We will remember! 1834 World Chess Championship [Match 5, Game 12]

This is the twelfth game of the fifth 1834 unofficial world chess championship match between Louis-Charles Mahé de La Bourdonnais and Alexander McDonnell.

La Bourdonnais has already won this best of 11 match 6 games to 4. But the way gentlemen rolled back in the day was to play out all of the remaining games regardless, so McDonnell is playing to make the scoreline look a bit better.

McDonnell decides to once more try the Sicilian McDonnell attack, an opening named after himself.

This video was created on Remembrance Day. Please do take a moment to quietly reflect on the sacrifices that others have made for the freedoms that you enjoy today.
