Student against teacher

Zukertort developed as a player in Breslau under the influence of Anderssen, the city's celebrated master. Their 1866 match belonged to those student years and ended with Zukertort ahead by one point.

All four scores survive, but their exact dates and rounds do not. The archive therefore preserves the source sequence without inventing a calendar chronology.
