    This is the story of the birth of modern chess - when the possibilities of chess as an art, a science and a sport all converged.
    The point of convergence was a young boy from Louisiana named Paul Morphy. At a time when America was seen as a backwoods nation with little cultural history and even less intellectual impetus, at a time when chess was considered the exclusive property of a few European countries, at a time when the game was played successfully by a handful of men wizened by years, Paul Morphy, in the brief span of 19 months and with seemingly little effort, defeated conclusively every player he met.
    While today few non chess players even know his name, he was one of the most famous celebrities of his time and within the hallowed halls of the chess playing community he is considered by some as the greatest chess player of all time.
    But this diminutive, unassuming boy rose to fame almost out of nowhere and once he secured his place in history, he retired back into that hazy unknown, shunning the public eye, never again to play serious chess. Not only was he one of great practitioners of the game, but also one of it's greatest enigmas. He's been given the sobriquet, The Pride and Sorrow of Chess.

    For location photography at that time, you used a, "wet plate process" and a "view camera." You set up a large camera consisting of frosted focus glass at back, bellows in the middle, & lens on front. The lens projects an image onto the frosted glass that can be focused by lengthening/shortening the bellows. Such a camera weighs about 20 lbs. From behind the camera you view the projection onto the frosted glass with a black cloth over your head to block out outside light, as the projected image is quite dim. You reposition the camera to get your desired framing, then move the lens fore/aft to bring it into focus, and put on the lens cap. This could take a while to get just right, afterward the camera is then ready to take a picture upon being loaded with a single sheet of film.
    The "film" was a sheet of glass, coated on location with a light sensitive colloidal liquid in a perfectly dark enclosure set up for that purpose (outside in nature, often a black tent). You mixed the colloid, coating the glass sheet with the light sensitive colloid in complete darkness, then installed it into a light-tight wooden "holder" or frame with a removable cover sheet. You then bring the holder with glass inside to the camera, & swap out the frosted focusing glass at the back of the camera for it, where it rests at the exact position onto which the image had been focused. You now have a loaded camera ready to expose film.
    To expose the film installed in the camera you first slide away the cover sheet (the "dark slide") from the glass sheet holder (the side that faces toward the lens). Using a watch, you then remove the lens cap allowing light through the lens just as when you focused (cameras this old did not have shutters), thus exposing the film for a known time, then replace the cap. You reinsert the dark slide to make the glass sheet safe from light, and may then repeat the process with another holder of film. You probably developed the film in a chemical bath before leaving, to make sure you got a usable image.
    PS this clunky process gets fantastic results of far higher quality in many ways than what you can achieve today, unless you use the same processes.

    “Paul Morphy was the greatest chess player that ever lived. Every student of the game, who has delved into the stories of the past, realizes that no one ever was so far superior to the players of his time, or ever defeated his opponents with such ease, and no one ever offered knight odds to the men who considered themselves his equal.“ - Emmanuel Lasker

    Anderssen throwing everything, including the kitchen sink, (as we say the Uk), at Morphy, but he still doesn’t really put Morphy in danger, but it makes for a very dramatic game. And thanks to Agad for showing us such a rich seam of Chess history.

      By this time, Morphy was actually giving Mr. Anderssen odds of one kitchen sink. Later on he'd add a toaster oven and a dishwasher.

    Even if the kings gambit is being play Anderssen is a cool dude for playing even when he keeps losing. Harrwitz quit after getting crushed lol

      I think Adolf liked Morphy and enjoyed playing him. I play against people whom I seldom beat. They are good company and it’s fun to play against them. Even when I loose.😊

      @@user-td2pg3mq4q 😊👍 I thought that might be the case. I wasn’t trying to be aggressive. I think Mr Anderson and Mr Morphy we’re fine gentlemen and good company. I don’t believe I would have liked Staunton even though he did a lot to advance the popularity of chess. Lowenthal also seems to be a bit of a pill. Cheers

    A quick question: was the fact that all the games featured the King's Gambit agreed upon in advance between Morphy and Anderssen? It is unclear.

    I think someone has asked this once before, so sorry for repeating the question,
    What year is the line between "this position hasn't been reached again" and "this position hasn't been reached before"?
