1. 11…Nbd7 Threatening Q. Kt. to Q. B's 4th. He would gain nothing by capturing the K. Kt's Pawn.
2. 15…Qc8 This is poor work for a player of Mr. Anderssen's former force.
3. 19.f4 White has so fine a position, and his antagonist so helpless a one, that these Pawns can be thrown to the front with impunity.
4. 23…Nh5 A fine conception, but the success of which depended on White's playing badly; had he been so accommodating as to take the Kt. at once, Mr. Anderssen would have won a Piece in return, and have improved his position; but this was expecting too much from a player of Morphy's exactitude, and in a Match game.
5. 28.Qf2 White plays the defence so skilfully after winning the Piece, that he soon wrests the attack into his own hands.
6. 29.dxe5 29. Q. B. to K. B's 4th would apparently have won the game much more expeditiously.
7. 32…Rxd1+ Was this compulsory? Why not have played Q. R. to K. Kt's sq.? That would, at least, have kept White uncomfortable for some time longer.
8. 47…Rd6 This termination is extremely well played on both sides.
9. 53.Kh4 And White wins.
