For the last few days i have been trying to get a more or less complete list of all completly documented chess games before the year 1600. So far i did come up with this:
Abu-Bakr Muhammed Ben Yahya as-Suli vs Abu’l- Faraj bin al-Muzaffar bin Sa’-id ~ 920
Anyway, as you can see there is a pretty big gap between the year 920 and the famous "Scachs d'amor" from 1475 (wich is known for being the first documented chess game with the modern queen moves)
i would be more than happy if people who know more about this topic than me could try and fill in the gaps.
Tygxc: I am talking about the actual way the game was written down back then. Not a 2023 version of that using algebraic notation that did not exist back then (nor descriptive notation either IIRC). I mean a photo/image of what was actually used to record the game 500-600 years ago.
