Morphy's blindfold game against Theodor Lichtenhein, played during the First American Chess Congress, New York, 1857. A King's Gambit that Löwenthal singles out as a splendid blindfold combination, ending in mate.

1. 4…Be7 Staunton recommends here 4. B. to Q's 3rd; 5. P. to Q's 4th, P. to K. Kt's 4th; 6. P. to Q. B's 4th, P. to Q. B's 3rd; 7. B. to Q's 3rd; and considers the game an even one.
2. 13.Qh5 The particular attention of the student is recommended to this, the key move of a splendid combination, carried out by Mr. Morphy with that masterly energy and exactitude which so many of his games in this work exemplify, especially when, as in this instance, he is playing without sight of board or men. A diagram shows the position.
3. 14…Nxf7 Best: for if K. to Q's sq., the loss of the Queen ensues at once; if K. to B's sq., B. to K's 6th (dis. ch.), &c.; and if K. to K's 2nd, White first checks with B. at Kt's 5th, and then with R. at K's sq.
4. 17.Nc3 Beautifully carried through.
5. 18.Rxf6 The position is again so interesting as to be deserving of a diagram, which we give, showing how the forces stood after White's eighteenth move.
6. 20.Rd6 Every move tells.
