What can this mean?
A thread called 162 Games and the first post is blank?
An intriguing puzzle. The answer is Adolf Anderssen.
2013 (the year it was posted) minus 162 = 1851.
1851 was the year of the first International Chess Tournament and it was
won by Adolf Anderssen.
Here's the Immortal Game:
Next up- 1852!

Maybe not just games. 1854 was the year of the birth Isidor Gunsberg who came close
to winning the World Chamionship in 1891. winning 4, losing 6 and 9 draws
playing against Steinitz who was no longer the great player he was.
Steinitz lost the title to Lasker in 1894.
Wiki reports Gunsberg succesfully sued a newspaper for saying his chess column had blunders!
I like this idea. Where can I get myself a good lawyer.
