Morphy at the odds of Pawn and move against Mr. Stanley at New York — a game of their odds match in which an exposed White Queen lets Morphy conduct a relentless attack. Notes by Löwenthal.
- 3.e5 We have previously noted Q. to R's 5th (ch.) as the correct move here. (See p. 130, Morphy v. Alter.)
- 12.Qh5+ P. to Q. Kt's 4th would, we believe, have been better play.
- 15.Qxe6+ Gaining a temporary advantage at the expense of valuable time.
- 19…Bd6 The White Queen is so much exposed, that Black has an easy task in maintaining the attack:—
- 22…c5 Correctly played. The Knight must retreat, and Black is then enabled to make the meditated sacrifice.
