Hi Terry..

Black was played by J. Thompson...at New york in 1860.

Morphy won this without his white knight...

(his white knight was removed at the beginning of the game).

I found this game in an old chess book I received for winning first place in my highschool
chess tournament (championship) back in 1952....

The name of the book is The Golden Treasury of Chess by Wellmuth.

best regards
