	Anderssen's Opening at AllExperts
		Anderssen's Opening is a chess opening defined by the opening move 1.a3 in algebraic chess notation.

		Among the more common Black responses to Anderssen's Opening are 1...d5 which makes a straightforward claim of the center, and 1...g6 which prepares to fianchetto a bishop to point down on White's slightly weakened queenside.

		The Romantics, of whom the greatest was probably Adolf Anderssen, lived and died by the art of combination.
		Anderssen was the first “unofficial” World Champion and was regarded as the strongest player in the world until Paul Morphy dismantled him in a match in 1858.
		Anderssen is a tactical genius, but Morphy declines the sacrifice since Nxd4 leads to the loss of a piece.

		Ignatz Kolisch was born in Bratislava, a town in Slovakia and died in 1889 at Vienna.
		The general consensus seems to be that the games were off-hand and casual; that Anderssen, playing against a weaker opponent, was experimenting; that, since the scores of the games were discovered in Eichborn's belongings after his death, he only kept a record of his wins and not his losses.
		According to the book "Adolf Anderssen" by Hermann von Gottschall the games-scores of the games between Anderssen and Louis Eichborn (who died on May 9 1882, in Breslau) were found in a notebook of the latter.

	Adolf Anderssen vs Paul Morphy (1858)
		Steinitz claims that Anderssen had a stronger move in the game with 33.Qb7 although I dont personally find this to be stronger.
		I like the fact though that it takes Adolf over 70 moves to beat his young rival in the only 2 games he wins of the match.
		Anderssen was almost as brilliant as Morphy and probably knew what Morphy weaknesses were.

		Anderssen indirectly reasserting his claim to be again regarded as the strongest player in Europe in the absence of Paul Morphy.
		Anderssen was too modest to make this assertion but Steinitz clearly realised that Anderssen was the player to beat.
		Instead, Morphy and Anderssen raised the profile of romantic chess to its highest ever level, and the role of the annotator was widely seen as one of praising the king attacker's design, and not criticising it, or even suggesting there existed defensive resources by the opponent.

		In the same year Kolisch played a match with Anderssen for the first 4 games, which was won by the Prussian master by the odd game.
		Now let me tell you that this is exactly the reverse of the truth, and as a matter of fact it was I alone who helped him to enter that tournament after he had completely forfeited his right of entrance according to the rules.
		Morphy, Anderssen and Paulsen had been expected to enter but had not made their appearances a few days before the opening of the Congress.

	Anderssen 1851 - 1858; 1862 - 1866 - Kings of Chess - Chess History - World Chess Network
		Anderssen’s record of 10 firsts, two seconds and two thirds in 16 events, including victories in the three greatest tournaments up through 1870 (London 1851, London 1862, Baden-Baden 1870), was definitively eclipsed only by Emanuel Lasker in the period following 1895.
		Anderssen never had a minus score in a tournament, winning seven first prizes in eight events from 1851 to 1870.
		As a match player, Anderssen gained moderate plaudits for defeating Ignaz Kolisch narrowly in 1861 and Johann Zukertort soundly in 1868, but he earned lasting fame for his upset loss to Steinitz in 1866 (+6 -8) and his crushing undoing by Paul Morphy in 1858 (+2 -7 =3).

		Anderssen was himself decisively defeated in an 1858 match against the American Paul Morphy, after which Morphy was toasted across the chess-playing world as the world chess champion.
		This left Anderssen again as possibly the world's strongest active player, a reputation he reinforced by winning the strong London tournament of 1862.
