Stories set in wax museums are always spooky and this one has a socko ending.
This story is oddly more like something G K Chesterton might have turned out than an authentic Sherlock Holmes adventure.

 The Stanley Random Chess Files No. 8
The Left Wing Butterfly Defence is not a usual reply, but serve well in this instance to introduce novices to the difficulty of unweighting dark squares in the event of a frozen bishop, as GM Wolfgang Plausch's opponent unfortunately discovered in losing the 31st German Championship of 1884.
It must be removed from the board, since, Austin has chosen to exercise his "Free Defrocked Knight Capture" option (usually allowed only once during the game, with written permission required from the chief adjudicator) on this move in view of the incredible pressure being exerted on his royal pieces.
One needs only think of the deplorable incident with the copper-plated pawns and the nine-volt battery at the 1946 Finnish Nationals, the case of the uncarved bishop at the 1962 World Championships, and the 1934 disqualification of Norwegian grandmaster Ola Nordmann for arriving at a tournament with excessive body-hair.
