re:playing a game with a knight handicap - 2005/11/08 00:28
My source is page 45 of A Selection of Games at Chess, Actually Played by Philidor and his Contemporaries by George Walker. Walker gave the name of Philidor`s opponent as the Rev. George Atwood. Walker also commented that with 20 ... Ne7, Atwood "goes headlong to ruin; but nothing could have averted the catastrophe beyond two or three moves."
The book says the game was played on February 7.
