[Event "USA-01 Congress Grand Tournament"] [Site "New York 1/8 finals"] [Date "1857.??.??"] [Round "6"] [White "L. Paulsen"] [Black "Morphy"] [Result "0-1"] {Annotations by Chessmaster: Grandmaster Edition Auto-Annotator. 10 seconds per move.} 1. e4 {B00 King's Pawn Opening. The King's Pawn opening move is both popular and logical. It controls the center, opens lines for both the Queen and the Bishop, and usually leads to an open game in which tactics, rather than slow maneuvering, predominates.} 1... e5 {C20 King's Pawn Game. Black responds symmetrically, making a direct challenge to the central squares.} 2. Nc3 {C27 Vienna Game. The Vienna Game offers transpositions to the King's Gambit depending on Black's response, but is somewhat indirect.} 2... Nc6 {C27 Vienna Game.} 3. Nf3 {C27 Vienna Game.} 3... Bc5 {C46 Three Knights Game. Black responds to 3. Nc3, a tame move, with Bc5, the Three Knights Game, in which White gains the initiative with a tactical finesse.} 4. Bb5 {Out of Opening Book. Nxe5 would have been in the Three Knights Game book opening. Clears the way for a kingside castle.} 4... Nf6 {C60 Ruy Lopez (Spanish) / Berlin Defense (transposed).} 5. O-O {C60 Ruy Lopez (Spanish) / Berlin Defense.} 5... O-O {C48 Four Knights Opening / Spanish Classical Defense.} 6. Nxe5 {C48 Four Knights Opening / Spanish Classical Defense.} 6... Re8 {Out of Opening Book. Nxe5 would have been in the Four Knights Opening / Spanish Classical Defense book opening. } 7. Nxc6 {Attacks Black's queen and blocks Black's pawn at c7.} 7... dxc6 {Protects Black's queen and attacks White's bishop at b5. White wins a knight and a pawn for a knight.

Rxe4 {Removes the threat on Black's bishop at c5. Black wins a knight and a pawn for a knight. Material is even.} 11. Bf3 {Frees White's pawn at f2 from the pin and attacks Black's rook at e4.} 11...

Rae8 {Frees the pin on Black's pawn at c6.} 17. Qa6 {Attacks Black's queen and blocks Black's pawn at a7.} 17... Qxf3 {Blocks White's pawn at f2.} 18. gxf3 { White wins a queen for a bishop.} 18... Rg6+ {Checks White's king.} 19. Kh1 {Forced. Moves it out of check.} 19... Bh3 {Threatens White's rook at f1 and blocks White's pawn at h2.} 20. Rd1 {White steps into the forced mate. Much better is Qd3. Rd1 leads to 20...Bg2+ 21.Kg1 Bxf3+ 22.Kf1 Bg2+ 23.Kg1 Be4+ 24.Kf1 Bf5 25.Qe2 Bh3+ 26.Ke1 Rg1# and mate. This was white's most critical error. Even though black did not exploit the mate, white eventually resigned.} 20... Bg2+ {Black spies a mate in 6. Forks White's king and White's pawn at f3.

Missing the forced mate could have been costly for black, but white later resigned.} 24. Kh1 {Forced. Moves it out of check.} 24... Bxf2 {Leads to 25.Qf1 Bxf1 26.Rxf1 Re2 27.Rb2 Be1 28.d4 Rgg2 29.Rxe1 Rxh2+ 30.Kg1 Rxe1+ 31.Kxh2 Rxc1 32.Ra2 Rxc3 33.Rxa7 Rc2+ 34.Kg3, which wins a queen, a rook, a bishop, and three pawns for a rook, two bishops, and a pawn.
