Legendary game · 1851

Two sacrifices. Five moves. Mate

Mayet vs Anderssen — Berlin 1851 · Spanish Game (C64)

Anderssen

Mayet

Berlin, eighteen fifty-one. Adolf Anderssen — the man who played the Immortal Game — has the black pieces this time. Near the end I'll freeze the board: Black mates by force in five moves, and two of them are sacrifices. Your job is to find the first one.

The board stops before the key move — you'll have to find it yourself.

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15.
