as an Evan's Gambit, a form of the Giuoco Piano. White's 19th move, Rad1!! is one of the most celebrat- ed in the history of the game. With his reply, ... Qxf3, Black actually wins a knight and threatens mate. You'd think that would be enough! But Anderssen follows with a rook and queen sacrifice that forces checkmate in a shower of brilliant blows. This classic is known as the "Evergreen Game."

3. Paul Morphy vs. Duke Karl & Count Isouard,

Paris, 1858

While in Paris at the opera, the bril- liant, unofficial world champion from New Orleans plays an offhand game against two noblemen. In this case, we're sure it was over before the fat lady sang! In a Philidor Defense, the team of two played a weak 3. … Bg5 that left Morphy with superior development (more of his pieces are deployed) and the bishop pair (two bishops against a bishop and knight). These two important advantages were all Morphy needed. After Black wastes even more time with another pawn move, 9. … b5?, Morphy hits the duo with a series of brilliant sacri- fices to mate. Victory of mind over material is the poetry of chess.

4.Wilhelm Steinitz vs. Kurt von Bardeleben,

Hastings, 1895

Wilhelm Steinitz, the first official world champion, begins this game as a Giuoco Piano. He maneuvers deftly to keep his opponent from castling into safety. Then he sacri- fices his pawn on d5 so that he can make the square available for his knight. But the most brilliant move of the game is 22. Rxe7+. At first glance, it simply looks like a blun- der. All of White's pieces are attacked, and if Black wasn't in check, he could play … Rxc1+ with mate next. But if Black can't take the rook—with either his king or queen—he loses in all variations. And by not taking it, he is eventual- ly mated anyway. If you're interest- ed in these complex lines, you can find a complete explanation of this classic game in many books.

5.AlexanderAlekhine vs. O. Tenner, Cologne,1911

World Champion Alekhine was a chess fanatic (he even named his cat "Chess") and one of the great- est attacking players of all time. Here he plays the unusual Bishop's Opening and seems to be develop- ing quietly. Black even appears to be getting a good game just at the time Alekhine is able to play the swashbuckling 11. Nxe5, allowing Black to capture his queen. Black's king is forced to march to the cen
