The Famous Opera House Game
Mike Terrill, a founding member of McMinnville Chess Club and the chess club director at Duniway Middle School, recently taught us about the famous Opera House Game.
“It was the best game ever!” — Mike Terrill
This game is one of the most famous in chess history and is often used to teach key concepts like piece development and the value of making clever sacrifices. It was played in an opera house in Paris in 1858 while an opera was performed on stage!
