Example Game
The following game, played in Paris in 1844 against Schulten, represents probably his finest combination and bears a similarity to the famous "Immortal Game" he was to lose seven years later:
1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Bc4 Qh4+ 4. Kf1 b5 5. Bxb5 Nf6 6. Nc3 Ng4 7. Nh3 Nc6 8. Nd5 Nd4 9. Nxc7+ Kd8 10. Nxa8 f3! 11. d3 f6 12. Bc4 d5 13. Bxd5 Bd6 14. Qe1? (14.e5! seems to be in White's favor. Instead he is delivered a beautiful forced checkmate.) 14... fxg2+ 15. Kxg2 Qxh3+!! 16. Kxh3 Ne3+ 17. Kh4 Nf3+ 18. Kh5 Bg4# 0–1
