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.Ne4A deep-laid scheme, which, resulting as was anticipated, gave Black a great advantage in position.
17…Rxf3Finely played.
25…Rxh2+Black prosecutes his attack very spiritedly.
34.Kg1Taking the Knight would have been bad play.
36.Bb8Any other move, and the Bishop must have been lost.
38…Nfg3Black's Knights are worked with admirable skill, and show the strength of these pieces when effectively handled.
41.fxe4He has no other move, for if K. to Kt's 2nd he equally loses the Queen.
