Back in those days, after winning a chess game, it was considered gentlemanly to send a dozen roses to the defeated player, hence the term "romantic era".

Wow!!! A good piece of information if it's true. I always wondered why it was called the romantic era. Now I know. Thks. By the way,judging by the way Morphy literally annihilated his opponents in the most brutal way, I see nothing romantic about that era. Heh heh!!!

From Wikipedia: The Romantic era, an artistic, literary, musical and intellectual movement of the 18th and 19th centuries, including: Romantic music, Romantic poetry, Romanticism in science, Romantic chess. Romanticism was an artistic and intellectual movement that originated in Europe towards the end of the 18th century. The purpose of the movement was to advocate for the importance of subjectivity, imagination, and appreciation of nature in society and culture during the Age of Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution.

White's lead in development is what won the game!

Wow a new thought. Any pinned pawn of your own on a diagonal controls the two sides one rank forward by extension of the check push. I say this because the exact same concept was employed when putting the rook of f7 a second ago. And my mind neglected the same strategy just reviewed directly applicable immediately after the strategy was demostrated. So? Drill the mind set. Pin my pawn and I control the two spaces stated. I may be getting old.
