A look at a problem from the very first chess column from the year 1813.
A new chess notation I have invented. It will soon be adopted world wide.
A chess coincidence from 1922. Two games being played side by side at Hastings
just happen to reach the exact same position from two different openings. For the
sake of completeness I have put both games here (too perfect for the main Blog)
An RHP game also reach the same position. That is imperfect so it is where it belongs.

Somehow when I copied the games over 0-0 was changed into something else
and it stopped the PGN thingy from working.
