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.

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).
