Position after 9...Bxh2+!


The Polish Immortal is the name given to a famous chess game between Glucksberg and Miguel Najdorf. It was once believed that this game was played in Warsaw 1935, but its exact date and time are really unknown as the game had already been published in 1930[1]. In this game Black sacrificed all four of his minor pieces.
