It was a pain explaining this to my gf lol. Thanks for sparking my passion for chess with these vids These games are truly instructive and entertaining I learn so much more from this than looking at games alone
Honestly never bought into this story; some upstart yank playing at the opera against 2 aristocrats, it makes zero sense. It's like a chess puzzle so good it was written into chess history as actually happening. Or maybe Morphy played it against a proper nobody in a cafe but that was too boring so they made up the bit about aristocrats & operas? Whatever, not buying it as sold. Did not happen.
I've played chess since 1987, and this is about the only game I've memorised.
Incredible video!! Prepping got a tourney in September and you have helped so much
Enjoy your tournament!!
Thank you David
I've seen a lot of videos on the Opera Game, this is definitely up there as one of the best.
Thank you for the video. I learnt a lot
I know it's gonna bother David so much when he realizes he said 1958 instead of 1858 😂
He or someone put the correction in the video description 😂
Such an amazing game!
