That was fun!!! It reminded me of the program - I don’t remember if it was Battle Chess or what the title was - with the live medieval video cutscenes during the captures.

The game in this animation, according to the side notes, was Roesch-Schlage (Hamburg, 1910).

The game looked a lot longer in the video, to me. :smiley: On second thought, I think the video might have actually played out the last three moves to mate with the Knight - not covered in this score. I don’t have time to look at the second right now, time to go to work. But thanks for posting it - that was enjoyable!
