Feb-25-09 F de Castellvi vs N Vinyoles, 1475 
|
Senor Gusanos: This game is a fabrication, although the contestants were real people.
The game is set to the words of a poem,'Scachs d'Amor' the verses add up to 64. The correct date should be nearer the turn of the century, but no later than 6th Nov, 1506 when Castellvi died. |
