[Opening "Sicilian: Smith-Morra, Morphy Gambit"]
1. e4 c5 2. d4 cxd4 3. Nf3 Nc6 4. Nxd4 e6 5. Nb5 d6 6. Bf4 e5 { This creates a
serious weakness at d5, which will be exploited by White.} 7. Be3 f5 8. N1c3
f4 {This was Black's basic idea. After the bishop retreats, Black can continue
with rapid development. But Morphy has more aggressive plans.} 9. Nd5 fxe3 10.
Nbc7+ {It is not the rook White is after, but the king! } 10... Kf7 11. Qf3+
Nf6 12. Bc4 {This sets up a nasty discovered check.} 12... Nd4 13. Nxf6+ d5
{What now? White is attacking with four pieces, but each one is under an
immediate threat of capture!} 14. Bxd5+ Kg6 { 14...Ke7 15.Ng8+ Rxg8 16.Qf7+
Kd6 17.O-O-O} 15. Qh5+ Kxf6 16. fxe3 {The importa nt point of this delayed
capture is that it opens up the f- file. Black could have held out a little
longer here with 16...Qe7, but decided to grab some material instead.} 16...
Nxc2+ 17. Ke2 {Now Anderssen realized that capturing the rook would lead to
checkmate, so he resigned.} 1-0
1-0
