At the beginning of the game, you may select one of sixteen of the world’s greatest chess games by pressing 2nd, then OPTIONS, to display GAME, and then pressing the +NEXT or -SETUP key to select a game number.

Along with the game number, you will see the position of the game after the first two moves were played. Press the CLEAR key to return to normal play starting at move three. You take the winning side. The display will show your

total great-game score in two digits (zero at the start) on the left. On the right, the display also shows the amount of points you will win if you play the correct next great-game move. If you don’t play the correct great-game move, an error buzz will sound and the points for this move will be divided in half. If the bonus goes to zero, the correct move will automatically flash. Most moves start with 4 bonus points, but some brilliant moves start with 8 points. The number, players, loca- tions, and dates of the great games are given below, along with a brief explanation of each game. (All game explanations are © 2000 by Al Lawrence; all rights reserved.)

This marvelous attacking game, a King's Gambit, is widely known as "The Immortal Game." Both players show the19th-century preference for attack at all costs, and Anderssen was one of the most ingenious attackers of all time. After 18. Bd6, he gives away both of his rooks and his queen! In the final position, his tiny force is deployed in just the right way to bring the complete Black army to its knees.

2.AdolfAnderssen vs. J. Dufresne, Berlin, 1852

8 zling his opponent. The game starts
