The Missing Second Game
"Avant leur dixième coup, les Blancs ont laissé leur Dame en prise, ce qui a ôté tout intérêt à cette partie, abandonnée peu de coups après, comme perdue par les Blancs."(1)
Translation: "Before his tenth move, White (Laigle) left his queen en prise, which stole any interest in this game, and was abandoned a few moves later, as lost by White (Laigle)."
