this line of attack was considered a novelty. The same
position, however, occurs in a game published in 1842, brought
about as follows: 1.e4 e5 2.f4 exf4 3.Nf3 g5 4.h4 g4 5.Ng5 d5
6.d4 h6 7.Nxf7 Kxf7 8.Bxf4 and the positions are identical.}

that "the concluding part of the game is beautifully played".}
