The fifth game of the final match, won by Anderssen with the White pieces on his way to first prize in the Tournament. Staunton called the finish "a beautiful little combination," and observed that "every move on this side the board is in White's favour."

1. 10.Qh5 This conjunction of the Q. and Kt. portends disaster to the Black King's house.
2. 10…b6 Black's forces are deplorably shut in, and it is therefore most desirable to give them greater scope, but at this instant the danger on the King's side is too imminent to admit of the Queen's Pieces being brought into play.
3. 12…Bb7 Very natural, but, we repeat, there is not time for this development. Every move on this side the board is in White's favour.
4. 13…Qc7 If Q. to K's sq., or Kt. to K. R's sq., White might have replied with Kt. to K's 6th, &c.
5. 20.Re1 Threatening to take off the Kt., and then play R. to K's 7th, &c.
6. 21.Nd5 The beginning of a beautiful little combination. I give a diagram of the Board after White's 21st move.
