Morphy defeated
We are so used to thinking about Morphy as the juggernaut that
vanquished all commers, it is interesting to look at his defeats. The new chess site cajunchess.com has a mega list of Morphy's games. Take a look at the Anderson- Morphy game #10 (1858 Paris). Anderson begins with a3!!. The game ends with Anderson's Bishop and three Pawns trumping Morphy's Rook. A very atypical Morphy loss that illustrates that he was vulnerable in less open positions.
