Schulten against Morphy, New York — a King's Bishop's Gambit in which White's weak 7. K. Kt. to K's 2nd lets Morphy seize the initiative and conduct a fine attack to mate. Notes by Löwenthal.
- 7.Nge2 A weak move; Kt. to B's 3rd is the correct play.
- 7…f3 Taking immediate advantage of his opponent's error.
- 19.Kd2 The forces have now assumed the position represented in the diagram, and from this point Mr. Morphy continues the game with much ingenuity.
- 19…Rxc6 An admirable link in the chain of combination.
