 | | MissScarlett: I'm wondering whether he suffered - if that's the word - from mandibular prognathism. That's some chin on him! |
|

 | | Joshka: Can anyone with some authority give an estimate of Anderssen's playing strength? Been going over some of his games, and they don't even seem like 1600 strength?? Any thoughts appreciated! |
|

 | | MissScarlett: Just for the purpose of comparison, at what level do you rate your own play? |

 | | Joshka: <sudoplatov> That's amazing. Would never have believed it. Guess when playing Morphy one turns into a child! Thanks! |

 | | Joshka: Anderssen played most of the opponents Morphy would have played had Morphy continues to play, did he ever give an account of the strength of some of the up and comers that would have played Morphy? Or did he ever just flat out say, Morphy was the strongest I have ever faced? Since Morphy never played Steinitz, Anderssen seems to have the most authority when comparing strengths. |

Jul-17-19 | | Chesgambit: sacrfice explorer search :
Adolf Anderssen
matchs
he played with Morphy
Anderssen died of a heart attack at the age of 60. During World War II, bombing raids on his hometown damaged his grave.

|
Mar-05-20 | | morfishine: I think chessmetrics rated Anderssen at around 2550, give or take a captured Knight or two flung over the shoulder |
|
Mar-05-20
 | | beatgiant: <morfishine>
2744 on the Aug. 1870 chessmetrics list, so you're close if a captured knight or two flung over the shoulder are worth 200 rating points. |
|
Mar-06-20 | | morfishine: Thats an impressive number <beatgiant>! I remember reading an article about 10 years ago that Chessmetrics had Anderssen at 2,550 and Morphy at around 2,720 (They had Alekhine at 2,690) With more data to work with over time and Anderssen's rating being "revised" up to 2,744, where does that leave Morphy? 2,850 or thereabouts? |
|
Nov-21-20 | | offramp: I have just noticed that Anderssen played 100 games in 1851. |
|
Nov-27-20 | | unspiek: Anderssen's surname has a Danish look; does anyone know whether he had such a family background? |
|
Dec-20-20 | | Marcelo Bruno: <unspiek> I remarked that it is true or his ancestors were from North Germany; remember a similar case, although of Lithuanian birth, Arved Heinrichsen (1876-1900). |
|
Jan-02-21 | | Wanda Nida: adolf anderssen won the first major chess tournament and thus he should be world's first official chess champion!!! http://encyclopediasupreme.org/0000...

Jan-03-21 | | WorstPlayerEver: Modern chess history started 1851 in London. The tournament book was one of the first chess books I got. |

Because the source botched White's 11th (11. B Q3rd ?!?!), the game is a reconstruction. I left a couple of alternative variations in, though they should be stripped. Q1- does anybody have another version?
Q2- When was it played?
Q3- Is there a better reconstruction?
The source stated it was played in Colgne as Anderson (sic) returned from the Paris. I assume it was Anderssen returning from the Paris Morphy match - so I put the date as Jan 1859. |

Great found! This game is not included in the Anderssen collections. Hazeltine's Chess Scrap-book v29 give the chess column's from <THE 'SUNDAY DELTA'> (New Orleans) - see: http://www.chessarch.com/excavation... <Unfortunately I can't find Anderssen's game in Scrap-book v29...> A page number would be helpful! ... |

Mar-22-22 | | Polonia: 10/10 how world championships should go:
The Kibitzer's Caféchessgames: adolf anderssen was champion from 1851 to 1868, the lost to steinitz and zukertort does not count and here is why: Any player who draws world champion should be considered as CO-CHAMPION
BUT NOT THE CHAMPION. In reality the lineal world champions should start from
Anderssen, because of the major intnerational tournament he won in London in 1851
where he pretty much destroyed all the competition. 1. Adolf Anderssen 1851 - 1858, 1860 - 1865, 1868 - 1871 (23 years on top)
Won all matches against Zukertort, except for the 1865 and 1871 match,
Steinitz defeated Anderssen in 1866 but Anderssen was not the champ.
Co Champions: Paulson drew Anderessen in 1860 match, 5 to 5, one draw,
Kolisch did it in 1862 match, 3 to 3 with 2 draws.
Anderssen also drew Daniel Harrwitz in 1848 match, 5 to 5, this could
be considered the first world championship match since at least 10 serious games were played!
In 1860 he drew 11 game match vs Harrwitz. In 1861 he won 9 game match vs Harrwitz.
In 1862 he drew 8 game match vs Paulson! In 1864 he also drew Suhle, 3 to 3 with
2 draws. He lost a match in 1865 to Zukertort, regained the title in 1868.
Since 1848 match was very competitive and Anderssen defeated everybody who
met him, he should be considered the best player of his time. 2. Paul Charles Morphy 1858 - 1860 ( technically, in reality: 1857 - 1884 ) 3. Johannes Zukertort 1865 - 1868, 1871 - 1872
In 1866 he played Victor Knorre in a 6 games match, it was drawn 3 to 3. 4/1. Willhelm ( William ) Steinitz 1872 - 1894
(Defeated Zukertort in 1872, the 1866 match should not count against Anderssen,
because at that time Zukertort was stronger from Anderssen, beating him in 1865) 5. Emanuel Lasker 1894 - 1920 (He resigned the title in 1920 |
|
Mar-22-22 | | Polonia: 4/1. Willhelm ( William ) Steinitz 1872 - 1894 (Defeated Zukertort in 1872, the 1866 match should not count against Anderssen, because at that time Zukertort was stronger from Anderssen, beating him in 1865) |
