Apr-10-04  InspiredByMorphy: Morphy brings his queen rook into an active winning combination with haste playing 22.Rb6 followed by 23.Rg6 24.Rg2 shows the pressure Anderssen was feeling, allowing an obvious pin winning the exchange.
Jan-10-06  morpstau: No its not a pin but a skewer and one in which the german professor overlooked. I think the kings gambit should never be played agaisnt Morphy on ant occasion! By the way whats with 4.e5? that deserves undoubtly a fat question mark as black gains the iniuative and never looks back to score the victory.
Apr-28-06  midknightblue: hello I am studying this game now from chapter 8 of the nice book - "A first book of Morphy"

Feb-25-11  Llawdogg: This game was one of six casual games played after the Match was over just for fun while they waited three hours for the official photograph to be taken.
Sep-22-11  Llawdogg: 36 Kf2 Qg1 37 Ke2 Qe1# is the conclusion.
