Hi
I am looking for this Scotch game: La Bourdonnais vs MacDonnell London 1834
(apparently it is well known? I cannot find it on www.chessgames.com or in any other place or database).
Does anyone know this game & can give me the moves please?
I look forward to helpful reply, thanks & best wishes

OK again, thanks for trying Rybka database.
Anyway I have now found the game scores myself from www.mark-weeks.com
Apparently they both played 2 Scotch games in that event in 1834 (matches no. 2 & 3). These in my ChessBaseLight Premium gives ECO code C44 Ponziani & Scotch gambit classification (These being the Scotch gambit).
