Morphy at the odds of his Queen's Knight against Mr. Worrall — a French Opening which White develops fully before opening active operations on the King's side. Notes by Löwenthal.
- 3…Nc6 This permits White to advance his Q's P. without hindrance, and is consequently a weak move. P. to Q. B's 4th is Black's correct play.
- 19.g4 White, now having all his forces well developed, commences active operations, and continues them ably to the close.
- 24.Nxg6+ The finishing stroke.
