Game 133 in Philip W. Sergeant’s Morphy’s Games of Chess (1916), printed pages 198–199. Commentary from this edition; named earlier annotators remain credited in the notes. The complete printed score matches the archive through 33.Rf1+, “and wins.” The edition introduces Games 133–136 as the charity blindfold exhibition at the Academy of Music, Philadelphia, on November 11, 1859.
- 4…Be7 The defence now resembles the Hungarian, but is not even so good.
