You started it! 1834 World Chess Championship [Match 5, Game 10]

This is the tenth game of the fifth 1834 unofficial world chess championship match between Louis-Charles Mahé de La Bourdonnais and Alexander McDonnell.

La Bourdonnais is leading five games to three, so he is right on the edge of taking the match. McDonnell is up against it.

It is another f4 Sicilian, McDonnell's favourite.
Today's guest commentator is Mr Basil Fawlty, who thinks we probably shouldn't mention the war. Not the Napoleonic War, or any other more... modern war that might be going on right now.

Should probably keep out of it.

Meanwhile, will I be able to name check every single episode of Fawlty Towers?
I'm going to try!
