An attempt at finding an RHP game to match the Red Knight and the
Black Queen dance of death from the Arthur Bliss Ballet ‘Checkmate.’
An Unheard Melody from the Scotch Game and whilst looking for
another example of the same theme I happened upon a great find.
A scribbled down position in an old notebook and I need some help here
to find the composer. It’s mind-blowing with a wonderful sting at the end.
White to play and draw!
