Morphy at the odds of his Queen's Knight against Mr. Worrall — a King's Gambit Declined; a well-supported advanced Pawn gives White a decided superiority. Notes by Löwenthal.
- 11.c4 White has now obtained a fine attacking game.
- 17.d6 This advanced Pawn, being well supported, gives White a decided superiority in position, which is augmented by the K. B's raking an important diagonal.
- 18…Nc6 The best move, as White threatened to play P. to Q. Kt's 4th with great effect.
- 25.f5 From this point to the end Mr. Morphy conducts the game with all his usual ability.
