The Game of the Century

Byrne vs. Fischer · 1956

Bobby Fischer was thirteen years old. With his seventeenth move he offered his queen to Donald Byrne — a positional sacrifice no master of the era would have considered. Byrne accepted and lost a forced sequence ending in mate twenty-three moves later. Hans Kmoch published the game in Chess Review under a headline that named it for all time. The position shown is after 17... Be6 — the move Kmoch called "a masterpiece of conception, a glittering monument of artistry."
