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

/ / 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

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
thrill after
another

You have probably heard that An
ders sen was a mghty man wth the
Evans
Gambit,
but it is impossible
to realize what gorious feats he
performed wth it, until you have
played over such games as this one
Incdentally
Zukertort,
the great
Anders sen's brilliant
pupil,
knew
how to take fitting revenge as you
wll see in later games in this
volume These two immortals pro
duced games worthy of ther repu
tation.

There are many attractive settings
for a brilliant game; but what is
more impressive than an immortal
game between
two
Titans?
The
man
who was
able
to
beat
the
great Pillsbury
in
this wonderful
game was truly worthy of his title.
It is no exaggeration to say that
Lasher's combination is one of the
greatest feats
of the
human imag
nation.

One of the marks of a great master
is the ability to conjure up
mur

the way that Spiemann commences
an unexpected attack at move 22
and drives it home wth sledge
hammer blows. Every move

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,

THE PRE-MORPHY PERIOD 15
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.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/the-golden-treasury-of-chess-gnv64pdf 18/194
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
Donnell quietly assured them that
he had in reality a winning posi
tion and proved it to the astonish
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

The manner in which Pillsbury
snapped up the Knight with his
Bishop at the eleventh move, and
his rapid play afterwards, showed
clearly that he saw through the
game to victory.
121. St. Petersburg, 1895-6.
One of Dr. Lasker's finest.
A game of many combinations.

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.

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.

Century,
the followng is a stunning
master
piece of combination play per

by a boy of 13
against
a

the finest on record in the history
