Brooklyn Chess Chronicle

Pour changer un peu des parties jouées sur le serveur FICS, voici une partie publiée dans le Brooklyn Chess Chronicle du 15/11/1882, Vol.1 numero 4, p.33, des frères Muñoz. La partie est elle-même issue, me semble-t-il, du St. Louis Globe-Democrat. J'ai supposé les lieu et année où s'est déroulée cette partie.

Edwards - Wurm

Saint Louis USA (?), 1882 (?)

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 f5 [This method of conducting the Philidor's Defence, once so greatly in vogue and so much favored by Morphy, has been shown by later analysts to yield a very inferior game for Black if properly met.] 4. Nc3 [The correct reply, according to Dr. Zukertort's analysis.] 4... fxe4 5. Nxe4 d5 6. Ng3 [The wrong answer. 6. Nxe5 followed by Qh5+, etc., is given by the authorities.] 6... e4 7. Ne5 Nf6 8.
