A version of Légal's Mate occurred after 7...Ne5 in a casual game won by Falkbeer at Vienna in 1847. The game was arranged as a display of living chess in Act II of Der Seekadet, a 1876 operetta by Genée and Zell:[6]
- 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 exd4 4.c3 (the Göring Gambit) dxc3 5.Nxc3 d6 6.Bc4 Bg4 7.0-0 Ne5 8.Nxe5 Bxd1 9.Bxf7+ Ke7 10.Nd5# 1–0
