Game 162 in Philip W. Sergeant’s Morphy’s Games of Chess (1916), printed pages 224. Commentary from this edition; named earlier annotators remain credited in the notes. Source footnote: Colonel Charles Dillingham Mead, b. New York, 1814; President New York Chess Club; d. 1876.
- 4…b5 Morphy has now an Evans, with the extra move P—KR3 thrown in for his opponent.
- 7.Nge2 Kt—B3 was the best development to take advantage of his original move.
- 13.Kxe2 Q×B loses a piece after 13…B×Kt; 14 P×B, Q—Kt5ch.
- 17.Bb2 White fears 17 Q×QP, Kt×QBP, with good reason.
- 19.Ke3 Q×QP would be still worse now.
