Morphy giving the odds of his Queen's Rook against an amateur — a Two Bishops' (Bishop's) Opening. From his 12th move Morphy plays a capital series of moves. Notes by Löwenthal.
- 3…exd4 The correct move is B. takes P.
- 12.Nxh7 From this point a capital series of moves is played by Mr. Morphy.
- 15.Nf3 All this deserves the student's best attention.
- 15…Qe8 If the Queen had taken the K's P., White would have had a forcible reply in B. takes Kt., &c.
- 22…Kg8 The utmost accuracy pervades the whole of White's combination, which is of a very high order.
