Lionel Kisercki (1806-1853), one of the most prominent chess players of the first half of the 19th century, is remembered in the history of chess for his defeats.
His game with Andersen - when he stopped the resistance on the 23rd move - is known in the annals of chess as the "immortal game". Only "a step lower" in terms of the opulence of the combination and the unusual ending picture is his game with the little-known player Michel. In this game too, it was Kisercki who had to sign the capitulation.

PARIS, 1845.

1. e4 e5 2.f4 ef4 3.Nf3 g5 4.Bc4?! g4 5.Ne5 Qh4+ 6.Kf1 f3
Black was the first to gain the initiative.
7. d4 Nf6 8.Nc3 Bg7 9. g3 Qh3+ 10.Kf2 d6 11.Nxf7 Rf8 12.Ng5 Qg2+ 13.Ke3+ Bh6?
In a superior position, Black is rash. It would have been better to threaten this knight with a pawn, for example, with the previous Ke7. Now the white king travels further to the center, but, surprisingly, he feels quite comfortable there.
14. Kd3 Sc6 15.a3 Lxg5 16.Lxg5 Sxe4?!
Black was unaware of the fact that he had already lost the advantage and with this piece sacrifice he tries to gain material, which he eventually succeeds in. In doing so, he completely forgets about his queen, which gradually loses contact with the other pieces and will eventually find itself in the original cage of his own pawns.
17. De1 Lf5 18.Sxe4 f2 19.De3 Kd7 20.Ld5 Tae8 21.Taf1!!
This is not just a defensive move, but it is already clear that White has foreseen the further course of events, so he is preparing an original cage for the black queen!
21…Bxe4 22.Bxe4 Rf3 23.Qxf3! gf3 24.Bf5+ Re6 25.d5
The point of White's idea! The black queen has no chance to enter the game, so White actually plays further with one more piece.
25…Ne5+ 26.Ke4 h5 27.de6+ Ke8 28.Bf6 h4
The pawn rushes to help his queen, but is one move late.
29. Lxe5 de5 30.Kxe5 hg3
Black threatens Qxf1 or Qxh1 with g2, but White is faster.
Kf6!!
Black surrenders, because after 31…Qxh1 he gets a forced checkmate: 32.Bg6+ Kd8 33. e7+ Kd7 34.e8Q+Kd6 35.Qe6+Kc5 36.b4+Kd4 37.Qe5+ Kc4 38.Bf7. Checkmate
