Anderssen, Adolf VS Wyvill, Marmaduke 1851.??.??

Annotations

Game VII. Seventh and last game between Messrs. Anderssen and Wyvill (Fourth Series), won by Anderssen with the White pieces to carry off the first prize of the Tournament. Sicilian Opening.

1. 10…Nd4 He would have done much better, I believe, by playing the Pawn to Q's 5th, and thus forcing the Q. Kt. to retreat.
2. 16.f5 An excellent move.
3. 16…Bxf5 Mr. Wyvill was manifestly unconscious of the object for which White advanced his K. B. P., or he would certainly rather have retreated the Bishop at this moment, though at the cost of a Pawn.
4. 17.Rxf5 This, and the next move of the Queen, are part of the combination begun by P. to K. B's 5th, and form a beautiful corollary to that well-devised sacrifice.
5. 18.Qh5 I believe, from this point, Black's game is utterly irredeemable.
