Short story research for an old player

I last played chess in 1990 but have been facinated with the game since reading about it in the 2nd Alice book at a young age. I'd like someone to help me create a very short game with the following considerations:
*I need to know the correct way to address the movement of the pieces
*the game can not last more than 20-30 moves
*I need to know the correct term for the draw motion of knocking over the piece
If you can help please write. I'd be glad for any help and/or input.

I'd love to help...You want the actual moves to a short game? Look up what I regard as one of the greatest games ever played, between Wilhelm Steinitz and Curt von Bardeleben. It is short, of course.

EDIT:

That was not of much help. I have written two short stories incorporating chess. In the first, I 'adressed the movement of the pieces' through standard chess notation, which was a bit stupid of me. In the second, I had parentheticals describing in words what was actually happening. However, the best storytelling I have seen with chess is Arturo Perez-Reverte's "The FLanders Panel". He merely used periodical pictures of the board. As to knocking over pieces, this is generally only done when one is resigning a game. To do this, the king is tipped (with a sad flourish).

Thanks so much for the reply! 🙂
If either of you have access to IM send me a note and I'd value any input you can give. Unfortunatly much as I'd love to use the match you suggested as a model it'd probably not match what I'd be looking for. Cya next time 😉

I sent you a game, if you'd like to play and talk, it's your move. 🙂

Who's the other person you referred to?

I thought the edit within your note was written by another person? 😕
Thanks for any input you can give about a real short, short game. Perferbably one beginning with The Black King on one side and ending with a standoff between two main pieces.

When I said 'I sent you a game', I meant 'I challenged you to one so we can chat'. Sorry if I confused you...🙁

So if I go under the ghame and post a question we'd be able to talk in real time? Sorry if I sound like such a ditz😳 I'm still learning what this computer of mine can do. If you have access to AOL IM I could give you my sn if that would help? 😀

my favorite movie containing a chess scene is the Thomas Crown Affair, the 1960's movie starring Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway ( but not the 1990's remake with Renee Russo and ? ).
