Game 173 in Philip W. Sergeant’s Morphy’s Games of Chess (1916), printed pages 231–232. Commentary from this edition; named earlier annotators remain credited in the notes. The source dates this game New York, 1857; the archive dates it 1858.
- 9.d5 Cp. Games CXXVI, CXCI, CCXII, CCXXXII, and CCXXXIII.
- 9…Nce7 Inferior to Kt—R4.
- 10.e5 The same strong move which he played in Games CXXVI, CCXII, and CCXXXIII. The best reply is Kt—Kt3, as played by Morphy’s opponents in those games.
- 11.h3 B—Kt2 appears to be better.
- 15…c6 Kt—Kt3, followed by Q—B3, is much stronger.
