Score
Game 229 in Philip W. Sergeant’s Morphy’s Games of Chess (1916), printed pages 286. Commentary from this edition; named earlier annotators remain credited in the notes.
- 6…Nf6 A very inferior continuation, as Morphy shows at once.
- 8…f6 If Kt—K2, 9 P—KR3, Kt—R3; 10 Q—Q2, etc.
- 9…Nxf6 P×P is better.
