A famous game, which I'm betting some of you have seen before. Nonetheless a fun one, thought I'd at least mention it.

I was looking at this game on a podcast not a week ago, and I still couldn't get the first move.  Thought it looked familiar. ;)

And a game that (at least allegedly) never took place (it was invented by somebody or other).

I heard that too, but I figured whether it really existed or not wasn't that important anyway. It's a good puzzle regardless. Laughing

I found it, but I played Qb7 before doing a4.

Very good puzzle!

Qa4 loses to that, unfortunately...
