8.♞c3!? in Anbetracht seines großen Entwicklungsvorsprungs begnügt sich Morphy nicht mit dem Gewinn eines Bauern, sondern setzt weiter konsequent auf Initiative. Bei der Tempobilanz ist zu beachten, daß die schwarze Dame e7 nicht als entwickelt gezählt werden kann, sondern vielmehr dem Läufer f8 im Weg steht. Außerdem muß Schwarz ein weiteres Tempo verlieren, um den Bauern b7 zu decken.
