Morphy–Thompson, New York, 1859, at the odds of the queen's knight. Miscellaneous Games, Game III, Irregular Opening, printed pages 434–436. The book omits the closing moves after 30...Qc6 and asks the reader to find the win; the existing archive continues through 32.Ra1. Every printed mainline move matches that score.

1. 11.Rb1 A move of great importance, preventing the threatened P. to B's 5th and preparing to advance the Pawns on the Queen's side of the board.
2. 13…Nbd5 Had Black played 13. Kt. takes P., White would have replied with 14. Q. to Q's 3rd, winning the piece. 13. P. to Q's 6th also looks promising, but in reality would not have been good, for White would have taken P. with P., and upon Black's retaking with Kt., would have moved B. to B's 3rd, having an excellent game.
3. 15…h5 Apprehending 16. P. to K. Kt's 4th.
4. 17.b4 The commencement of an attack which White retains in his hands to the end.
5. 19…Rxd4 Black's most advantageous play in the circumstances.
6. 30.Qd6 Better than exchanging Queens, and then playing P. to Q's 5th, by which course, however tempting it may seem, White could not have won; and, besides, this move of 30. Q. to Q's 6th, involved a snare into which Black deliberately fell.
7. 30…Qc6 Apparently the best move on the board, and yet it loses the game. We omit the closing moves, and leave the game at this point in order to enable the curious to exercise their ingenuity in solving the above end-game. White to play and force the game. And after a few moves Mr. Thompson resigned.
