The Opera Game: A Chess Story

I wrote a short story to 'illustrate' (in a manner of speaking) Morphy's famous opera game.

Basically, I set a short description of the game in the time of the French revolution, depicting a fictionalized assault on an opera house by revolutionaries.

I hope you all enjoy it! What other game should I make one of these on?
Actually, I've gotta admit that was pretty funny. Nice & droll (and I usually find chess takeoffs and spoofs annoying at best). The only thing I would consider omitting is the phrase "the greatest among us" (I thought it seemed a bit out of step with the overall tone).

How about trying the Immortal Zugzwang Game next? :D
It was very good I liked the lines the behind voices and when pieces were killed they just made a noises which was very interesting to hear and I agree to @MrPushwood you should try the Immortal Zugzwang Game next
That was a fun way to look at the game. Lol.
I looked at a game a while back referred to as "The Usurper" game. A lot of sacrifices in this game could make for a harrowing story!
