Table No. 3 of the Café de la Régence blindfold display (Paris, Sept. 1858); a King's Gambit Declined against M. Bornemann.
6…Bxf3Black must take the Knight, for if P. takes P., White replies with B. takes P. (ch.), &c.
12.Nf1This is a good move, for when the Knight is deployed to K's 3rd it may be played either to Q's 5th, or K. B's 5th, with advantage.
13.Ne3To have taken K. B's P. with B. would have been dangerous.
16…Ne8Black could not exchange the Knights without the loss of his King's Pawn.
17.d4Well played, securing an open file for the Queen's Rook and opening the diagonal for his Queen's Bishop to attack the adverse King's position.
21…f5This was a very ill-advised step, and compromises Black's game to a terrible extent.
23.Nb6+Taking due advantage of Black's weak move with the K. B's P.
24.Be6If White had taken the Rook instead, Black would have saved his Queen by R. to K's sq. It is evident that if, on Rook taking Rook, the Queen retake, mate follows in two moves.
26.Kb1All this is astonishingly well played, when we consider that White plays blindfold, and has so many other games on hand at the same time.
29.d5The position which the pieces occupied after White's 29th move forms a good study.
