I just came to know about the story of the great chessmaster Ossip Bernstein about how he was offered to play a game of chess to save his life (details here).

My question is, is that game available anywhere? Can anybody share any links?

    chess.com's article fails to go beyond "rumor has it". It's safe to assume the game was not recorded (if it was actually played at all). https://www.chess.com/article/view/ossip-bernstein – L. Scott Johnson Oct 24 '21 at 17:22

    Does this answer your question? [What is the legend of Ossip Bernstein, who supposedly played chess to save his life?](https://chess.stackexchange.com/questions/33307/what-is-the-legend-of-ossip-bernstein-who-supposedly-played-chess-to-save-his-l) – L. Scott Johnson Oct 24 '21 at 17:23
  • @L.ScottJohnson okay, I see... thanks! – Sayan Dutta Oct 24 '21 at 17:50
  • @L.ScottJohnson I saw that question, but that's not the question I asked. My question was whether the game was available. Your first comment answers it. – Sayan Dutta Oct 24 '21 at 17:51
  • The answer to the linked question (and the source it cites) indicate that the story's documentation never rises above the level of hearsay / secondhand reports. – L. Scott Johnson Oct 25 '21 at 11:45
