played with Professor Anderssen, the greatest German player,
and at that time in the zenith of his fame. For a novice to
offer so brilliant an expert the Muzio was like Ivanhoe
challenging Bois-Gilbert in the lists at Ashby, but we were
nothing if not daring in those days, and the cautious modern
safety-loving youth of today had not yet been evolved. It
shows what a change has come over chess during the last forty
years.} e5 2.f4 exf4 3.Nf3 g5 4.Bc4 g4 5.O-O gxf3 6.Qxf3 Qe7

White was called on to make his sealed move. Before play was
resumed, Lipschutz was asked how his game stood. "He has a
little bit of an attack," he answered, "But my two passed
Pawns must win," a view that was endorsed by Steinitz. On
opening the envelope, and finding my move g6, he still thought
himself safe; but the next move, Rxg7+ came upon him like a
thunderbolt, and caused the greatest excitement among the
spectators, of whom Steinitz was one. He bent his head over
the board, and would scarcely believe that a mating position
had been created.} 32.g6 h6 33.Rxg7+ Kxg7 {If ...Kh8, the
