Mr. Thompson against Morphy, New York — the second even-terms Evans's Gambit, in which Black's Knights are worked with admirable skill. Notes by Löwenthal.
- 16.Ne4 A deep-laid scheme, which, resulting as was anticipated, gave Black a great advantage in position.
- 17…Rxf3 Finely played.
- 25…Rxh2+ Black prosecutes his attack very spiritedly.
- 34.Kg1 Taking the Knight would have been bad play.
- 36.Bb8 Any other move, and the Bishop must have been lost.
- 38…Nfg3 Black's Knights are worked with admirable skill, and show the strength of these pieces when effectively handled.
- 41.fxe4 He has no other move, for if K. to Kt's 2nd he equally loses the Queen.
