Evans. Ordinary, 1858. Morphy (White)—Lowenthal (Black). For notable examples of remarkably-fine games. Editorial source qualification: Printed 4...PtakesP is an impossible pawn capture; the legal and independently archived Evans acceptance is Bxb4, retained as a qualified piece-label error. The printed 1858 heading differs from the canonical 1859 date. Source dating: 123. -EVANS. Ordinary, 1858. MORPHY. (White. ) LOWENTHAL. (Black.) The separate archive date remains unchanged.
- 22.Rb1 The commencement of a wonderful calculation.
- 25.Nxb6+ Very fine.
- 26.Rc7+ A superb termination.
- 31.Kf2 Resigns.
