The Polish Immortal is the name given to a famous chess game between Glinksberg and Miguel Najdorf played in Warsaw. Some sources give its date as 1930 or 1935, [ [http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/winter06.html Chess Notes by Edward Winter - note 3615] ] and give the name of the player of the white pieces as "Glucksberg". Garry Kasparov gives the date of the game as 1928, and the name of Najdorf's opponent as "Glinksberg," attributing these facts to Najdorf and his daughter. [Garry Kasparov, "My Great Predecessors, Part IV", Gloucester Publishers, 2004, p. 115.] In this game Black sacrificed all four of his minor pieces.

Unless otherwise specified, notes are based on those by Kasparov in "My Great Predecessors, Part IV".
