A Very Different Antagonist || Harrwitz vs Morphy (1858) Game 3

[@chunkz1187]

I remember as a kid I watched Paul Morphy play live in a tournament in Singapore it was a great experience and I got his autograph on a cigarette card. I heard he has retired in the country side of Montana and doesn’t make too many public appearance anymore but he was hilarious on the Jay Leno show circa 1993 who knew he was so funny?

I am so happy by the coverage of this game by Mr. Antonio Radić. Thank you Mr. Radić for your contribution to chess. I remember trying to contain my excitement that night after the game 2 loss against Mr. Harrwitz. From the first two games of the match, I was able to figure out the strengths and weaknesses of Mr. Harrwitz. And so, I knew at what level to perform in the next games (so that I don't "show off"). My personal favorite in this match is Game 4. Please make sure to watch the same people, whenever Mr. Radić uploads them!

[@TruthNerds]

The final move (…Kf3) creates zugzwang… which is not necessary for winning but forces white to give up the f4 pawn immediately: The king can't move or the c2 pawn will queen, so the rook has to move and is unable to keep defending the f4 pawn. Also, it seems a bit simpler to just play Kxf4 after Rh3+. Very nice comeback by Morphy and a great explanation as always!
