Dorpat, 1890
1. e4, e5
2. Nf3, Nc6
3. Bc4, Bc5
4. b4 ....
The Evans Gambit. White sacrifices a pawn to establish control of the center.
4. .... Bxc4
5. c3, Bc5
6. d4, exd4
7. cxd4, Bc6
8. 0-0, d6
9. Nc3 ....
The Evans Gambit, Morphy Attack.
9. .... Bd7
10. e5!, dxe5
11. Re1, Nge7
It would be futile to defend the e5 pawn.
12. Ng5, Be6
If 12....0-0, then 13. Nxf7 Rxf7, 14. Qf3 White has a strong attack.
13. Bxf6, fxf6
14. Nxf6, Qd6
15. Nxg7, Kf8
16. Qg4, Bxd4?
Black could have fared batter if 16....Rg8, 17. Ne6+ Kf7, 18. Ng5+ Ke8, 19. Qh5+ Qg6.
17. Ne4, Qb4
18. Ne6+, Ke8
19. Nf6+, Kf7
20. Ng5+, Kf8
If 20....Kxf6, then White clinches victory with 21. Qe6+ Kg7, 22. Qf7+ Kh6, 23. Nf3+ with a mating attack.
21. Ba3 ....
Done to save the Rook at e1.
21. .... Qxa3
22. Qe6 ....
Threatens mate at f7.
Black covers the threatened square. So he thought. Now comes a shocker....
23. Qf7+ ....
Black is caught flat-footed !
23. .... Nxf7
24. Ne6 mate.
Magnificent!
