German electronic band Klangstabil made a computer-voiced song out of the notation of this game.



If anyone knows why they picked this game among millions, please do enlighten us.

It /might/ be included on a DVD by Dr. Helmut Pfleger that they have?

This game is very close to Hanham, James - Steinitz, Wilhelm New York 1894.


Ends with the same mate.

Just read the title of this thread...so I suppose you knew that.

Apparently he won 1st in this tournament, and this was just after he lost his title to Emanuel Lasker. (Source is wiki)

I don't really know why they chose this game, just trying to provide useful information.

Are you saying the game I posted /isn't/ Hanham - Steinitz? I got the notation from chesslive.de after searching for the names.

Which one is the correct notation, then? (and which one does the song follow?)

I dunno which one is the correct version; the game I posted came from the chesslabs database I think. Either way, they're very similar. They both end the same position, though one game ends one move sooner.
