Monk is getting sucked deeper into ChessMaster 9000. He went to the Library Room, and enjoyed watching the 1619 Rome game, in which Gioachino Greco (white) gets his King-side Rook pinned to the corner in the first two moves by a Bishop that sailed from the opposite end like an intercontinental missile, and who then lost his Queen a few moves later trying to stir havoc on the oppenents back lines, but who then goes on to checkmate his opponent on his eighth move with a Bishop - ah, 'twas but a Queen sacrifice! It is easy to see why this game became one for the ages. It is the first one recorded in this library. There are many, many more games, heh.

Checking Wikipedia, I see that this might not have been a game but a pedagogical construction. But, as it is not certain, I prefer to maintain the romance.
