Budapest, 1934, a simultaneous exhibition against an unknown amateur. You are Esteban Canal, and you have fourteen moves and almost your entire army to give away: both rooks, then the queen — and what's left on the board is one of the cleanest mates ever played. They named it the Peruvian Immortal.
