From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The immortal losing game was a famous chess game played between Soviet Grandmaster David Bronstein and Polish International Master Bogdan Śliwa in 1957 in Gotha, Germany. Named in allusion to the celebrated immortal game played 106 years thither, the game saw Śliwa, playing with the white pieces, earn the exchange and a winning position by the sixteenth move and thereafter avoid a series of elegant traps set by Bronstein in an effort to swindle a win or draw.
