Levitsky versus Marshall is a famous game of chess played by Stepan Levitsky and Frank Marshall. It was played in Breslau (now Wrocław) on July 20, 1912, during the master's tournament of the DSB Congress. Frank Marshall wins by making a Queen sacrifice (the most famous move in his career). Legend has it that after Marshall's winning last move of the game, gold coins were tossed onto the board by spectators, although this is contested by other accounts. The game is also known as "American Beauty".
