Score
Board 8 of the London Chess Club blindfold display; a Two Knights' Game against Mr. Maude, the other of Morphy's two wins, finished by a neat central breakthrough.
- 5…Na5 The German “Handbuch” recommends this move.
- 23…b6 P. to Q. Kt's 3rd is the correct move.
- 30.e6+ The winning move, and one which forms a very neat and skilful termination to the game.
- 34.Re7 And wins.
