1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 d6 {Philidor Defence} 3.d4 Bg4 {This is a weak move already.
-Fischer} 4.dxe5 Bxf3 5.Qxf3 dxe5 6.Bc4 {Threatening mate on f7} Nf6 7.Qb3 {More
aggresive development, the Queen now attacks two pawns} Qe7 {Only move to avoid
mate or lose the Rook, if Qd7 then Qxb7 losing the Rook, now if Qxb7 then Qb4+}
8.Nc3 {Instead of wasting time taking the b7 pawn Morphy develops another piece}
c6 9.Bg5 {Black is in what's like a zugzwang position here. He can't develop the
[Queen's] knight because the pawn is hanging, and the black bishop is blocked
because of the Queen. -Fischer} b5 10.Nxb5! cxb5? 11.Bxb5+ Nbd7 12.O-O-O {A great
example of offensive castling, in one move Morphy not only protects his King by removing it from the center of the board,
but also takes control of the open file for his Rooks which will lead to Black's defeat} Rd8 13.Rxd7 {White
captures with the Rook in order to maintain the pin} Rxd7 14.Rd1 {It's all over
now} Qe6 {This is just a desperation move} 15.Bxd7+ Nxd7 16.Qb8+ Nxb8 17.Rd8# {Morphy mates them with his two
remaining pieces} 1-0
