Morphy against Anderssen — a second casual King's Knight's Gambit, finished by a combination of brilliancy and soundness.
- 8…a6 At this point in the last game Mr. Anderssen played Kt. to B's 3rd, which, as well as the move now made, allows White to obtain a strong attack. P. to K. R's 3rd is decidedly better than either.
- 10…Kd8 If K. to B's sq., White would have won by 11. B. takes P., followed by B. takes Kt., &c.
- 17.Bxd6 This fine combination is characterized by that union of brilliancy with soundness which forms a distinguishing feature in Mr. Morphy's happiest inspirations.
- 19.Rf7+ And wins.
