The first game on RHP I could find is Game 95681 going
one game less Game 95680 gives an `Invalid Game ID`

Game 95681 is a Halloween Gambit. White was losing then winning till here.



White did not play Qxa8 because of Ba6 but White could then play h3 or h4.
and the Queen should pick up a few pawns and outplay the Rook and Bishop.

Thanks Geoff.
I bet Russ has game 1 in an archive somewhere.
I don't suppose the 17 millionth game will be a true representation of games played because a lot will never have got past move 3

Game 32 is the lowest number I could find, the game however is ot nearly as interesting as the one you found 😉

Game 1 would almost certainly be a 'does this thing work' test game, probably me vs me, very uninteresting, and long deleted. Sorry!

Will reach 20 million by the time that game is over. Probably should make a move. It has been 3 months 😄
