 Is that the date of the Labourdonnais vs Mc Donnell match? When a kid I was a
Mc Donnell fan, because of his famous sacrifice of queen for two minor pieces. I
was constantly infuriated because Mc Donnell lost the series, and imagining
that, some day, some more games would be discovered where the French was
defeated :)
