Harrwitz after game 2: "it takes very little to beat [Morphy]" Morphy: *gets a full night's sleep before future games* Harrwitz after game 5: "[Morphy] is the strongest opponent I've ever faced" Ben Finegold: "the truth hurts"
Basically the two statements mean the same. Since 1869 to now, that position has never been reached again. But let's say a game was played today and when covering that at a certain point agadmator says that it's a new position. It means that since this game until the moment he checked in the database, this position has not been reached once more. So, "we have a completely new game" and "this position has never been reached again" are the same things said in two ways.
@@shanjidarafahraiyan1972 But a "completely new game" means the position has never happened _before_ though, which is a bit different. If a position was "never reached again", it could have happened previously, but not afterwards, which is effectively the opposite of a "completely new game".
Morphy was a really a king in his era. He revolutionized chess by his romantic evergreen moves. This is one of such classic tales when too much agression led to scintillating counter-attacks by the legend himself.
@@Uniconst00not the best but the greatest. Clearly modern players would crush morphy today, but he was probably the most naturally gifted chess player ever as he was just so far ahead of his peers. Imagine if he had modern theory and openings to go with his insane talent. But there is a difference between best and greatest ever. Carlson is the best ever, but Morphy is greater.
2:02 my stockfish determines this sentence to be an inaccuracy, since we are in the line of the good stuff, and "a completely new game" is not the best description. Better would be "Never been reached again"
It seems that Morphy never makes the same opening twice in any match... something that imspired Bobby Fischer in his World Campionship Game against Spassky 1971
The only channel subscription I check everyday. I watch every video as it entertains me more than anything else. Can't believe it's been several years already. Keep up the good work!
Hey Antonio I have a #SagaSuggestion for you... How about making a saga where you show us those games where player executed their "Signature Move" for the first time or positions that were named after them. Like Morphy's defense, Marshall attack(Which you already covered in Capablanca saga), Alekhine defense etc.
This match reminds me a bit of Go matches in Edo period Japan between grandmasters and their challengers. In those times there were schools/houses of Go, usually with a head grandmaster, who was a bit like a dojo owner, and who exerted absolute authority over the school. Any outsider who came to the school to challenge the grandmaster was in a seriously underdog position in all possible ways. The pace of the game was entirely dictated by the grandmaster. Stories tell that when the legendary Kuwahara Shusaku, still not a renowned grandmaster himself, challenged one particular house, the grandmaster would use all kinds of dubious tricks to try to win the game, such as adjourning the game to the next day whenever he wanted (something that he was customarily entitled to do as the head of the school), so much so that, according to the stories, at one particular point in the game he adjourned to the game to be continued the next day, and then the next day he made a move, Shusaku made his move relatively quickly, and then after thinking about it for a good while the grandmaster adjourned the game to the next day again. Also, during these recesses, the grandmaster would freely use his students to study the more unlikely moves to see if there might be some tricks there (a practice that was very common at the time). The challenger, rather obviously, didn't have this kind of extra help. In another game (against the head of some other Go house) the grandmaster just declare the game a draw mid-way through, in a relatively clear losing position (again, something that the head of the school was entitled to do at the time, and the challenger just had no choice but to submit to it. It was essentially up to the grandmaster whether he wanted to be honorable and resign, or get a cheap draw like this, and nobody dared to say anything.)
Thanks for posting this! I love reading the history and the details of games such as chess, Go and poker. The psychology and strategy that goes into winning or to completely psych your opponent into making a critical mistake / misstep is astounding!
@@apinksheep2415Thanks, probably meant to say "Who knew" but realized maybe others knew (since my chess knowledge is minimal and I've never heard of him before). I really like people like U who take the time to correct others.
Morphy plays with great creativity, initiative, and style (which is why we love him), but Harrwitz defends with great elegance himself. As they say in boxing, "styles make fights", and this is a good one.
Just for completeness, in the final position, if white tries to prolong the game with 1.Bf1 Rh1 2.Re7, Morphy would finish him off nicely 1. ... Ra2. Great video, great saga, keep up the good job!
Morphy in this game with a 98.4 PERCENT ACCURACY! Harrwitz with 95%. Harrwitz gave away the lead on move 24 when he played Ng3, he should've done Qg3. 44. Be2 was a mistake, he should've gone g4 48. Ke1 was a a bad move, he should've gone Bf1 53. Rxc7 was the final straw
Thank you for a great game, and a great analysis. I'm enjoying the Morphy saga very much. Maybe Daniel wanted the delay so he could lick his wounds and win some games to regain his confidence.
Have you ever thought about doing a World Chess Champion series between Kasparov and Karpov? Sort of just like the Fischer Spassky one - I think it'd be insanely cool!
What a dramatic epic battle this was! This is how chess should be. Morphy's position almost looked like he might even be losing at times, then he fought back and attacked to gain a position which looked pretty overwhelming but Harrwitz defended excellently to fend off the assault, spicing it up with various subtle tactical nuances, then trading down into a position that looked dead equal for a while and finally, almost out of f...ing nowhere, Morphy manages to weave a mating net in the endgame.... truly amazing stuff! Harrwitz played really well for most of the game, but I think this was the one that broke him psychologically for the remainder of the match, never to recover from this defeat.
But what if White does ROOK to E7 pinning the Bishop and then of Morphy gives a check he can easily defend with the Bishop. White is up a pawn and if he starts pusing it he just need 4 steps.. Then why did Resign?
10:50 g4, ugly? It takes away f5 from not only the bishop but also the black king, frees up the g3 square for other options to move the king up the board, prevents h4 from black... really, it just seems like a clean draw at worst, with black having no path to progress barring pawn sacrifices to open up a path. It even keeps your pawns in a line, removing your backwards pawn and allowing you 2 options for pushes on the kingside.

