Morphy’s effortless developing & finishing technique is just stunning.
Morphy and Capablanca are the two most naturally gifted players of all time.
Thanks John. You raise a great question, just how did Morphy get so good? No ECOs. No Chessable. No RUclips streamers. Unbelievable
this is why Gm Ben Finegold considers him the greatest of all time. his argument is something like "if everyone in the world is rated 1500, how does someone learn to play at 2000 level?" it might as well be magic if you ask me
Who taught Morphy?
Musicians ask the same question abuot the original jazz masters and about Bach.
They're the pioneers who first blazed the trail.
Very intelligent and collected analysis to this classical game. I've recently replayed it by myself and it was a pleasure to watch it again with your comments. Thanks for the video!
2:09 His delivery is too funny.
I love the simple, attacking chess of this era. There is beauty in the complex, computer driven chess we have now, but there's such flair from 1800's players.
GOAT. No argument.
I love Paul Morphy! Can you perhaps do another instructive game from him?
So interesting once again. Thanks ChessDawg.
When Anderssen's friends asked him why he didn't play as brilliantly with Morphy as he does with others, Anderssen replied, "Morphy wouldn't let me!. It is of no use struggling against this man. He is just like a piece of machinery that is sure to come to a certain conclusion. It is impossible to play chess better than Mr. Morphy. Nobody can hope to win more than a game or two from him!" And mind you, Anderssen was considered to be the strongest player in Europe at the time.
GOD CHESS PAUL MORPHY
Love your videos. You're the man chessdawg
you should really present more of Morphy's games
That's why Staunton is afraid of him
wow you really take on the big boys. Morphy is the best.
The position was still playable. Two rooks vs a knight and queen. And may be even a well fought out draw with some tough luck. All he had to do was connect the rooks.

I think Morphy’s training was observing the mistakes of his father (or uncle?) as a child while having to keep a respectful silence - years of seeing move by move how it could be done better!
Morphy's training was observation at a young age, plus natural talent.
Great site, pal.....
You said it brother ❤
If Anderssen defends the queen with his king, rook takes queen, king takes rook, then Morphy has a queen and Anderssen has two rooks. This is a net positive for Anderssen, and overall they have equal material (numerically). His resignation seems early, to me. Assuming I'm wrong, what am I missing?
White has an extra knight
Yes, and with all the material "added up" white and black are equal. I understand that at this level of play Anderssen agrees that his position is hopelessly lost, but to my lesser understanding of the game it does not look like it's time to resign. Black has one more pawn, and I think a case could be made that his pawns are better, as they are pushed farther up the board, and reasonably well-connected. Additionally, white's knight doesn't have many moves, and will have to take the long way around to find a safe square if it wants to get into the action. I assume there are positional components that place Morphy in an overwhelmingly winning position, and that's what I'm trying to understand. @@ytmndman
@@DavidBrack-c9v Queen and knight work together better than any other combination of pieces.
Resignation is perfectly in order. In these kinds of positions, the queen is much more mobile than the black rooks. This mobility is most often used to make simultaneous attacks on multiple pawns. One simple winning plan is to pick off a few pawns, create a passed pawn, and then queen it and use the superior force to checkmate black. You also forgot that white has an extra knight to aid the queen, which combine very well to make mating threats. Thus, while black has an extra pawn in the final position after Kg7 Rxf6 Kxf6, white has both a qualitative and quantitative advantage with the Q + N vs 2 R and easy win.
@@2199SPUDMAN Thank you for this informative response.
Hi, just wondering why black did not play h6 and g5 to attack white's dark Bishop and try to make knight escape at 4：15. Thanks!
Because after h6 just PxN and if PxB then Re1+ etc
Morphy was the chess game itself
0:13 gave me a heart attack
Why? This was before that other Adolf was born, and it was okay to name people that.
@@ytmndman this game was played before adolf was born yes. but it's broadcasted to us in 2024
@@pokemonjynx1019 So we should just never mention historical people with that name?
Always sack the exchange! :D and for my surprise it was correct! :D
Remember old days, but media kill it. When you know all combinations are discovered by PC no more challenges.
😮
Morphy with all the prep amd modern engines would easily be 2700 and from that he can continue his run through hard work and might even gave a good fight to Magnus
