Game 238 in Philip W. Sergeant’s Morphy’s Games of Chess (1916), printed pages 294. Commentary from this edition; named earlier annotators remain credited in the notes.
- 6.h3 B—K3 or QKt—Q2 is the usual move. With the omission of P—KR3 on both sides, the opening here was followed in Blackburne–Tchigorin, Nuremberg, 1896.
- 9.Na3 Blackburne here played QKt—Q2. A good line appears to be 9 P—R5, B—R2; 10 B—K3.
