Morphy against Judge A. B. Meek, Mobile 1855 — a King's Knight's Gambit. After the regular book moves Morphy introduces a line quite new to Löwenthal, and terminates the game beautifully. Notes by Löwenthal.
10.Qd2The regular moves, commended by authors generally, are adopted up to this point by both players, but here Mr. Morphy introduces a line of play which is quite new to us, and one that has the appearance of being as effective as it is original.
12.Bxf7+A good move, but it strikes us that the following line of play would have been even more efficacious— 12. Q. to B's 4th, R. to B's sq. (best); 13. R. takes R's P., P. to Q's 4th; 14. B. takes P., Q. to Q's 3rd; 15. B. takes Kt. (ch.), K. to Q's sq.; 16. Q. takes Q. (ch.), P. takes Q.; 17. P. to Kt's 6th, winning.
17.Nd5Beautifully terminated. We give a diagram of the position after Black's 16th move.
