In the 1851 "immortal game", what was the name of the player who played with the black pieces?

I'll play along. Kieseritzky?

Who made the first move in the Immortal Game, 1851?

I'll play along - Anderssen.

I just looked it up, it appears the immortal game was played on my birthday!

The answer to this riddle is: although he moved first, Anderssen played the black pieces (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immortal_game_%28chess%29). Another riddle is: give the complete name of his opponent!
