Albert Einstein unpublished chess game.

In this alleged friendly game between Albert Einstein and Otto Schneider, it’s important to note that Einstein, although renowned for his contributions to physics and mathematics, was not a professional chess player. Nevertheless, he had a keen interest in the game and enjoyed playing it casually with friends and colleagues. The game begins with Otto Schneider, an electrician from New Jersey, as White, and Einstein as Black. Schneider opens the game with 1. e4, to which Einstein responds symmetrically with 1... e5. Schneider continues with the traditional move 2. Nf3, and Einstein mirrors the knight’s development with 2... Nc6. As the game progresses, Einstein introduces a surprising move, 3... f6, which is not commonly seen in high-level chess.
