As I understand it, LaBourdonnais vs. McDonnell was an [b]extremely[/b] famous chess match. Legendary, in fact. For the last 168 years, expert chess enthusiests have thoroughly examined that match. Some of the games of that match were deemed particularly interesting. Game 21 was one of those interesting games.

Records and reviews of famous chess matches are easily obtainable. It seems that it was a matter of finding which famous game resembled “the larger game” between Kai and Prince.
