the De Legall's mate.

The Legall was a french player, who teached Philidor.

In your game the move 5.Nxe5 is a bad blunder. Black wins with 5...Nxe5.

Chess news:

H Bomb fuse fizzles out -- Hikaru Nakamura’s wonderful run came to an end at the World Chess Team Championships as world number five Levon Aronian managed to overcome the American’s King’s Indian Defence with the aid of a strong novelty in the opening and win the chess match for Armenia.

The most recent championship ended in Bursa, Turkey, last ...
