Kibitzer's Corner
May-19-06  offramp: Contd from M Fleissig vs Steinitz, 1873:

"Altogether, Blackburne had lost 7 games, Steinitz 2. The committee ordered the tie to be played off in a match of two games up. It needed but two games to secure the coveted prize for Steinitz..."

(This game and Steinitz vs Blackburne, 1873.)

"This record of winning 16 straight games was unparalleled and henceforth - if reluctantly - he was acknowledged the strongest player on the face of the earth."
