The games everyone learns from, as prints. Each page has the story, the move where it turned, the whole game, and the print in four styles.
The Opera Game
Morphy, Paris 1858
Paul Morphy was twenty-one and had come to the Théâtre-Italien for the music. The Duke of Brunswick and Count Isouard had a chessboard in the box. What followed is the most taught attacking game in chess, and it turns out to be a very good print.
The Game of the Century
Byrne vs Fischer, New York 1956
Donald Byrne was one of the strongest players in the United States. Bobby Fischer was in the eighth grade. On move seventeen the boy left his queen to be taken, and twenty-four moves later it was Byrne's king that was mated. The print has eighty-two half-moves on it, and you can see the whole hunt.
