José Raúl Capablanca vs Mir Sultan Khan

From London’s 'Daily Mail' newspaper, Tuesday, April 30th, 1929, page 14 (with descriptive notation changed to algebraic notation):

< CAPABLANCA PLAYS 35 OPPONENTS.

Señor J. R. Capablanca, the former world chess champion, played 35 games simultaneously with members (and their friends) of the Maccabeans' Club—a club composed of Jewish professional men—at the Montefiore Hall, St. John's Wood, N.W., on Sunday. He won 29 of these, drew three, and lost the other three.

The winner of one of these games was M. Sultan Khan, one of the best chess players in India and a member of the staff of Col. the Hon. Nawab Sir Umar Hayat Khan (Councillor of State). The moves in this game were: —

White. Sr. Capablanca. Black. M. Sultan Khan.

1. d4 Nf6
2. c4 e6
3. Nc3 d5
4. Bg5 Be7
5. e3 a6
6. cxd5 exd5
7. Bd3 Be6
8. Nge2 h6
9. Bh4 c5
10. dxc5 Bxc5
11. O-O Nc6
12. Nf4 g5
13. Nxe6 fxe6
14. Bg3 Ke7
15. Rc1 Bd6
16. f4 Qc7
17. Ne2 Ng4
18. Nd4 Nxe3
19. Qe2 gxf4
20. Bh4+ Kd7
21. Qh5 Raf8
22. Qg6 Qb6
23. Qxe6+ Kc7
24. *Qxd5 Nxd5
25. Resigns.

*Queen takes Queen's pawn was an obvious oversight on the part of the ex-world champion—a blunder always possible when so many players are being opposed simultaneously. Without the mistake the game might have been drawn, as Black does not appear to be at any disadvantage.>
