Score
Philidor’s Defence. Ordinary Game. Bird (White)—Morphy (Black).
- 6.Ng3 K. Kt. takes K. P. is the proper move.
- 9.Nh5 Weak, P. to K. B. 3, would be good.
- 11.g4 Bad move.
- 17…Rxf2 Beautifully conceived.
- 25.Kc2 Carelessly played. White might with care now have drawn the game.
- 29…Qb1+ Resigns.
