White: Paul Morphy
Black: Adolf Anderssen
Spanish opening (Ruy López)
1.e4, e5
2.♘f3, ♘c6
3.♝b5, ♘f6
4.d4, ♘xd4
5.♘xd4, exd4
6.e5, c6
This movement of Black is very weak and gives the target the possibility of attacking strongly
7.O-O, cxb5
8.♝g5, .♝e7
It's a much stronger move than taking the horse
The only correct answer. If ... h6, White can play ♚e1 or exf6 and in each case win easily
9.exf6, ♝xf6
gxf6 would have been equally bad, since White's response would have been ♛xd4, winning the game
10.♖e1+,♚f8
11.♝xf6, ♛xf6
12.c3, d5
13.cxd4, ♝e6
14.♘c3, a6
15.♖e5, ♖d8
16.♛b3, ♛e7
17.♖ae1,g5
18.♛d1, ♛f6
19.♖1e3, ♖g8
20.♖xe6
And Black leaves