How it started: "Oh, it takes very little trouble to beat this fellow"
How it's going: "My opponent is very much stronger than any I have ever met"
Hahahahahaha
and it ends with 'we are worthy of each other'.
"Sometimes ugly is necessary"
I never felt so embraced in this channel. Thanks, agad.
Bruh you're valuable, don't let anyone take you down
sorry to disappoint you but you are not ugly.
one of the most wholesome comment thread i have ever found. you are all kings. keep your head up.
Well, beauty is only meaningful because of ugliness, one can not exist without the other.

I would definitely buy a "Crush Harrwitz again for his great insolence" hoody.
I wouñd buy this instantly
That and "That is a butchers move and Morphy was an artist" (from his Opera game)
People who won't buy this hoodie instantly will be tortured to eternity by playing against Morphy every remaining second of the universe.
Harrwitz probably asked for the break, and kept playing during that time, just so he could make sure he had 295 francs to hand over to Morphy.
Haha that's exactly what he was doing.
Harrwitz: "Mistletoe can be deadly, if you eat it."
Morphy: "A Kiss... can be even deadlier, if you mean it."
I dont even wanna no
And it was in this position that murphy sensually licked Harrwitz's face

I wonder if we’ll ever see a Morphy head for Morphy, would be quite a treat.
Maybe a Fischer head would be appropriate
@@mcdermin Tal head would be better

But... If there was, how could you even tell?
Harrwitz asking for a week break is the 19th century chess equivalent of trying to ice the kicker in American Football.
He said a completely new game and not the position has never been reached again
What are the semantics of that statement? Is he looking at 1869 databases?
Basically the two statements mean the same. Since 1869 to now, that position has never been reached again.

😂 this is exactly what happened with me just now
Harrwitz had Morphy in about 80% of the game, but it was Morphy's brilliancy to trade quick and jump to endgame !
Löwenthal in the chat criticised Morphy’s numerous knight moves but said that overall his play was decent.
"He has to be the best chess player I've ever seen"
"So it would seem..."
Good old Jack Sparrow.
@@BranwellHaworth Captain* Jack Sparrow
It’s almost as if Morphy, by playing the same lines as the 2 games he lost, is telling Harrwitz, “You won only because I let you.”
Harwitz "it takes very little trouble to beat this fellow"
Morphy "and I took that personally"
Morphy was a really a king in his era. He revolutionized chess by his romantic evergreen moves. This is one of such classic tales when too much agression led to scintillating counter-attacks by the legend himself.
Harwitz "it takes very little trouble to beat this fellow"
Morphy "i'm about to end this man's whole career"
I would really be impressed with Morphy's confidence if Harwitz wouldn't win any of his next games.
spoiler alert =)))
He does know what hes doing. Thats why many consider him to be the best to ever play chess @@

