The Evergreen Game is a famous chess game played in Berlin in 1852 between Adolf Anderssen and Jean Dufresne. Adolf Anderssen was one of the strongest players of his time, and was considered by many to be the world champion after winning the London 1851 tournament. Jean Dufresne, a popular author of chess books, was considered a master of lesser but still considerable skill. This was an informal game. Wilhelm Steinitz later described the game as the "evergreen in Anderssen's laurel wreath", giving this game its name.|1,4,9,0,aimage.png,B,3,4,9,0,blank.png,B||||||||||||||Guico Piano (or Italian Game).|7,5,9,0,aimage.png,B,4,2,9,0,blank.png,B||The Evans Gambit, a popular opening in the 19th century and still seen occasionally today.
