The Game -Chess Analysis (long)
Someone by the name of “Dr. Ian” found my webpage illustrating [i]4.18 The Game[/i] based on LexxLurker’s notes. This is what he emailed me:
quote:
The game being played is LaBourdonnais (White) vs. McDonnell (Black) played in 1834. It is game 21 of a set of about 85. In the original game, the last two moves were slightly different. Instead of making the pawn in to a queen, LaBourdonnais made it in to a knight to attack the black king. The king then moved out of the way avoiding the check. Then white moved his knight to block his king and possibly attack the other knight, but then black checkmated with the other knight in the same way. It’s fairly obvious that the changes were
simply to do with the characters and the plot of the episode, so they’re really just cosmetic changes. I hope this information is useful.
This will make a good update for my page!
