Game VII. Seventh and last game between Messrs. Anderssen and Wyvill (Fourth Series), won by Anderssen with the White pieces to carry off the first prize of the Tournament. Sicilian Opening.
10…Nd4He would have done much better, I believe, by playing the Pawn to Q's 5th, and thus forcing the Q. Kt. to retreat.
16.f5An excellent move.
16…Bxf5Mr. Wyvill was manifestly unconscious of the object for which White advanced his K. B. P., or he would certainly rather have retreated the Bishop at this moment, though at the cost of a Pawn.
17.Rxf5This, and the next move of the Queen, are part of the combination begun by P. to K. B's 5th, and form a beautiful corollary to that well-devised sacrifice.
18.Qh5I believe, from this point, Black's game is utterly irredeemable.
