Thank you for honouring the great Italian player from Cosenza, Calabria, Italy. His chess manual has been a must read for centuries. It is inconceivable that Paul Morphy himself did not read it! Even I, as a boy, was advised to learn it by heart! And I am so happy that after so many years I can still remember these games and see them vividly in my mind's eye.

It's amazing that this gambit is still played today and any player who falls for it is in big trouble
