Morphy against Anderssen — a second casual King's Knight's Gambit, finished by a combination of brilliancy and soundness.
8…a6At this point in the last game Mr. Anderssen played Kt. to B's 3rd, which, as well as the move now made, allows White to obtain a strong attack. P. to K. R's 3rd is decidedly better than either.
10…Kd8If K. to B's sq., White would have won by 11. B. takes P., followed by B. takes Kt., &c.
17.Bxd6This fine combination is characterized by that union of brilliancy with soundness which forms a distinguishing feature in Mr. Morphy's happiest inspirations.
19.Rf7+And wins.
