▪️Wilhelm Steinitz
▪️ American-Austrian chess Master
♦️ Wilhelm Steinitz was an Austrian-American chess player, first undisputed World Champion. Steinitz became a world number 1 and the World Champion due to his sharp, attacking style. Later on, he became more of a positional player and proved that his new style was far superior to the previous one. Today we will analyze 10 of the his most notable games.
🔹 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)
♦️ Tournaments Of Steinitz👇🏼👇🏼
Steinitz was more adept at winning matches than tournaments in his early years, a factor, which alongside his prolonged absences from competition chess after 1873, may have prevented more widespread recognition of his dominance of chess as world champion until the first “official” world championship match in 1886. Nevertheless, between 1859 and his death in 1900, the only tournament in which he did not win prize money was his final tournament in London in 1899. His wins include the Vienna Championship of 1861 which he won with 30/31 and earned him the nickname the “Austrian Morphy”, the London Championship of 1862, Dublin 1865 (equal first with George Alcock MacDonnell), London 1872, equal first at Vienna 1873 and 1882 (the latter was the strongest tournament to that time, and Steinitz had just returned from 9 years of absence from tournament chess), and first in the New York Championship of 1894. Other successes include 3rd and 2nd at the Vienna Championships of 1859 and 1860 respectively, 2nd at Dundee in 1867, 3rd in Paris in 1867, 2nd in Baden Baden in 1870, 2nd in London in 1883, 5th at the Hastings super tournament in 1895, 2nd at the sextuple round robin St Petersburg quadrangular tournament behind Lasker and ahead of Harry Nelson Pillsbury and Mikhail Chigorin, 6th at Nuremburg in 1896, and 4th at Vienna in 1898.
