The tenth game, Anderssen's third with 1. P. to Q. R's 3rd, and the second of his two wins in the match. Anderssen played with marked ability and, after a long and richly analysed ending, prevailed.
- 22.Be2 A very good move, as it not only compels Mr. Morphy to retreat his Knight, but gains the requisite time to advance the Q. B's P. and place the Bishop at Q. Kt's 2nd.
- 25.Qc2 Providing against the forward movement of the adversary's Q. Kt's P.
- 27…g5 Too hazardous to be ventured in a match game.
- 36.Bc4 Up to this point Herr Anderssen plays his game with the marked ability which always characterizes his generalship, but here he misses an opportunity of gaining a speedy victory.
