Mate in three : James MacConnel vs Paul Morphy

Morphy says Hi.

James MacConnel wouldn’t have been too proud of this match – he lost in the next three moves. But then, this match is the reason why his name is in most chess books today. Given a choice to get your name into the books this way, would you take it?

More importantly, black to play and win in three moves.

MacConnel vs Morphy. Black to play.
