  MissScarlett: Just another mundane King's Gambit until Black spices things up with <22...Ne5>.

At first, I thought <26...Bb5 27.Rxb5 Nd2> was the point, but <28.Nxd2> covers <f1>; <28.Rf8+> also wins, of course.

So <27...Na3> is the idea but <28. Rb1! Nxb1 29. Rf1 Na3 30. Nxd6> decides.

The <Chess Player> notes at the end that <the game was drawn by exchanging the Rook against Kt. and Pawn; although the whole of the game was masterly played on both sides, yet from this point, White might have won.>

Anderssen seems to have been playing constantly during his time in London in 1851. The story goes that when someone offered to show him the sights, he declined saying he was only here for the chess.
