🔹 Wilhelm Steinitz
🔹 American-Austrian chess Master
♦️Wilhelm Steinitz was an Austrian and later American chess master, and the first undisputed World Chess Champion, from 1886 to 1894.
He was also a highly influential writer and chess theoretician.
🔸 Country: Kingdom of Bohemia (Austrian Empire) United States
🔸 Born: May 17, 1836 Prague, Kingdom of Bohemia
🔸 Died: August 12, 1900 (aged 64) New York City, New York, United States
🔸 World Champion: 1886–1894 (undisputed; with earlier dates debated)
♦️ Wilhelm Steinitz was the first official World Champion of chess.
♦️He was recognized as the world's leading player, and considered to be the world champion by many, after he defeated the then-acknowledged number one chess player in the world (now that Paul Morphy had retired), Adolf Anderssen, in a match in 1866 which he won by 8-6. However, it was not until his victory in the Steinitz - Zukertort World Championship Match (1886) – where he sat beside a US flag - that he was recognised as the first undisputed world chess champion. He successfully defended his title three times in the Steinitz - Chigorin World Championship Match (1889), the Steinitz - Gunsberg World Championship Match (1890), and in the Steinitz - Chigorin World Championship Rematch (1892). In 1894, Emanuel Lasker won the crown from Steinitz by winning the Lasker - Steinitz World Championship (1894) and retained it by winning the Lasker - Steinitz World Championship Rematch (1896).
Steinitz was an extremely successful match player. Between 1860 and 1897, he played 36 matches, winning every serious match with the exception of his two matches against Lasker. Some of the prominent players of the day that he defeated in match play other than in his world championship matches included Max Lange, Serafino Dubois, Frederic Deacon, Dionisio M Martinez, Joseph Henry Blackburne, Anderssen, Augustus Mongredien, Henry Edward Bird, Johannes Zukertort, George Henry Mackenzie, and Celso Golmayo Zupide.
♦️ A memorable game by Steinitz with nice combination 👇🏼👇🏼

📕 26...e5!
White aims to exploit his space advantage by moves like Na4, Rd2, and Rcd1, with pressure on the b6 and d6 pawns so, Black deliberately weakens the d5-square, in order to transform d4 into a protected square for his knight.
Both 26...Na7 and 26...Ne7 would have been met by 27.Rd2 with the idea of doubling rooks on the d-file.
