USA-01 Congress Grand Tournament New York (3.2), 23.10.1857
1.e4 Daniel Fiske: The First American Chess Congress New York 1857, p. 224
1...e5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Bc4 Nxe4 4.Nc3 d5 Giving back the pawn for development is not a bad idea. 5.Bxd5 Nf6 6.Bb3 Bd6 7.d3 0-0 8.h3 h6 9.Be3 Nc6 10.Qd2 Na5 Black looks okay 11.g4 It looks hyper-aggressive to start an attack on the wing as long as the center is not closed. 11...Nxb3 [11...b5 looks fine, to bring the c8 into the long open diagonal on b7. 12.Rg1 Bb7 13.g5 Nxb3 14.axb3 hxg5 15.Nxg5 Bb4 With equal chances] 12.axb3 Bd7 [12...b5] 13.Rg1 Nh7 Too passive [13...Bc6] 14.Ne4 Kh8 Again passive 15.g5 h5 16.Nh4 g6 17.Qe2 Bc6 The Black position looks still okay 18.f4?!" [¹18.0-0-0 Is more flexible. White can now wait for the right moment to play f2-f4 or he can continue with d2-d4. 18...Re8 (18...a5 19.f4 (Or even here 19.d4) ) 19.d4 Is even possible] 18...exf4 19.Bd4+ He wanted this diagonal - but the e-file can cause some troubles. 19...Kg8 20.Nf5 Re8! Clever and cool defense! [20...gxf5? 21.Nf6+ Kg7 22.Qxh5+-] 21.Nh6+ Kf8 22.0-0-0 He can't omit this move, which he should have done on the 18th move. 22...Bxe4? Not the best, but not loosing [22...Nxg5 is Easy to find and critical. What can White do now? 23.Nxf7 Kxf7 (23...Nxf7 24.Rxg6) 24.Nxg5+ Qxg5! 25.Qxe8+ Rxe8 26.Rxg5 f3 And Black have two strong pawns for the exchange. He will play for a win.] 23.dxe4± Qe7 24.e5 A forcing move. Tactics will decide now and Morphy knows, that he will see more than his opponent. [24.Qc4 Qe6 25.Qc3±] 24...Bxe5 25.Bxe5 Qxe5 26.Rd7 Good shot 26...Qg7? The expected mistake of the weaker player. [26...Qxe2 27.Rxf7#;
What about 26...Nxg5 It will follow 27.Rxg5 And now? 27...Qf6!! The White Queen is hanging, and th Knight is good for the attack, but how can he survive without attack?
These complex tactics were too difficult for Lichtenhein. 28.Qc4 a) 28.Rxf7+ Qxf7 29.Nxf7 Rxe2-+; b) 28.Qxh5 Rad8-+ (28...gxh5?? 29.Rg8#) ; c) 28.Qd2 Re7 29.Rxe7 Qxe7 30.Rd5 Re8 The white knight is in a prison. 31.Qxf4 Qe3+ 32.Qxe3 Rxe3³ And Black is not bad, maybe aliitle bit better. f.e. 33.Rd7 Re7 34.Rd8+ Kg7 35.Ng8 Re5 36.Rb8 f5 37.Rxb7 Kxg8µ; 28...Re1+ 29.Kd2 Re7 30.Rxe7 Rd8+ 31.Kc1 Qxe7 32.Re5 Qf6 33.Re4 Kg7 34.Rxf4 Qe5 35.Qxf7+ Kxh6 36.Kb1 with good drawing chances for White.] 27.Qc4!! Already the winning move 27...Re7 28.Rxe7 Kxe7 29.Re1+ Time 3 hours[29.Re1+ Kd6 30.Rd1+ Ke7 31.Qxc7+ Ke8 32.Re1+ Kf8 33.Qe7#]
