Morphy against Anderssen — the eleventh and final game of their 1858 Paris match, on resigning which Anderssen yielded the match (French Opening).

1. 4.Be3 The student cannot fail to observe that in almost every French Game Mr. Morphy plays his Bishops to their King's and Queen's third squares, and that they appear well placed here, and come into efficient action when called upon. This is an important feature in Morphy's tactics, and will doubtless meet with attention at the hands of writers on the game.
2. 22.Rf3 This Rook is now well posted, and ready for effective co-operation with the rest of the attacking pieces.
3. 23.Rg3 R. to R's 3rd were decidedly inferior; the move made gives White an undeniable superiority in position.
4. 24…f4 This appears the only move to ward off the attack.
5. 29.Kf2 Contemplating the exchange of pieces, and the bringing of the King over to attack the isolated Pawns; the game, however, was an easy one to win.
6. 36.a3 And Mr. Anderssen resigned the game and the match.
