Let's put your acquired knowledge into action. This is a game played between A.Anderssen and J. Dufresne in Berlin, 1852.
Anderssen was regarded as World Champion from 1851 to 1858. This game is one of the most remarkable on record. It is so remarkable that it is known as the 'Evergreen.'
As you can imagine the standard of Chess played is of the most highest. I suggest you get a Chess board out, set it up and 'play' through the moves. This will enable you to put the code you have learnt into practice, and let you think about the moves made by these excellent players. Playing games through, thinking carefully about the moves, is a good way to improve your Chess. It helps you 'get inside' the minds of great players!
The interactive Flash graphic allows you play the game out on the computer screen. It fills in the notation sheet for you as the moves are made - as would be the case in when the game was first played.
