Hi Monnbus,
I was coming in from the 1800-1860 angle because the lad mentioned
Napoleon and the Napoleon Wars were early 19th century.
Very little is known about the 1700's compared to the 1800's as so few games were recorded.
This is a game with notes from a book knocked together by Bernard, Carlier, Leger and Verdoni.
'Traité Théorique et Pratique du jeu des Echecs, par une Société des Amateurs.'
Publish in 1786 it is a game from amongst themselves or one of them v another opponent.
1. e4 e5 2. c4 {This is not a good move because it weakens the square 'd4'.} 2... Bc5 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Be2 Nc6 5. d3 d6 6. Bg5 O-O 7. Nf3 h6 8. Bxf6 Qxf6 9. Nd5 Qd8 10. O-O Nd4 11. b4 Nxf3+ 12. Bxf3 Bd4 $1 {He fixes a Bishop in your game, which you will not be able to remove.} 13. Rb1 c6 14. Ne3 g6 15. Bg4 f5 16. exf5 gxf5 17. Bh5 Qg5 18. Qf3 Kh7 19. Kh1 a6 {This move is necessary to open the way for his Bishop.} 20. Qh3 f4 21. Ng4 Rg8 22. f3 Be6 23. g3 {Play as you will you lose because you cannot prevent his moving Ra8-f8-f5.} 23... fxg3 24. Qxg3 Raf8 25. Qh3 Rf5 26. Rg1 Bxg1 27. Rxg1 Kh8 $1 {The tyro will observe that if 27...Qxh5?? then 28.Nf6+ and it is White that wins.}
played (or maybe made up) in the 18th century.
