Game 109 in Philip W. Sergeant’s Morphy’s Games of Chess (1916), printed pages 179–180. Commentary from this edition; named earlier annotators remain credited in the notes. The complete printed score matches the archive through 27.Qf7+. The edition introduces Games 109–116 as the eight blindfold games played at the Café de la Régence, Paris, on September 27, 1858, during the Harrwitz match: six wins and two draws after a ten-hour performance. The announced mate remains source commentary.

1. 9…Be7 Up to this point the players follow Morphy–Harrwitz, 4th game (XLIV). Black’s B—K2 here is better than Harrwitz’s Q—Q2.
2. 12…Qd7 He should have played B—Q2.
3. 13…Rf7 This move is still less justifiable here than it was in the Morphy–Harrwitz game in an all but identical position. 13..Kt—B2 is the correct move.
4. 17.a4 Steinitz suggests that 17 B—B3 or Kt—Q5 was better still.
5. 19…Qc8 Black wishes to recapture with the QP if White plays B×Kt, and also to make room for his Bishop at Q2. But Kt—B2—Q1 was necessary, so as to challenge the exchange of Knight against Knight.
6. 21…Bd7 This loses quickly, but there was no saving move.
7. 22…h6 If R—K1, 23 Q—R5, P—R3; 24 Kt×KtP wins. And if 22..B×Kt, there is a mate in 2.
8. 27.Qf7+ After this White has a forced mate in 2 moves: 27..P—Kt3; 28 Q—R7ch, and 29 Q—R3, mate.
