Another classic! This time by the first World Champion: Wilhelm Steinitz with black against Reiner. It was played as part off a match in Vienna (1860). Steinitz won this match with 3-0. ChessGames.com says they were ‘casual games’. Question: how did Steinitz win this game?
I guess this one is not too difficult. Steinitz played:
16. … Qh4!!
But it was not over yet. White answered with:
17. Rg2
How did Steinitz put a definite end to the game?
Again: not very difficult, but I like it very much!
17. … Qxh2+ 18. Rxh2 Rg1#
