New Deadlock Hero Solomon's Reload Animations Reference Real Chess Matches

Valve's upcoming Deadlock added the chess grandmaster hero Solomon in its recent "City Never Sleeps" update, alongside five other heroes. Each time Solomon reloads, the pieces on his board rearrange into a layout based on his remaining ammo count, with every position taken from an actual historical game. Fans have picked up on the detail, which references matches including the 1851 "Immortal Game" and Deep Blue's 1996 win over Garry Kasparov.
