Qa6 Morphy took twelve minutes over his next move, probably to assure himself that the combination was sound and that he had a forced win in every variation. -- Chernev 17... Qf3!! 18. gf3 Rg6 19.

Aug-28-12 DanielBryant: White can play 18.Qxf1 Re1 19.g3 Bh3 20.Bg2 and there is no mate.
Aug-28-12 Cyphelium: You are right, there's just this detail: after 18.- ♕xf1+ 19. ♕xf1 ♖e1 20. g3 ♗h3 21. ♗g2 ♖xf1+ 22. ♔xf1 ♗xg2+ 23. ♔xg2 ♖e2, black wins a pawn and is clearly better. So it is probably better to wait with g3 and play 20. d3 (idea ♖e2) first. Then after 20.- ♗f5 21. ♖d2 white can continue with g3 etc. without losing a pawn.
Oct-29-12 Conrad93: 9.Be2? Correct move: 9.Bb3. Now the pawn can't be taken: 9...Nxe4 10.Nxe4 Rxe4 Qf3!.
Another blunder is 12.c3. 12.d3 or 12.Bg4 would have been far better.
These blunders ruin the beauty of the game.

Premium Chessgames Member waustad: Oh my, 12 minutes on a critical move 17 before the anvent of chess clocks. Grischuk spends that on whether to push 3.) ... a3 in a Ruy Lopez normally.

Premium Chessgames Member chessgames.com:
24...Bg4 cannot be stronger than the text, because the text (24...Bxg2) is a forced mate in 5.
"Toga" (the computer software that analyzes GTM games) saw that 24...Bg4 is surely but White can stave off mate with ruinous sacrifices (25.Qd3 Bxd1 26.h4, Kh2 etc.) Perhaps it's a bit harsh, but Guess-the-Move strongly penalizes you when you miss a forced mate, regardless of how good the alternatives are.

Premium Chessgames Member morfishine: On your comment: <...These blunders ruin the beauty of the game> I'd have to agree for the most part. Another weak move 16.Ra2 was labeled 'silly' by Steinitz. Rarely have we seen annotators, then or now, use the word 'silly'
Apr-09-13 LIFE Master AJ: I agree that Paulsen's play was of poor quality, (compared to modern times); but Morphy's play was simply sublime. To the players - of that time - Morphy was making conbinations (and beating people) in such a way that no one had ever seen before, his tactics were (for the most part) razor sharp.
May-14-13 Tigranny: This is my favorite game of chess ever. Amazing queen sac by Paul Morphy.
Jun-26-13 badmath: This may sound stupid but why not 6. ...Nxe5 ?
Dec-23-13 solskytz: There is 7. d4
Jan-07-14 john barleycorn: A similar combination happened in this game after 20.Bc5
G MacDonnell vs S Boden, 1869
Feb-17-14 Phrygian: Why not 29. Rf2?

Premium Chessgames Member OhioChessFan: 29. Rf2 Rxf2 30. Bxe3 Rfxh2+ 31. Kg1 Rh1+ 32. Kg2 Rxa1 and it's over.

Mar-29-14 capafischer1: Morphy was more ahead of his competitors than anybody in chess history. You can safely bank on that claim.
Apr-10-14 Conrad93: Not bad for a 19th century game, but this is hardly the skills of the "greatest ever."
More like the "Greatest player of the mid 19th century."
Apr-10-14 Conrad93: Unless of course you regard Philidor, Greco, and Ruy Lopez de Segura with the same regard...
May-13-14 capabull: Why not 20. ...Bxf2?
May-13-14 capabull: Okay, because of Qf1
May-13-14 kjr63: Steinitz said that Paulsen played excellent opening, but he shoukd have played c2-c3 and d2-d4 before 11.Bf3 (covering the d3 square).
Jul-30-14 posoo: now dis...DIS...puts all other moves to SHAME. Da queen sac without IMMEDIATE compunsation is RARE. AND DONT TELL ME fischer did it. da windmill in dat game was easy to see and I woulda played it too
Jul-30-14 Sally Simpson: A wonderful game but it's always annoyed me as to why PCM missed 22...Rg2!

Following the above analysis it runs.
22... Rg2 23. Qd3 Rxf2+ 24. Kg1 Rg2+ 25. Kh1 Rg1

That would have been the perfect wrap up.
Back here after 22...Rg2

Even 23.Qxb6 does nothing. 23...Rxh2!

Sep-10-14 Pablo23: Why wasn't 28.Kg2 played?
Sep-11-14 Alexshev: If 28. Kg2 then Rf6 29. Kh1 Cg3 30. Rxf6 Rxh2+ 31. Kg1 gxf6 32. Rxa7 h5
