- Proof that the game is spurious, that is, not played by Paul Morphy.
- Corrections to the name of Morphy's opponent. This includes the spelling, supplying a full name and indentifying an unknown player.
- Correct dating of the game.
- Corrections to the score.
A pgn of the full set of Morphy games is available at Morphy PGN . I will call this file the CKR file after the person who labored long and hard to assemble it. All the Shibut numbers are in the CKR file. Some of the corrections that we will discuss have already been applied to the CKR file but there is some additional information which I would like to document. Be sure to visit the rest of the SBC site for all things Morphy.

I like that you've use Morphy's 1854 "Spring Hill" picture. It's quite distinctive.
Remember now that you liked that one. Mainly was looking for a old and faded quality to put in there. Turned out okay. It looks like Morphy is staring at you through the mists of time.
