One of my favourite games is an Anderssen game.
One he is reported to have lost!
It has been re-printed over and over again as Adolf Anderssen - Max Lange 1859.
But Edward Winter has very good evidence to show that it was analysis between
Anderssen and Lange from a game between Anderssen and Jean Dufrense round
about 1851 the same time as Dufrense was losing the Evergreen Game.

Adolf Anderssen - Max Lange (analysis) from Adolf Anderssen - Jean Dufresne (1851?)
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 Nd4 4. Nxd4 exd4 5. Bc4 Nf6 6. e5 d5 7. Bb3 Bg4 8. f3 Ne4 9. O-O d3 {White can now avoid the coming brilliant attack with 10 Qe1 and indeed have the beter game. Maybe it was the move played in the actual game and these two were looking at a possible line if White took the Bishop.} 10. fxg4 Bc5+ 11. Kh1 Ng3+ 12. hxg3 Qg5 {Threat. 13...Qh6 mate.} 13. Rf5 h5 {Beautiful, Instructive and inspiring. This game is in Du Mont 200 miniatures it was one of the many games that left it's mark.} 14. gxh5 Qxf5 15. g4 Rxh5+ {15....Qf2 mates quicker but in a very brutal manner. The text is perhaps another indication that this was analysis. But don't let that detract from it's instructive value.} 16. gxh5 Qe4 {That is the key move. Pinning the g-pawn and setting up a wee instructive Queen dance to shuggle into a mating position.} 17. Qf3 {To stop 17...Qh4 mate.} 17... Qh4+ 18. Qh3 Qe1+ 19. Kh2 Bg1+ 20. Kh1 Bf2+ 21. Kh2 Qg1
