Game 221 in Philip W. Sergeant’s Morphy’s Games of Chess (1916), printed pages 280–281. Commentary from this edition; named earlier annotators remain credited in the notes.

1. 16.Nc3 Morphy did his present opponent the honour of adopting his first 15 moves in a game against Anderssen two months later. See Game CCXVI. At this point, however, Morphy played the better continuation 16 Q×BP.
2. 32.d5 If 32 Kt×Bch, R×Kt; 33 P—Q5, Kt—K4; 34 P—B4, Black continues KR—B2!
3. 36…b5 B—K4 was stronger still, for White cannot then win the Knight without losing his Queen.
