Schulten against Morphy, New York — a Bishop's Gambit met by the defence named after Lichtenhein. Morphy wins the Queen by a neat Rook stroke. Notes by Löwenthal.
- 3…Nf6 This defence has been named after Mr. Lichtenhein, of New York, the first player who adopted it. The German "Handbuch," at this point, notices six other modes of play.
- 14.Kf1 White might have moved K. to Q's sq., for no danger would have resulted from Black's playing B. to Kt's 5th, on account of the reply of Kt. to B's 6th (double check), &c.
- 15.d4 A bad move, but there was no other means of bringing the Q's B. into action.
- 16…Rd8 Winning the Queen. A diagram is given of the situation, which is sufficiently interesting.
- 17…Rd1+ And wins. For if Q. takes R., B. to B's 5th (ch.), wins the Queen.
