名人錄 (Who’s Who)

Conrad Woldemar von Ekstädt Vitzthum – Serafino Dubois
Rome, May 18, 1857
Scotch Gambit C44

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 exd4 4. Bc4 Bc5 5. Ng5 Nh6 6. Qh5. A premature attack. 6. ... Qf6 7. f4 d6 8. h3 Kh8/Rf8 9. Kh1/Rf1. Ed. Note: Both players have chosen one of the ways of Castling allowed by the Italian Chess Code. 9. ... Qg6. The right move. 10. Qe2 f5 11. e5 dxe5 12. fxe5 Be7. In order to dislodge the enemy Knight and then develop the Queen’s Bishop. 13. Nf3 Be6 14. Bd3. Black is forced onto the defensive. 14. ... Rad8 15. a3. Lost move. 15. ... Qg3 16. Bd2 Bd5 17. Re1 Ng4. Apparently a well conceived sacrifice. 18. hxg4 fxg4 19. Nh2 Nxe5 20. Rf1 Nf3. Black has such a beautiful game, that he can dare this second sacrifice with the certainty to get an overwhelming compensation. 21. gxf3 gxf3 22. Qf2 Qg2+ 23. Qxg2 fxg2+ 24. Kg1 gxf1=Q+ 25. Nxf1. The lesser of two evils was to take with the Bishop. 25. ... Bh4 26. Bb4 Bf2+ 27. Kh2 Rf4 28. Be7


28. ... Rd6. Black gives up. 0 : 1. This game was played at the Caffè degli Scacchi on May 18, 1857. (Notes by Serafino Dubois, La Rivista degli Scacchi, 1859, page 22).
