Game 224 in Philip W. Sergeant’s Morphy’s Games of Chess (1916), printed pages 282. Commentary from this edition; named earlier annotators remain credited in the notes.
- 9.Qb3 At this point Löwenthal played the superior 9 Kt—B3 against Morphy (Game XXIV).
- 9…Na5 P×P is better, and if 10 Q×KtP, B—Q4.
- 16.Rxe7+ Maroczy commends B×BP first (precluding the variation mentioned on the 18th move).
- 16…Kxe7 If Q×R, 17 R—K1, B—K3; 18 P—Q5, P×P; 19 Kt—Q4.
- 17…Kf7 K—B3 is better. But 17..K—Q2 or Q3 leads to speedy ruin.
- 18…gxf5 And here Q—B3 is better.
- 19…Qf6 If K—Kt2, 20 Q—Kt4ch and 21 R—K5.
