Morphy against Mongredien — the eighth and final game of their 1859 Paris match, a Philidor's Defence; the victory that won the game and the match.

1. 8…Nec6 Q. Kt. to B's 3rd would have been better, most undoubtedly, but Mr. Mongredien, probably, wished to bring that piece to Q's 2nd, and eventually to K's 4th.
2. 13…f5 Black should first have driven back the Bishop with P. to Q. B's 4th, and then have played on the King's Bishop's Pawn.
3. 17.Nxe7 Obtaining a strong attack.
4. 21…Re4 A grave miscalculation which at once imperils his game.
5. 28.Qf4 A very skilful finishing touch.
