As the past week was a relatively quiet one, I'm using the opportunity to present an amazing classical game by Wilhelm Steinitz, played 150 years ago. He faced another absolute top player from those days, Louis Paulsen, and was at his very best shape on that particular day.
Louis Paulsen (1833–1891)
The series of creative positional concepts that Steinitz came up with in the course of just one game, left no doubt about including it in my book Mastering Positional Sacrifices.
