" tlie Tlic subjoined beautiful game has been termed It was played in August, 1853, between Prof. evergreen." Adolf Anderssun, one of the greatest chess masters, and M. Jean Dufresne, who is liardly less distinguished as an author and chess player. In the opinion of Dr. Zukertort this game is a finer one than the celebrated game between Anderssen and Kieseril/.ky. Particular attention is invited to White's 19111 move. Pages of analysis have been devoted to the ensuing position, the result being that Anderssen's forecast of the result has been proved correct in every variation.

The following game is justly regarded as one of the finest on record. It may also be considered as " high-water mark" for Zukertort, since it was on the result of this game that he was assured
of
winning
in the International
Chess Congress
of 1883 (London). The decision of the first prize being likely to depend on the game, a very high degree of interest was shown in the result. An unusually large crowd gathered to
witness the contest, and a splendid board and ivory set of This handspecially ma^e for the purpose, were used. and valuable outfit was afterwards presented to Zukertort. The victory also, as anticipated, gave him the first prize in what was probably the greatest tournament ever
men, some
held.
At the conclusion of the game, Blackburne, amid the hearty cheers of the spectators, cordially congratulated his opponent on his grand and successful struggle for the premier prize. i
