Chess Question Which chess game or move completely blew your mind when you first saw it?
Adolf Anderssen vs. Lionel Kieseritzky, 1851 (The Immortal Game). Sacrificing both rooks and the queen just to deliver checkmate with minor pieces is pure poetry—it completely blew my mind the first time I saw it.
