Table No. 8 of the Café de la Régence blindfold display (Paris, Sept. 1858); a Philidor's Defence against M. Seguin, won by Morphy's remarkable endgame accuracy.
- 4.Nxd4 An analysis of this move, in extenso, by Mr. Löwenthal will be found in the January number of the "Chess Monthly" for 1858.
- 23.Bf2 Not only to enable him to push on the B's P., but also to bring the K's R. to attack the adverse Q. B's P.
- 44.Kc6 This game does not, on the whole, exhibit such numerous points of interest as many of the foregoing, contested on the same occasion; but is yet worth studying, as Mr. Morphy's accuracy is most remarkable, and without that winning would have been no easy task.
