Jun-11-20  Marcelo Bruno: I didn't understand: here's mentioned this game was played in 1893 and in Grundy's biographical info is written he died in 1891. There must be some mistake.

  An Englishman: Good Evening: Fun final position for fans of retrograde analysis--try to analyze backwards from 10...Ng3+ and figure out how the position arose.
