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.

He said a completely new game and not the position has never been reached again

[@Stevedeth]

What are the semantics of that statement? Is he looking at 1869 databases?

[@shanjidarafahraiyan1972]

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.

[@iykigugu6798]

[@NuclearCraftMod]

@@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".

He does know what hes doing. Thats why many consider him to be the best to ever play chess @@

[@djLagwayEnjoyer]

@@phamtrunghieu1503not 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.

[@Yusuf_K7]

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.”

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.

[@andrewhall7930]

But have you seen the ONLY Chess puzzle Morphy created? Yes it's BRILLIANT. MY FAVORITE puzzle of all puzzles

[@DjVortex-w]

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.)

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.
