[A] It is to be regretted that Mr. Potier did not take the Kt. rather than retreat, as many amateurs would have been pleased to see Mr. Morphy carrying out the attack of this interesting and comparatively novel début.
[B] Finely played.
[C] The termination of this partie is remarkably elegant and finished.
