Boden against Morphy, London 1858 — a casual Philidor's Defence, and one of Morphy's rare casual losses; Löwenthal praises Boden's finish. Notes by Löwenthal.
19…Nf8This move eventually costs Black a Pawn; he might have played Q. R. to B's sq.
23…Bc6He cannot save his Q's P., except by playing Q. to Q. Kt's sq., which would have given him a bad game.
24…Qxe7If Black had taken with his King, White, in reply, would have taken K. B's P. with Q's Kt., threatening to win the Queen if Black capture Kt. with K.
37.Rhd1This move is quite decisive of the game.
41.Rf1+And wins. The termination is very well played by Mr. Boden.