Really enjoy the beginner's guide part of agadmator's analysis. Like here he shows how to checkmate with king and rook.
You are just a blessing, Agadmator. Thank you for this awesome saga!
Sounds like it's Harrwitz who's needing his pulse checked all of a sudden.
oh maan
Paul Morphy is the chess Boss and ahead of his time.
Harrwitz is the toughest opponent Morphy has played I feel
I'd say Barnes all the way!!!!
Barnes was probably the most aggressive. Oh that Barnes!
@@thegorn ya Barnes deserves his piece of respect
Amazing win for Morphy! Excited to see the next games in the match

Your Morphy Saga is you tube gold!
That knight move was awesome. Six moves in all from new Zealand to New York.just in the nick of time to save the queen. Brilliant game by morphy.

Morphy knew not to capture the poisoned pawn twice, but Harrwitz snatched a pawn and blundered the game 🤔
Morphy probably went to the toilet to check the engine🤭
He took some of Harmon's pills xD
Didn't know Harrwitz was such a good player.
* didn’t know

2:09 correct me if i am wrong
Should have said'this position has never been reached before'
I hope everyone has a great day/night ☺️

Great video, great saga, keep up the good job!
Find yourself someone who says "but ok" like Antonio for your mistakes
Morphy in this game with a 98.4 PERCENT ACCURACY! Harrwitz with 95%.
Harrwitz gave away the lead on move 24 when he played Ng3, he should've done Qg3.
44. Be2 was a mistake, he should've gone g4
48. Ke1 was a a bad move, he should've gone Bf1
53. Rxc7 was the final straw
Insane
I hope this saga never ends 😔
Video 2 of requesting that we award this Morphy guy the Morphy Head™. He's definitely earned it. His play is brilliant!
Very enjoyable. Thank you.
15:00 Am I missing something?
What happens after Bf1, Rh1, Bd3, Rf7?
I think after Bf1 comes Rb2 and you can't defend Rb1
Enjoyed it!! Good job.
Harrwitz's expression in his photo takes on new meaning as this match goes on.
Awesome stuff
Clicked faster than morphy's comeback!
that thumbbnail is the chess version of complete domination
i wonder how morphy would feel if he was alive and saw how much he is loved in the chess world..!!

Thank you for a great game, and a great analysis. I'm enjoying the Morphy saga very much. Maybe Daniel wanted the delay so he could lick his wounds and win some games to regain his confidence.
Morphy is like a movie hero. He first takes 2 blows just to check how strong the opponent is and then unleashes himself.
I read the title " Nothing can hunt this man".......And I was Indeed true👍
How many games were planned in this competition?
Or was the winner decided by being so many games ahead - maybe 5 games?
The Morphy roar. Agad is a good teacher.
Nothing excites me more than Agadmator's new vid notification hahah
What would’ve happened if Harrwitz played rook f7 before he resigned?? I’m not good at chess but I understand the basics
Hed still lose the bishop with check. Then after Ra2 is threatening checkmate again.
A completely new game? It's over 150 years old.
"Ugly is necessary" felt that
"Sometimes ugly is necessary "-agad 2021

Antonios noti gang shows up
Harrwitz just tell about Morphy to his friends in Cafeteria
He requested 8 to 10 days of rest? Marathon runners don’t need that kind of rest. The 19th century was freakin weird.
Reminds me of the finish vs Barnes (the mate in 8 game?) where Morphy has his king charge the other king and trap him for mate
Please could we have some Capablanca games? Love your channel! Watch every day.

16:15 How about rook to e7 to pin the bishop, and the game continues?
I just want to say that this Harwitz guy is indeed very strong such strong defense after such aggression is indeed impressive
02:17 why he recaptures by H pawn not F pawn? F pawn opens up file for Rook F1
This should be a Netflix series!
I dont get it. bishop f1 and after it play lets say rook e7 as with. How does black checkmate withe or take material?
