Muzio gambit

You can't go wrong with Morphy, Marshall and Shirov!

Just to clarify, Morphy didn't invent the Muzio and only seldom played it.

I had written a 3 part article on the Muzio that may (or may not) interest KG lovers.
Part I  covers a little theory and history;
Part II covers various notable games of the Muzio and
Part III covers the Double or Wild Muzio.

Thanks for clarification.

The Morphy vs NN game above was one of four boards in a blindfold simul.

We have 14 recorded Muzios played by Morphy. Of these, 9 were played giving odds or either a Rook or a Knight and 4 were played during blindfold simuls. Only one surviving game was played on even terms with one opponent, but the opponent, the venue and the situation are known. Morphy won every game but one, played at Kt odds against Charles de Maurian, which was a draw.

If you deleted your posting because of me, I'm very sorry.  It was a good idea to post something here on the Muzio.

I just published an article on Morphy's Muzios that may interest King's Gambiteers.
