Naughty Bishops. English & Spanish. If white accepts the Queen sacrifice he is checkmated by force, can You believe It?. What is so special about this game?. Wherein lies the fascination? Is It the startling sacrifice of the Queen? Is is the amusing forced march of the King? Is It the deft interplay of the Bishops as they take turns checking the King into mate? Or Is It the skillful blending of all this elements that make this game enchanting? You be the judge. Los alfiles traviesos. ¿Puedes creer que en esta posición si blanco acepta el sacrificio de la Dama recibe un mate forzado? En que es tan especial este juego? ¿En qué radica su fascinación? Será en el sorprendente sacrificio de la Dama? ¿Será por la curiosa marcha forzada del rey blanco? O será la manera en que los alfiles se toman turnos para patear al rey? O será la mezcla de todos estos elementos que hacen este juego encantador? Juzguen ustedes. Montreal. 1895.

Somewhere back in the day someone did post on how to embed diagrams within posts, but I am afraid I have forgotten the explanation. You would just have to trawl through all the old forums (fora ?!) to find it ...

As for the game, I believe it was played in New York, not Montreal. The winner was Saloman A Langleben, a talented amateur who once drew with Steinitz in a simultaneous display!
