Kipping against Morphy, Birmingham 1858 — the first of two casual Evans Gambits. Notes by Löwenthal.

1. 12…Nh5 A good move, opening the file for the advance of the King's Bishop's Pawn, and bringing the Knight to a square whence he can be played with effect either to Kt's 6th or B's 5th.
2. 14.Na3 It was probably Black's intention to have taken P. with P., and then have played Kt. to Q. B's 5th, to cut off the Bishop that commands so important a diagonal. The move in the text frustrates Black's scheme, if it were entertained.
3. 19…Bc5 Correctly played, and the only move to save the piece.
4. 21.Qg5 Taking Kt. with B. seems to us a better move.
5. 24…Rf7 Mr. Morphy brings his usual accuracy to bear at this juncture, his mode of play averting all the danger threatened by White's playing Q. Kt. to Q's 4th.
6. 27.Qg6 An excellent move.
7. 28.Qg3 The following interesting variations will suffice to shew, that at this point of the game, White might have obtained a better chance by sacrificing the exchange.
