  For anyone who is interested in the story behind the name of this game: As said in the video this game was played in 1852 between Anderssen and Dufresne. This game was first analyzed by Howard Staunton in 1853; then by Wilhelm Steinitz, the first world champion, in 1879. Steinitz famously remarked the game and described it as, "an evergreen in the laurel crown of the departed chess hero." A lovely showing of admiration from a world champion. Hence, The Evergreen Game.

  Anderssen was a true gentleman, specially because of his classy behavior and for his admiration for Morphy and the fact that he wasn&apos;t chickening out &nbsp;like &nbsp;Staunton

  I&apos;m fairly sure I know why queen f5 is played at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6AEVCj4-uc&amp;t=1030">17:10</a>. He&apos;s trying to generate a tactic where he captures the pawn on e5 with knight on c6, when the knight on f3 recaptures he can win the knight on e4. This doesn&apos;t work if the queen is on g6 because when whites knight captures on e5 it would attack the queen, so black doesn&apos;t have time to take the e4 knight

  This game is so crazy. He’s sitting in multiple mate in 1s for like 10 moves but just doesn’t care. Great video, my favorite ASMR and chess YouTuber!
