Good find, thank you. That looks to be one I attempted with "pawn and move." Tbh I'm inclined just to delete it and forget about it. I have been following the "pawn and move" saga and what to do about it at cg.com for a long time, and it seems there is no way for us to do it? So refer it to (long suffering) <Stephen> or just delete it and forget about it? What would you do brah.. maybe it in the Bistro to see if <MissScarlett> knows how to fix it yet. |

(In SCID you generate this by having the to-move king "capture" to opposite colored king. I think that's the de facto standard - but I haven't checked lately other gui's) |

<Z> thank you, but your fix only allows our pgn4web to play it, attendant with gigantic red warning letters ordering viewers to switch to pgn4web: F Amelung vs G Schneehagen, 1856 |

<Stony> lol I always interpreted any game with null moves to be an "odds" game- but I suppose in a narrower sense it is not. By all means change the tag to another option. I have no dog in this one (copying z who has been telling us recently he "has no dog" here and there around cg.com)... |

<StoneHedgeFund> On a rare serious note, now neither of these games F Amelung vs Von Helmersen, 1858 , F Amelung vs Kaufmann Seeck, 1859 carries the gigantic red warning letters ordering viewers to switch to pgn4web any more. These "-- move" games from the <Schachblatter> were all fixed by <Stephen> to have the giant red warning letters. They did at one point, but not now. Possibly subsequent fixings have erased <Stephen's> original fix. At any rate, both invisible games now shine like silver turds in the sun (Python)... What to do with them..... |

<z> sidebar.... Have you considered actually "getting a dog"?
I don't have one, but I routinely borrow my brother's dog. FINE ANIMAL. |

Hmm.. It appears that while the red letter pgn switch instructions are now missing, at least these two can still be played through on pgn4web: F Amelung vs Von Helmersen, 1858 , F Amelung vs Kaufmann Seeck, 1859 |

| | Stonehenge: <On a rare serious note, now neither of these games F Amelung vs Von Helmersen, 1858 , F Amelung vs Kaufmann Seeck, 1859 carries the gigantic red warning letters ordering viewers to switch to pgn4web any more.> I was thinking of making a note in the PGN: <if you can't see the bloody game, switch to sodding pgn4web and be silent. Bugger off!> But I guess the note won't show either. |

By remarkable coincidence, I was thinking exactly the same thing. The new <if you can't see the bloody game, switch to sodding pgn4web and be silent. Bugger off!> instruction has my vote. This science documentary will help explain:

<Cibator> lol well chosen brah! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrX...
When I noticed that your video was uploaded by "VenemousNewfie" I thought "oh Canadian" and then I remembered my friend Pat from back east. He told me that a large number of Newfies consider themselves NEWFY FIRST and Canadian second, if at all... Pat was prone to pound on my door in the middle of the night after a "night out" and insist we walk down south to the best all-night hot dog "restaurant" in Montreal. I put "restaurant" in quotations because it didn't in the slightest resemble a restaurant. It did, however, resemble a workhouse. I never went there without thinking of Dickens.... "Are there no all-night hot dog restaurants?!" Pat insisted on walking everywhere even if the destination was a ridiculously long distance away. Worse, he would not permit me to violate this rule. So I'd be off into the night with Pat, and I'd say "What about I pay for a cab" and then have to endure the inevitable "ARE YOU MADE OF MONEY YOU LAZY ( word not allowed on our website, but it does in fact appear in the video you linked)" I have long suspected <Stonehenge> is a Newfoundlander. I bet he even knows how to pronounce it properly. Hint- it's not pronounced the way you might think. More important hint- don't be pronouncing "Newfoundland" the wrong way in "Newfoundland..." |

I'm also reminded of notorious Scottish-Canadian emigre <Stephen Leacock>, who fashioned a ripping career in Canada as a "humorist." My favorite of his bon mots was "If the Scotch people could stop drinking Scotch whiskey, they could save up enough money to leave Scotland..." |

Very good.
One of the YT comments: <I want this at the end of my funeral!> Not bad, but I want this at the <beginning> of my funeral. Let's save this one for Christmas: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bqf.... <Jess>, I'll stick to Newlyfoundland, to be pronounced in a silly voice with the emphasis on the <y>. |

Yes we need to turn to <Fry and Laurie> for a dose of plain common sense from public school graduates! Great! Super!
