jan 6, 1857 - The Evergreen Game (1852)

Description:

The Evergreen Game is a famous chess game won by Adolf Anderssen against Jean Dufresne in 1852.

The game has been extensively analysed over the years, particularly the critical positions before and after White's remarkable 19th move, Rad1. Although defensive resources for Black have since been found, Anderssen's combination remains much admired.

It was Steinitz who gave this game its name when he described it as "an evergreen in the laurel crown of the departed chess hero."
