Morphy against M. Mongredien, from the match games — an Evans Gambit.
- 10…O-O The move generally favoured here is B. to K. Kt's 5th.
- 11…Ne5 Sacrificing a Pawn without gaining any equivalent in position; Kt. to Q. R's 4th is the proper play.
- 15…Ba5 As this move loses a clear piece, it was no doubt an oversight.
- 21.Nd6 After this move, winning is an easy matter.
- 21…Qxa1 The game might have been prolonged by Q. to K's 2nd, but its ultimate loss was absolutely unavoidable.
- 22.Qxf7+ And wins.
