A chess game between the Soviet grandmaster David Bronstein and the Polish International Master Bogdan Śliwa in 1957 in Gotha is referred to as the "Immortal Losing Game" - an allusion to the more famous Immortal Game between Adolf Anderssen and Lionel Kieseritzky. It is so called because Bronstein, in a completely lost position, set a series of elegant traps in an attempt to swindle a victory from a lost game, although Śliwa deftly avoided Bronstein's traps and won.
