Hello #chess community!

I'm working through a chess training handbook, which cites the game between Schulten and Morphy 1857 (New York).

While carefully single stepping through the move notation printed in the book, I noticed that something didn't add up, maybe due to a misprint, or me misinterpreting. So I'm trying to debug the book, by looking online for any other records of this game.

Worse still, the only online versions of this game do not tally at all with the printed version.

So, can anyone help me pin this exact game down please? Was there more than one?

Book says this game began as:
1. e4 e5
2. f4 d5
3. exd5 e4
4. Nc3 Nf6
5. d3 Bb4 ...

(Hopefully that's enough to get a lock on it?)

Kind regards!

@tillymoose Should (could) be this game:

Falkbeer-Gambit - but Morphy played that very often.

Thankyou so much! I'll check it out.
I'm finding a few variations in how different accounts of this game end...
I wonder if this will be yet another variation?

@tillymoose The first moves are in accordance with the game you mentioned. But maybe that will change, if so let me know.

By the way: i am not convinced the analysis on YouTube is correct, but i didnt check it properly.
