NM Dan Heisman selects for you highly instructive games, that will help you improve your game! In this new series, Dan analyzes famous and not-so-famous games that he thinks will give you a tool to get to the next level.

Today's show: Zukertort makes an instructive error in the opening and gives Steinitz the center. Then he delays castling too long and Steinitz creates a central bind. Steinitz then finds a killing pseudo-sacrifice and obtains an overwhelming position. He can win back the material as he pleases but he decides to just exploit his two connected passed central pawns, and Zukertort quickly succumbs.
