Kennicott against Morphy, New York 1857 — a casual Scotch Gambit. Notes by Löwenthal.
- 5.Ng5 This is far from being an effective mode of proceeding with the attack, and is decidedly inferior to Castling.
- 9…d6 P. to Q's 4th, the invention of Schumoff and Cochrane, and for which see "Chess Player's Chronicle," vol. ii. p. 215, is now deemed the correct defence.
- 10.Qb5 Heydebrand gives 10. P. to Q. R's 3rd, and then makes White play 11. Q. to Q's 3rd, and considers the game even.
- 15.f5 White has now a strong attack, and no little care is required to parry it effectually.
- 19…Qe3+ Finishing the game in the best and speediest manner.
