Score
Board 7 of the London Chess Club blindfold display; a King's Knight's Gambit against Mr. Jones, one of the two games Morphy won before the seance was suspended.
- 11.e5 The attack is now overwhelming.
- 15.Bxe6 It evidently makes very little difference to Mr. Morphy whether he plays with the board and men before him or without them. He almost invariably adopts the best move, no matter how difficult, various, or tempting may be the lines of play open to him.
- 16…Kd7 The interposition of the Queen would have been fatal, since White in reply would have moved P. to Q's 7th (ch.), &c.
- 22.Nc5 And wins.
