Wyvill, Marmaduke
Result
1-0
The opening game of the final match, in which Anderssen defeated Wyvill to win the Tournament. Staunton praised White's attack as maintained “with remarkable spirit and ingenuity.”
- 5.Bf4 White prefers doubling a Pawn to losing time by retreating the Bishop.
- 14.Qg4 The attack is now maintained by White with remarkable spirit and ingenuity.
- 17.Bc7 Cleverly conceived.
- 19…Ne6 The loss of a Piece was inevitable. If he had retreated his Q., White would have won by playing P. to K. B's 6th.
- 24.Qg3 Beautifully played all this. That the student may examine this fine end-game, I give a diagram of the position after White's 24th move.
- 26.Qxa8 Finished off in masterly style.
