As Brancas jogam e dão xeque-mate em 2 lances!
(White to play and give checkmate in 2 moves!)
Entre junho e outubro de 1834, Louis de la Bourdonnais (da França) e Alexander McDonnell (da Irlanda) disputaram 6 matches (um total de 85 jogos), no Westminster Chess Club, em Londres, capital da Inglaterra. Os jogos foram registrados para a posteridade pelo fundador do clube William Greenwood Walker. Como Louis de la Bourdonnais não falava nada de inglês, e Alexander McDonnell não falava nada de francês, a única palavra que eles trocaram durante seus encontros históricos foi "xeque!". O xadrez é mesmo uma linguagem universal...
