THE GREAT CHESS MATCH BETWEEN AN
DERssEN AND MoRPHY. Y..-Tbe chess players
are very much interested in the progress of the
chess match in Paris, between ANDERSEN, the
best player in Europe, and Morphy, the Amer
lean player.
The Prussian has devoted lifetime to chess
and is besides professor of mathematics at
Breslau-an occupation calculated to mature
just those powers that make great chess play
er. When Andersen visited England, few
years since, be met and conquered nearly all
the famous chess players of that country, ex-
cept Staunton, who very discreetly avoided a
match with him.. Eleven games have been
played, and Morphy declared the winner. The
score stood as follows: Morphy Z, Andersen
2, drawn 2. The first game was an even gam
Bit played by Morphy, in which 10 moves were
made, aud which was finally scored by the
Prussian. The second game was Rup Lopez
opening, which the American won. AnGers-
sen played the same opening on the fourth game
and lost. This match was merely for honor.-
Betters offer ten to one on Morphy, with no ia
kers. A Paris paper, describing the game.
says
"The first game lasted seven hours, and was
won by Prof. Andersen During the course
OF this game, which was conducted in the most
brilliant manner, and In which were displayed
an immense number of the most ingenious COM
binations on both sides, | had good opportu>
nifty of studying the contestants. Nothing
could be more unlike than the physique of the
two players.
"Mr. Morphy is frail, small boy, with
dne face aud head, and modest, almost timid
air. Prof. Anderson, on the contrary, is
tall man, slim, about fifty years of age, with
small bald head, slight stoop in the shoul-
ders, lively black eyes, clean shaved face,
and decidedly German cast of features. He
is quiet, gentlemarly man, with sympathet-
ic expression of the face, which immediately
prodisposes in his favor.
sDuring the first game Mr.. Anderson moved
much more rapidly than Mr. Morphy. Not
word was spoken by either player during the
whole seven hours. No demonstrations or false
moves were made by either party, to indicate
to the other his plans. There seemed to be
more originality, more genius, more of the sim
prevnu' In Mr.. Morphy's moves, and more of
study aud experience in those of Mr.. Anders-
sen. The two men are evidently more nearly
matched than they ever we're before.
"Ou Tuesday the game recommended at II
O'Clock, and at the close was a draw. On
Wednesday, MIR. Morphy beat Mr.. Andersen
two games in rapid succession, the first one in
a few moves. The young giant is getting rous-
ed up."
Harwitz has been Distinguishing himself by
playing eight blindfolded games, six of which |
he won, one be lost, and one drawn. His op-
ponents were all inferior players, and the games
lacked brilliancy. Morphy, on the conclusion
of lis match with Andersen, promises to play
twenty games blindfolded against strong play
ers.
