This is the 2nd game against the same person. Its amazing how its 2 years after the first game and yet Napoleon played almost the same exact moves he used when he played as black 2 years earlier.

This is the third game that he played while he was in exile. Against a different person this time thank god 
wow! Napoleon was a good player. he knew how to go for the King. PS: where's the 4th game?
Wouldn't the 4th game be where he lost to "The Turk" and claimed it was cheating?

The game against the Turk is an ugly game for the great general the whole scholars mate did not work and just put his queen out for attack.

According to Murray's, A History of Chess, even back in 1913:
‘Napoleon was a persistent but a very weak player. Three games purporting to be played by him are in existence. One of these (a Scotch Game) said to have been played in St Helena between Napoleon and Bertrand, and first printed in Capt. Kennedy’s Reminiscences in the Life of Aug. Fitzsnob (Waifs and Strays, 1862), is certainly fictitious. The second game, said to have been played with Mme von Rémusat, 29 March 1804, and a third game (I.L.N., 1844, 352), played against the Automaton in Vienna, are also of very doubtful authenticity.’
The two Mme. von Rémusat games commonly bandied about are simply close versions of the same game with the colors reversed. All of the purported games by Napoléon Bonaparte lack authenticity.
Thats awesome!
The Turk is too strong for the little general.
There are four recorded games of chess played by the great emperor and military general Napoleon Bonaparte. This is the first and earliest recorded game by him :) enjoy a military genius.
