		Steinitz was born lame and grew to barely 5 feet in height.
		Steinitz challenged him to a match and they both agreed that the first person to win ten games would be declared world champion, but that if each won nine games, the title would not be awarded.

		Steinitz came to London in 1862 to represent Austria in a tournament.
		Steinitz later claimed that this was the beginning of his world championship reign even though at the time the match occurred there was no suggestion of any title at stake.
		Steinitz was the first chess player to gain money from his tournament and match victories but he did not make enough to retire comfortably.

		Wilhelm Steinitz, born in Prague on May 17, 1836, was the first official World Champion of chess.
		Steinitz would go on to win against Zukertort, of course, but at the time, there was not the awe of Steinitz that there was of Morphy.
		Steinitz and Zukertort were both virtual unknowns at the time of Morphy's challenge in 1859.

		Wilhelm Steinitz, who later in life Americanized his first name to William, defeated Johann Zukertort in 1886 to become the first World Champion and, quoting Larry Parr, “introduced a new positional style of play.
		Sid Pickard, the editor of The Collected Works of Wilhelm Steinitz, begins the CD with a short introduction, explaining that the “central idea of this project is to let Steinitz speak in his own words.” To that end, like The Steinitz Papers, the CD is filled with Steinitz’s own writings with few editorial comments.
		From Steinitz's own writings and the fruits of extensive first-time-ever research by the author, a fascinating portrayal emerges of the life and genius of a man widely known as the "Bohemian Caesar" quite apart from his chess dominance.

		Steinitz was the first official world chess champion and perhaps the most profound chess thinker of all time.
		By all accounts, Steinitz was a striking figure with short legs, a massive head, powerful shoulders and arms.
		Steinitz had a winning record against many of the best players the game of chess has produced: Pillsbury, Lasker, Chigorin, Zukertort, Blackburne, and Anderssen.

	Wilhelm Steinitz (1836-1900)
		Perhaps Steinitz felt that there were no new vistas to conquer, since he followed his stunning tournament result in Vienna with a self-imposed nine-year hiatus from chess (the only exception was a 7-0 match rout of Blackburne in 1876).
		Let’s quote Steinitz himself: “Black has altogether neglected the principle of rapid development which was one of the maxims of the old school, and he has deferred castling until he has completed his maneuvers to obtain possession of the adverse center with his Knight.
		Steinitz’s articles (where he discussed these things in detail) and his praxis (which demonstrated their strength), created a whole new breed of chess player.

		For the first part of his career, after he became Vienna Chess Champion in 1861-62, Steinitz was no stronger than at least half a dozen of his contemporaries.
		At the Vienna tournament, Steinitz's style became positional, and the resulting transformation was that other players were simply unable to cope.
		Steinitz was the winner with 10 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses, so he became the first World Champion at the age of 49 years.

		"Wilhelm Steinitz was pig-headed." With these laconic words, WM Emanuel Lasker described a real difficult character.
		Steinitz acquired, by his own efforts, fundamentals for positional judgment and for carefully thought out playing schemes.
		Steinitz, who was poor and had to survive with a family as a chess professional answered: "I can renounce glory, but not prize money!"

		As imposing as are Steinitz’s playing credentials, which included an unbroken string of 24 match victories from 1862 until losing a world title match to Emanuel Lasker in 1894 (+5 -10 =4), the Austro-American is more celebrated these days as the founder of a school of chess thinking.
		Steinitz taught that launching King-side attacks out of thin air was unsound in most instances.
		Steinitz’s most productive tournament period was during his decline, and this fact in conjunction with relative inactivity during many of his best years, when he edited chess columns and, later, his wonderful International Chess Magazine (1885 - 1891), has ever so slightly depreciated his reputation as a great master.
