Bishop’s Gambit. Kt. to K. B. 3 Defence. Game between Anderssen and Morphy, referred to at p. 127.

1. 8.Ba4 The above moves occurred in a game between Anderssen and Morphy, to which our attention has been called by our esteemed friend and patron Dr. Owen, President of the Philidor Club in Brooklyn. For his 8th move Anderssen (White) played B. to R. 4, which appears to us weak. Morphy won the game in 37 moves, which by desire we give in full. In substitution of Anderssen’s 8th move of B. to R. 4 we should prefer P. to Q. 4, White then we think has a superior game. 8 P. to Q. 4, P. to K. Kt. 4. If Black takes Kt. P. retakes driving Kt. away with a manifest advantage. 9 Kt. to Q. B. 3, Kt. takes Kt.; 10 P. takes Kt. With the better game. See Appendix.
2. 35…Qxc1+ And mate in 2 moves.
