1. e4 {Notes by Morphy} e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Bc4 {This gambit, although mentioned by the earlier
 writers, was neither well analysed nor much
 practiced until about the period of these matches.

 the attack, and Labourdonnais' in the course of these
 games, discoverd and employed the defences which,
 until very lately, were generally regarded as the best} Qh4+ 4. Kf1 g5 5. Nc3 Bg7 6. d4 {M'Donnell here invented an ingenious variation,
