In this segment Morphy finishes his Match against Adolf Anderssen, despite being so ill that he is unable to leave his Hotel. After a Match against August Mongredien, Morphy returns to London with his good friend Jules Arnous de Riviere. Howard Staunton will not play him, so Morphy conducts the only sighted simul of his career against five of the strongest chess masters in the world.
