From the author of the analysis video:

The director Stanley Kubrick was a passionate chess player, so unlike many chess scenes shown in other films, the position and analysis makes sense. The actual game seems to come from Roesch - Schlage, Hamburg 1910, a tournament game between two lesser-known masters.

Kubrick’s father taught him chess at age twelve, and the game remained a lifelong obsession. Eventually, he sought jobs as a freelance photographer, and by graduation, he had sold a photographic series to Look magazine. Kubrick supplemented his income by playing chess “for quarters” in Washington Square Park and various Manhattan chess clubs.
