The '''Immortal Game''' in [[chess]] was played during its romantic period, on June 21, 1851 in [[London]], during a break in the first international tournament. Adolf Anderssen defeated Lionel Kieseritzky by sacrificing both rooks, a bishop, and ultimately his queen in order gain positional advantage that facilitated [[checkmate]].

The bold style used in this game was characteristic of that period in chess, and something many today reminisce for a return to. A chess computer program named Houdini adopts the romantic style of bold attacks rather than more defensive play for long-run advantage.
