Played at Paris in 1858, Mr. Morphy conducting the White pieces against M. Chamouillet and his allies in the French Opening. Morphy builds a powerful King's-side attack and finishes with a forced mate.
- 15…Nf6 Kt. to K. Kt's 2nd appears a stronger move.
- 18.Ne2 This Knight now promises to exert great influence.
- 19…Nh7 A weak move; but White's game is already far superior to Black's.
- 20.Nxe6 The correct move; but one the consequences of which it would seem the allies had altogether overlooked.
- 22.Rxg6+ The decisive coup.
- 23.Qxh5 Remarkably accurate, considering the circumstances under which the game was conducted.
- 24…Ree7 Had Black taken Kt. with Kt., White would have easily won by Q. to K. R's 6th (ch.), &c.
- 26.Rg8+ And mates in three moves.
