    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.

    Still Agad ventures off to never played never would have been played idiocy as always. You see his head bobbing during the viewer finding period is there but reduced. You know this video is about a year old. Prior to that Agad bobbed his head like an empty gourd every time he told you to find a move. These days he has found control of his bobbing head but there was a transition period during which Agad bobbed just a little because he could not stop the gourd from rocking around in there.

I like these "good stuff" videos and perhaps we shall see more profiles of the unsung great masters of the 19th century when there is some downtime in our current world of chess. I'm sure we will. The Agadmator seems only too happy to be our tour guide.

Why would Morphy do that? He’s the one who wins” then when he said “it was in this position..” I was like “wait... no... it can’t be.. but.. they said.. it can’t... how? Why? Is anything real anymore? Is there a god? Would a god allow this? I’m starting to feel sick... Mom?? Is that you? But I thought you were.. no I’m still single. Its not because I don’t iron my shirts Mom, I’m just not ready for anything serious right now. Ok I’ll iron them ok? And tell uncle Joe I said what’s up, he’ll know what it means” “Morphy resigned” “dang I’ve never heard about him losing before, oh well”

    I can’t imagine Barnes missed Nxe4-it just seems crazy to me that someone at Barnes’ level could overlook such a tactic. Maybe Barnes saw that Morphy could relieve tension by trading the Queen for Knight+Rook, and thought this would be letting Morphy off too easy? Either way, very strange!
