The 1st Candidates Brilliancy - Best of the pre-1900s - Weiss vs. Pollock, 1889

The New York 1889 tournament effectively became the first Candidates tournament as the winner gained the right to challenge World Chess Champion, Wilhelm Steinitz, for his crown. Max Weiss was one of the two winners, but he lost this game, a brilliancy prize victory by Irish Champion, William Pollock.

tbh this is one of the best game I've ever seen this should be considered as the best game since he calculated all of this Its all unexpected

I think it was a good choice to do a top 15 for a century. Sparser historical records and less polished play would make it quite difficult I would assume.
Edit: a new favourite of mine! Very glad I got to see it!

Wow, so glad I was able to see this game for the first time

Thanks Sam. I've never seen that one.

That finish reminds me a lot of Liren vs Jinshi. What an amazing game, and if this is #15, I can't wait to see what's after

Great game and great presentation. I watched you cover a few games (Korchnoi Udovcic and I think Bagirov Gufeld) some years ago and now I think I’ll watch the rest :D. Thanks!
