The Oldest Chess Game!

Introduction:

Hello! Welcome back to my blog! Today we'll be talking about the oldest chess game ever recorded! The game is 546 years old as of 2021! It was between Francesco di Castellvi vs Narciso Vinyoles. It was a pretty short game and it started with the Scandinavian defense. This is how it went down.
