After the opening, a variation of Morphy's Fried Liver attack exposes Black's king and eventually leads to his downfall.
| 1. e2-e4, c7-c5. | |
| 2. b2-b4, c5xb4. | White plans to ignore the gambit pawn, and Black plans to use it. |
| 3. Bf1-c4, Ng8-f6. | |
| 4. d2-d3, e7-e5. | |
| 5. Ng1-f3, Nb8-c6. | |
| 6. Bc1-b2, Qd8-a5. | White now has exactly the position he wanted. |
| 7. Nb1-d2, d7-d5. | |
| 8. e4xd5, Nf6xd5. | |
| 9. h2-h3, Nd5-c3. | Black's ambitious king knight has ventured from his post. |
| 10. Bc4xf7+, Ke8-e7. | White plans Kxf7, 11. N-g5+ and then Q-f3. Black doesn't like it. |
| 11. Bb2xc3, b4xc3. | |
| 12. Nd2-c4, Qa5-c5. | The gambit pawn flexes its muscle, and White drops back to plan B. |
| 13. 0-0, Bc8-f5. | Black still doesn't want the tainted bishop. |
| 14. Nf3xe5, Nc6xe5. | |
| 15. Nc4xe5, Ke7-f6. | If the black queen takes the knight, she will be pinned by the rook. |
| 16. d3-d4, Qc5-c7. | The pawn saves both the knight and bishop, and attacks the queen! |
| 17. Qd1-f3, g7-g6. | White pins the bishop and Black's pawn attempts to minimize damage. |
| 18. g2-g4, Ra8-d8. | White attacks the helpless bishop and Black attacks that pesky pawn. |
| 19. g4xf5, g6xf5. | The deed is done. |
| 20. Ra1-e1, Rd8xd4. | White sacrifices his pawn and protects his knight with his rook. |
| 21. Ne5-g4, Kf6xf7. | White was willing to sacrifice the bishop long ago. Black is now ahead but his king is vulnerable. |
| 22. Qf3xf5+, Kf7-g8. | If K-g7, then 23. Q-f6+ looks worse. |
| 23. Ng4-f6+, Kg8-g7. | If K-f7, then 24. N-d5+ wins the queen. |
| 24. Nf6-e8+, Kg7-h6. | K-g8 looks worse, but it might have saved him. |
| 25. Re1-e6 mate. | An exposed king is really hard to protect. |
