Fantastic game! I played all the way through! Wonderfully made!


Beautiful :-)

Also, my first chess game I ever replayed, thirty years ago.


I have posted this on Lichess, if you don't mind

tl;dr a narration of a specific chess game, usually one sentence per move. The board guides the reader to make white's moves. Winning enables a mode that lets the reader perform both white and black's moves of the same match. This plays some opera music throughout the page's lifetime.
