The First Modern Chess Game Ever Recorded:- Francisco De Catellvi vs Narcisco Vinoles 1475

Have you ever thought about who, when, and where the First ever modern chess game was played??.

So The first ever modern chess game was played in 1475 in Valencia, Spain played between Francisco De Castellvi who had the white pieces, and Narcisco Vinoles who had the black pieces.

One thing everyone should understand is that this is not The First Ever Chess Game but this is the First Ever Modern Chess Game which means the rules of chess we use today were used at that time and this was the first chess game played using our Modern chess rules. However, some modern rules like Castling were not used.
