop of masters, among them Flohr, Kashdan,

Fine,

  Reshevsky, Botvinnik and Keres, have the reputation,

despite their disparate styles, of being at home in all kinds of

play, and having few preconceptions and strongly marked

individual styles. It is an age where " anything goes." Each

game is played on its own merits, and every occasion is treated

in whatever way the situation seems to demand; the older

masters were rarely capable of such elasticity and objectivity.

Yates wins over his powerful ad

versary, even more brilliantly than

he did in 1922 at Hastings and

exactly in the same number of

moves; i. e. 52.

218.  Carlsbad Congress, 1923.

Brilliancy Prize: Black's decisive

combination is admirably  calculated.

PART  VII

The

  Period of Russian egemony

For the past twenty odd years, the Russian players have

been dominating the field. The Russian government, acting

as sponsors, promoted a vast program of chess activity, sub

sidized and professionalized its top flight talent. Because no

other country engaged in this practice on a comparable basis,

Soviet victories have been many, and masses of grandmasters

have flourished. Botvinnik, Smyslov, Bronstein, Keres, Geller,

and Tal are only a few of the names.

Under the circumstances, Russian chess has reached a

peak of technical perfection. One feature of this period is

the great emphasis on openings. Hordes of analysts fine-

comb existing ideas extensively and occasionally produce in

teresting innovations.

Chess talent knows no boundaries. In most countries,

however, the talented chessplayers are gainfully employed in

other pursuits. Not so in Russia. For the present we are

living in a period of Russian hegemony.

THE PERIOD

  OF

 RUSSIAN HEGEMONY

179

In the past

  four

  years, age has bowed to youth. On the

international scene, Mikhail Tal, in his early twenties, de

feated

  49

-year-old Mikhail Botvinnik for the chess champion

ship of the world. At home, Bobby Fischer at  7 has annexed

the U. S. Championship ahead of  49-year-old Samuel Resh

evsky. Victory of an American students team at Leningrad

portends the trend of events to come.

310.  United States Championship

New York,

 1956

Dubbed

  the

Game

  of the

Century,

the followng is a  stunning

master

piece  of  combination play  per

formed

  by a boy of 13

  against

  a

formdable opponent.  It  matches

the finest  on  record  in the history

of chess prodiges.
