Game 63 in Philip W. Sergeant’s Morphy’s Games of Chess (1916), printed pages 129–130. Commentary from this edition; named earlier annotators remain credited in the notes. Fourth game of the 1859 Mongredien match.
- 6.d3 A move favoured by Morphy. See Games LXXIV, CXX, CC, and especially the early notes on the first game.
- 7…Bg4 P—K5 is much stronger.
- 9…Bd6 If now P—K5, 10 Q—K2 gives White the better game, according to Steinitz.
