  Sally Simpson: Plot 1.

I wonder if this is the same Rudolf Frauenfelder who along with Max Gschwend fooled the chess world in 1956 by collaborating in this 'draw brilliancy'.

This is the game.

1. e4 e5 2. Bc4 Nc6 3. Qe2 Na5 4. Bxf7+ Kxf7 5. Qh5+ Ke6 6. Qf5+ Kd6 7. d4 Kc6 8. Qxe5 Kb6 9. Na3 a6 10. Qxa5+ Kxa5 11. Nc4+ Kb5 12. a4+ Kxc4 13. Ne2 Bb4+ 14. Kd1 Bc3 15. b3+ Kb4 16. Nxc3 Kxc3 17. Bb2+ Kb4 18. Ba3+ Kc3

Final position of this game.

You will note is a colours reversed copy of Hamppe vs Meitner, 1872

and it appeared in various publications all over the place including BCM March 1957.

In May 1998 Mr Frauenfelders admitted the whole game was a put up job.

Plot 2.

There may be two Rudolf Frauenfelders as
http://chesstempo.com/gamedb/player... have him born 1965.

If there are two then it'd possible this born 1936 Frauenfelder has the games of the born the 1965 Rudolf Frauenfelder.

Plot 3 (the joke)

Henceforth a drawn brilliancy shall be call s 'Giriancy'.
