1. e4 e5 2. f4 {On this occasion, to follow the fashion, I offered the King’s Gamhit wherever I had the chance; and to my utter astonishment, nearly all were accepted.

Some 40 years ago or more, I frequently played it, but came to the conclusion that it did not lead to such a lasting attack as the ordinary Muzio. When I sacrificed the Bishop, one of the lookers-on asked what Gambit I called that, pointing to the next board. "That," I said, "is the Bishop's Gambit, and this is the Archbishop's." The Archbishop was present at the time.} Kxf7 6. Ne5+ Ke8 {The only move. Any other loses immediately.} 7. Qxg4 Qf6 ({The correct reply is} 7... Nf6) 8. d4 Bh6 9. O-O Qg7 10. Qh5+ Ke7 11.

N.B. it has been possible to deduce the exact date of this game as follows: Blackburne makes reference to the presence of the Archbishop of Canterbury, whom we know made the opening speech on 1 June, when Blackburne may not have been present (and no simul was reported), but the Archbishop also put in an appearance on the Thursday, as reported in the Kent & Sussex Courier, 12 June 1903.} 1-0
