Game 220 in Philip W. Sergeant’s Morphy’s Games of Chess (1916), printed pages 279–280. Commentary from this edition; named earlier annotators remain credited in the notes.
- 8…a6 This experimental move, like his Kt—B3 in Game CCXVIII (up to this point the same as this), give Anderssen a decided inferiority. In fact, the text-move loses.
- 10…Kd8 If K—B1, 11 B×P, etc.
