[@misternewoutlook5437]

Just seeing how badly outplayed Lichtenhein is in this game is quite stunning. The players in this tournament were mostly all strong masters of the era and Morphy was far beyond them. Even Anderssen, whom I consider the de facto World Champion of his time (not Staunton), looked far below the standard of Morphy. That's saying a lot because Anderssen was one of the great players in his own right.

[@COBRA-rq1ig]

Um Staunton was better. Anderssen was more romantic and aggressive, but Staunton was better

I started playing chess because of my friend and he used to just crush me with his queen so early in the game and i couldnt even defend against that. I was terrible, but then i got hooked to your channel and been watching you for like 3 months now pretty much every day. How the tables have turned, he doesnt wanna play against me anymore because i crush him :D I'm climbing to 1800 elo on lichess all thanks to you. You made this game fun for me. Your videos are so entertaining and clean. Clearly a lot of effort put into them and your analysis, showing different variations of moves with detail is just excellent and very informative. Thank you so much!

I'm rated 2000+ in all time controls. I would love to see him chase my pieces early in the opening with his queen. There is always a bigger fish! lol

[@northlord804]

8:43 knight to g8 looks very interesting here too. It seems creushing bc you can pin queen on king after the queen checks on f7, if king just moves the pin is still there, the checks forcing black to lose queen or the game.

[@tonimarusic7443]

Finally the good stuff is back!

[@celestia9737]

Agadmator sir , why didn’t Morphy play Qa4+ on move Ba5 5:34 . The black knight cannot move to c6 to defend the bishop and the check as the queen would be attacked and Qa4+ just wins the black bishop. Plz do answer

[@enzomarigomen7044]

Morphy, as great a player as he was, always seemed to NOT go for the kill when he had the chance. I don't know if this was considered gentlemanly, or whether it was a product of the style at the time, or whether it was just a hole in his game, but I am intrigued by how often you point out mate lines that Morphy did NOT follow.
