Notes by Paul Charles Morphy


Marmaduke Wyvill – Serafino Dubois
Odds of the Pawn and Move. Rome, 1846
rnbqkbnr/ppppp1pp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR w KQkq - 0 1

(Remove the Pawn f7).

1. e4 c5 2. Bc4 e6 3. Nc3 Nc6 4. Nf3 Be7 5. d3 a6 6. a4 Bf6 7. Bd2 Nge7 8. Qe2 Nd4 9. Nxd4 Bxd4 10. Nd1 d5 11. Ba2 0-0 12. 0-0 Nc6 13. c3 Bf6 14. f4 Kh8 15. e5 Be7 16. Nf2 b5 17. Bb1 d4 18. Ne4 Bb7 19. axb5 axb5 20. Rxa8 Bxa8 21. Qg4 Qd5 22. Rf3 dxc3 23. Rg3 Rf7 24. Nxc3 Qd7 25. Rh3. Threatening to play d3-d4. 25. ... g6 26. d4 Nxd4 27. Qxg6 Bf8 28. Qd3 c4 29. Qf1


29. ... Nf3+. Black has managed by his last two or three moves to wrench the attack from his adversary’s hands. 30. gxf3 Qxd2 31. Qd1 Bc5+ 32. Kh1 Rg7 33. Rxh7+. It is evident that White cannot play 33. Qxd2. [Ed. Note: Because of 33. ... Rg1 mate]. 33. ... Rxh7 34. Qxd2 Bxf3+ 35. Qg2 Rg7. And Black wins. 0 : 1. This game was played at Rome in 1846. Signor Dubois plays the latter portion, especially, with great elegance. (Paul Charles Morphy, The Chess Monthly, Vol. ii, 1858, page 240).
