Medley against Morphy, London 1858 — the third casual game, a Ruy Lopez with the Berlin Defence. Morphy develops every piece without delay and decides the game at a stroke. Notes by Löwenthal.

1. 8…Bf5 This is a good move, and secures a speedy development of Black's game. One of the main features of Mr. Morphy's game is, that he never allows a piece to remain long idle.
2. 13…Bd5 If Black had taken the Q. B's P., White would have replied with P. to K's 6th, or K. R. to Q. B's sq.
3. 18…f5 Deciding the game at once.
4. 22.hxg5 R. to K. Kt's 4th looks rather more promising, but in any case the game was beyond redemption.
