Board 3 of the London Chess Club blindfold display; a French Opening against George Walker, the veteran chess writer, ending in perpetual check.
11.Bf4The best move. An examination of the position will prove that Black meditated the capture of K. R's P., with the sacrifice of the Bishop, which might have caused White some trouble. This step, however, on Mr. Morphy's part, at once frustrates any such design.
13.Ne5A fine move, acquiring a good attacking position.
13…Qc8Taking the Knight with either Bishop or Knight would have been exactly what his adversary desired.
14.Bb5All this is admirably played, and considering that White is playing blindfold against such an able opponent, is quite marvellous.
15…Nxe5Selecting the proper course of play, for B. to Q's 2nd would have cramped his game still further; and if R. to Q's 3rd, then P. to K. B's 4th would have given White an excellent game.
26…Qg4+And Black gives perpetual check.
