How is this mate possible? Is this possible in real life?

How can someone see this mate without use of computer? Is this some Grandmaster thing? How to think in such a complex way. What makes mind think of such moves. I cannot think of such moves without computer.



Is this possible in real life?
"Tactics flow from a superior position."

-Bobby Fischer
absolutely its far from grandmaster level but tactics like this come up every now and then
No, unfortunately this is impossible in real life
looks like a 2300 to 2400 tactic puzzle... pretty straight forward.
Well as you can see not everyone is the same level as you might be there are lots of stronger players than you I think people can calculate that pretty often and yes it is possible, obviously we can see Magnus Carlsen and all the players from NM and up are capable of calculating.
It's a completely forced sequence and just looking at it you can see that it's tactically very dangerous. In a short time control you could easily miss it, but in a long time control you ought to at least have a look at the queen sacrifice and see if it works.
Not possible in real live.

I wonder who made up this match. He must have a lot of imagination. And then these d fake-names: Adolf Anderssen. If such a strong german chessplayer ever lived, I would know him.
