knights, and a central pawn majority, Black probably felt
confident in the outcome of this game. But Nimzowitsch proves
that the opposing centre is a liability because the squares in
front of it are weak, inviting invasion by blockading
knights. The bishops, locked behind the pawns, are never given
a chance. Not strictly true! Nimzowitsch inadvertently allows
the bishops to escape, but then proceeds to dominate them with
his knights on an open board.} e6 2. d4 d5 3. e5 c5 4. c3 Nc6

way to the removal of some of the pressure on the p at e5. The

his chance by losing a decisive tempo. In any case he must try

considerable complications. After the text move White
practically forces the exchange of Queens which give him the
possibility of advancing the d pawn in a decisive manner.}

1. e4 {Notes by Morphy} c5 2. f4 {If there is anything to be
regretted in connection with the combats between this
illustrious players, it is the pertinacity with which
M'Donnell persisted in adopting, in two of th debuts which
most frequently occur, a line of play radically bad. Against
such an adversary as Labourdonnais the disastrous affects of
M'donnells early moves in nearly all of the Sicilian Games and
Queen's Gambits could not be overcome even by the best
afterplay. The moves of 2.Nf3, or still better, 2.d4, are
those now generally recognized as the best. The latter move is
indeed so strong that it has gone far toward disabusing the
public mind of that pernicious fondness for the Sicilian
Defence which was displayed during what may be called the
period of close games, extending from about 1843 to some time
after 1851. It was an epoch of uninteresting games and dreary
analytical labors, and with the exception of the contests
ocurring between the great Prussian masters, afforded but
comparitavely few specimens of brilliant play. It should be a
subject of rejoicing with every lover of the game that an age,
in which so much severe labor led to such unprofitable
results, has passed away. There is now a visible tendency to
cultivate a higher style of chess art- to sustitute for the
false taste which has so long prevailed a more elevated
standard of excellence. } e6 3. Nf3 d5 4. e5 Nc6 5. c3 f6

b5 {Although Black has a very good game at this stage, we do
not approve of the manner in which he has so far conducted the
opening. In advancing the queen pawns and in failing to play
the all important move of ...Qb6 at the proper moment, he has
deviated from the plan which his own subsequent contests
demonstrate to be the best. } 12. Ne3 a5 13. Kh1 fxe5 14. fxe5
Nf5 {The necessity of challenging the exchange of knights is
not at all apparent to us. Black's knight is well-placed,
while White's obstructs the movements of his queen's bishop,
and in a measure prevents the development of his
game. 14...Be8 at once, with the intention of posting the
bishop at g6, and thus commanding an important diagonal, would
have been better. } 15. g4 Nxe3 16. Bxe3 Be8 17. Qd2 Bg6
