No comment. I just wanted to do the chess Captcha.
Super interesting. I love historical stuff like this. Thanks for sharing!
How interesting. . .
i LOVE the kings gambit
Is there anywhere an English translation of the book or parts of it online?
The game does not fit the discription in the screenshot.

1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Nf3 g5 4. h4 g4 5. Ne5 h5 6. Bc4 Nh6 7. d4 d6 8. Nd3 f3 9. gxf3 Be7.
