Hi all,

I don't normally post here but I'm looking for a story which I read about 30
years ago in a collection of short fictional stories about chess. It's about
a grandmaster who has spent his whole career trying to play a game which is
aesthetically perfect, often at the expense of winning. In the story he
finally plays a game in which he applies a perfect checkmate, and the
gamescore is incorporated in the narrative.

If anyone can help, please drop a line to johnpaines at blueyonder.co. uk

Many thanks,
John
