This match was reproduced in A Book of Historic Board Games, by Damian Gareth Walker.  It shows an example of an attacker victory, where the king has been hemmed in and is unable to escape.  The king's side resigned before the final capture, but when their defeat was inevitable.  See also A Book of Historic Board Games: Defender Win from the same book.
