Collector's Corner...On A Timeless Classic
I set up the Fidelity EAG 2100 and locked and loaded the Tarrasch Defense Module
One of the modules features is it has a selection of 40 GM Games featuring the Tarrasch Defense
Game B1 features a well known masterpiece...
In this position with Blacks Queen under attack ...Black plays
[fen]2rr2k1/1b3ppp/pb2p3/1p2P3/1P2BPnq/P1N3P1/1B2Q2P/R4R1K w - - 0 22[/fen]
..Rxc3!!
forcing whites resignation 3 moves later
a beautiful move earning its place in chess history
Can anyone name the player of the Black Pieces??
Masterpieces Never Die Regards

Honesty is way overrated these days..spacious_mind wrote:

the game was dubbed .."Rubenstein's Immortal" game
and here i thought i was providing a subtle hint when i wrote..
Masterpieces never die(hint for Immortal)
sigh..
anyway...
i think its was Kasparov that gave the game its name?
can you look that up also in 17.3 seconds?
Probably Can Regards
Steve

Regarding desert island books. Since I love chess game collection books. Three books I would definitely take with me if I had to be on an Island with only 3 books and chess board only.
500 Master Games of Chess
The Golden Treasury of Chess
Lesser Known Chess Masterpieces 1906-1915
I love these 3 books each game being brilliant.
ps... the Golden Treasury of Chess also has that game #160
Best regards

"The Worlds Greatest Chess Games"
on page 82 he describes the game as "Rubenstein's Immortal win against Rotlewi"
the book was written in 1951 so i guess i cant credit Kasparov for being the first to coin the name
