White
Mongredien, Augustus
Black
Result
0-1
Mongredien against Morphy — the fifth game of their 1859 Paris match, a King's Bishop's Gambit.
- 5.d3 Kt. to K. B's 3rd would, we think, have been more advisable, as adopted by Anderssen after careful examination.
- 12.a3 This move loses important time, White's correct play were Kt. to K's 5th.
- 18.Rf1 Had White played R. to R's 3rd, Black would have replied with Q. to K. B's 4th, &c.
- 20…Bd6 B. takes P. would have regained the Pawn.
- 22…Nf5 A remarkably accurate move.
- 25.Ne2 Altogether fatal.
