Game 176 in Philip W. Sergeant’s Morphy’s Games of Chess (1916), printed pages 233–234. Commentary from this edition; named earlier annotators remain credited in the notes.
- 4…b5 A move attributed to Bryan.
- 5.Bb3 The capture is better.
- 5…Nf6 Maroczy commends 5…P—QR4; 6 P—QR4, P—Kt5; 7 P—Q3, B—R3; 9 Kt—KB3, Q—B3 as giving Black much the superior game.
