  Lionel Kieseritzky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lionel Adalbert Bagration Felix Kieseritzky (born January 1, 1806 in Dorpat (Tartu), Estonia - died May 18, 1853, in Paris, France) was a 19th century chess master, famous primarily for a game he lost against Adolf Anderssen, which was so brilliant it was named "The Immortal Game".

Kieseritzky was never a popular man owing to his narcissistic character - considering himself the "Chess Messiah" - and in 1853 he died following a bout of mental illness.

In the first, called the Immortal Game, as white against Lionel Kieseritzky in 1851, he sacrified a bishop, both rooks and finally his queen.
In the second played in Berlin, in the year 1852, as white against Jean Dufresne, the total sacrifice was more modest, but still exceeded a queen and a minor piece.
