First Game of the Steinitz-Zukertort Match
This is a sample of how Wilhelm Steinitz covered the First World Championship and is presented for your enjoyment from The Collected Works of Wilhelm Steinitz. The Introduction to the Steinitz-Zukertort match will give you a taste of the excitement in the atmosphere at the beginning of the first world championship match. The game itself is richly annotated by Steinitz and shows why he is considered the world's greatest chess instructor. This extract features just one of hundreds of games (850+) annotated by the man who was the idol of Bobby Fischer and revolutionized chess into what it is today.

Odds Match by Wilhelm Steinitz
Read Steinitz's account of the match between the City of London Chess Club and the Bermondsey Chess Club. Steinitz on board 1 captained a strong team which included Zukertort, Blackburne, Bird and other "top guns". On the other hand, each member of the London Club had to give Knight odds! Steinitz annotates his game very deeply - a sample of what you'll see on our new Steinitz CD!

Fischer Random
"Fischer Random in 1875" looks at the game Blackburne-Potter, London 1875 - interesting because the Bishops and Knights changed places! Did Fischer know about this precedent? Probably not, but the game is nicely annotated by Wilhelm Steinitz, and remains a pleasure to look at today.

WS-AA_66  [pgn]  This well-known match between Steinitz and Anderssen in 1866 is considered the first (unofficial) world chess championship, and displays fighting chess at its best. We all have heard of this match, but when was the last time you actually saw the games?

WS-4_Qh4  [pgn]  Here is every known game in which Steinitz played the variation that bears his name! Each game begins 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 exd4 4.Nxd4 Qh4, and nobody played this line better! A great companion to our Scotch 4...Qh4 monograph. Click here for more information.
