The second of the two Queen's-Knight-odds games between Morphy and Lichtenhein, again an Evans's Gambit. Black endeavours to vary the defence, but a Rook sacrifice on the 14th move launches a winning attack.
7…d6The usual move at this stage is to take P. with P., and then, should White retake, to play P. to Q's 3rd. Having the advantage of a piece, Black endeavours to vary the defence.
11…Be6In another game between the same combatants, at the same odds, Black here played 11. P. to K. B's 3rd, which is a much better move than the one in the text.
14.Rxd7A sound sacrifice, which leads to a very strong attack. From this point to the end the contest is animated and interesting.
18.Rd7+No play could now save Black's game.
19…Qxe5The position is peculiar; Black has two pieces more than his antagonist, but White has a forced won game.
