	Mark Lowery's Exciting World of Chess - Anderssen's Immortal Game & Evergreen Game
		While sacrificing pieces and pawns had been part of the game of chess from its earliest beginnings, the 1800s saw the tactic rise as a prominent weapon in a player's tactical and strategic arsenal with players such as GM Karl Ernst Adolf Anderssen (1818-1879) (often Anderssen, A. in game notations).
		He is best known for the so-called "Immortal Game" in London in 1851 and the well-known so-called "The Evergreen" game in Berlin 1852.
		The two games represent just some of the masterpieces of artistic playing that come along in chess that I mentioned in My Chess Philosophy! The two games are also highly entertaining because of Anderssen's ability to develop the checkmate move...Be7#...in two different games from two different mating patterns and mating nets.

	The Kenilworthian: The Immortal Game and Chess History
		Most chess historians are like scientists bent over their lab tables; they rarely step back to view the larger meaning of their subject or to find ways of communicating their insights to non-specialists.
		The story of this game carries the book from beginning to end and helps to lend it a narrative unity to supplement the conceptual unity created by his overarching motif of chess as multivalent metaphor.
		I would even argue that chess is a board game expression of what the ancient Greeks called "monomachia," a contest of two great warriors (think Achilles and Hector), as opposed to the mass, nameless warfare of the modern world (as found in RISK).

	Chesstories - Check Republics by Sally Feldman - from NEW HUMANIST
		According to David Shenk in his new history The Immortal Game, chess was not only embraced by all the key scientific and philosophical figures of the Enlightenment: it was actually regarded by them as the embodiment of the Age of Reason.
		“Chess was seen as a demonstration of dialectical materialism, the absence of chance rendering it appropriate to the austere tastes of the party leadership,” according to Daniel Johnson, author of White King and Red Queen: A History of Chess During the Cold War.
		“Chess was deemed to be classless, untainted by bourgeois ideology, and hence suitable to teach socialist values to the new proletarian cadres.” And so, Johnson explains, began the unprecedented experiment of incorporating chess into the official culture of the communist revolution.

		This game was later nicknamed "The Immortal Game" in 1855 by the Australian Ernst Falkbeer.
		This game is an excellent demonstration of the style of chess play in the 1800s, where rapid development and attack were considered the most effective way to win, where many gambits and counter-gambits were offered (and not accepting them would be considered slightly ungentlemanly), and where material was often held in contempt.
		These games, with their rapid attacks and counter-attacks, are quite fun to review, even if the some of the moves would no longer be considered the best ones by today's standards.

		Shenk, the author of several other books (none about chess), is not a "chess insider" - he is not a "pro" chess player, he is not a chess historian, he does not write a column about chess, and he does not "hang around" with any of the foregoing.
		Chess afficionados will not learn much new about the game itself, and they will most likely be familiar with the Anderssen-Kieseritzky match already.
		Chess has long associations with war and class hierarchy (Napoleon loved chess; medieval sermons used it to teach social station), but from the start it also acquired brighter meanings, even myths and legends, going to its humanistic quality.

		Shenk, who has also written on health and aging, relates the history of chess from its origins in India and Persia to the development of the modern super-computers that now regularly surpass the skill of grand masters.
		Shenk also lays out the four major schools in chess history: the Romantic (razzle-dazzle surprise tactics), the Scientific (patient positional play), Hypermodernism (rejection of traditional theories, e.g., a refusal to "overburden" the center of the board with pawns) and the New Dynamism (more organic play, going with the flow).
