La Bourdonnais vs McDonnell, 1834  (D20) Queen's Gambit Accepted, 93 moves, 1/2-1/2 Forget old bishops, but two can't take a knight! Wallenrath vs C Jaenisch, 1850  (C65) Ruy Lopez, Berlin Defense, 54 moves, 1/2-1/2 Three can't, either. W Hanstein vs von der Lasa, 1841  (C64) Ruy Lopez, Classical, 68 moves, 1/2-1/2 Add a pawn, both have a chance, and don't stand a chance!
