Morphy against Anderssen — a casual game in the Allgaier Gambit.

1. 8…Nxh1 This is Black's best move, in Mr. Morphy's opinion; for if Black play 8. Q. to K's 2nd (ch.), as recommended in the books, White obtains a fine game.
2. 14…d6 We should have preferred playing R. to K's sq.
3. 18…Na6 Black should now have played the Kt. to Kt's 6th; and if White in reply had moved Kt. to Kt's 5th, Black might have moved 19. B. to K's 2nd, remaining with a full equivalent for his lost Queen.
4. 19.Qh5 Mr. Morphy, however, has remarked to us that if White, at his 19th move, had taken the Rook's Pawn with the Queen, the game would have been an even one.
5. 22.Rb1 And wins.
