Adolf Anderssen - William (Wilhelm) Steinitz. The 1866 chess world championship match, played in London between Wilhelm Steinitz and Adolf Anderssen, is widely regarded as the first recognized world championship contest in chess. Steinitz defeated Anderssen by 8 wins to 6, establishing himself as the strongest player of the era. The match was historically significant because it marked the beginning of Steinitz’s dominance and signaled a shift from the aggressive Romantic style of play toward the more positional and strategic approach that shaped modern chess.
