Game 100 in Philip W. Sergeant’s Morphy’s Games of Chess (1916), printed pages 171–171. Commentary from this edition; named earlier annotators remain credited in the notes. New Orleans blindfold exhibition game of 1858. The exact printed score through its stated mating endpoint matches the archive entry, whose opponent is recorded as NN.

1. 4.d4 According to Steinitz, both this move and 4 Castles are inferior to 4 Kt—Kt5. As a rule, Morphy only uses the text-move in blindfold play or when giving odds.
2. 5…d5 Kt—K4 is a safer continuation.
3. 7…Be7 Morphy now gets another attack similar to the Fegatello. Cp. Game XCVII.
4. 15.Re1+ Bad as this is, Black has nothing better.
5. 19.Qd4+ And mates in 4.
