Re:unknown chess match - 2007/02/05 00:34
I mean steinitz he is a player who beat the best GMs>>Anderrsen, zukertort, chigorin etc..
here's some about him:
Wilhelm Steinitz was born in Prague, Czechoslovakia. He learned chess at the age of 12; unable to afford a board and men, he made his own. He went to Vienna as a young man and first attempted to earn a living as a journalist before dedicating his vocation to chess. He held the first official world championship from 1886-94, it was the 25 year old Lasker who eventually de-throned him. He earned a living as a chess pro in London, then the Mecca of the chess world, before emigrating to America where he died in poverty.
and he's style:
The antithesis of the romantic era of chess, the Steinitz-style is the forerunner of modern positional play. This personality is quite at home in the closed game with barricaded pawn structures, and will even move its king in the opening to gain material.
Hope this is not too a dumb question...
no, it is'nt.. sorry for my bad language
