No computer, no old games to study and Morphy still can think this. He is indeed the pride and sorrow of chess.

Depends on context. Since 'Beatdown' is a black term, it only gets used if the opponent has been disrespectful..Andersson wasn't whereas Harrwitz got the living beatdown, broken down to his very last compound..Staunton sidestepped a worse fate. Fischer ground Petrosian down but retained mutual respect for Spassky. Cool if you disagree so long as you keep enjoying chess!

This letter was written by Adolph Anderssen in Breslau to Heyderbrandt Von der Lasa in Brazil exactly one year after Anderssen's match with Morphy. As it's a private letter, Anderssen expresses himself freely. This can be compared with Max Lange's letter to Anderssen in December of 1858, prior to the match. Breslau, December 31, 1859. Mr. Von Heyderbrandt V. der Lasa Minister Resident [Rio de Janeiro, Brazil] Dear Sir: My most deep-felt thanks for sending me your latest work with which you again presented me in such a friendly way. Even without your intention of dropping on the unsteady scales of public recognition which now so decisively tends in the direction of the transatlantic master, a counter-weight in favor of German chess mastery, your "Erinnerungen" [Lasa on historical chess, published 1859 -Lawson] will produce this effect since the games recorded therein are preferable to the Morphy games in which faultless accuracy can, after all, be found only on one side of the players on account of their being correctly played by both parties. I fully agree with your opinion on Morphy as well as your disapproving of German chess vanity. You are perfectly right: the Berlin Club should have acted with the dignity of a chess academy whose duty it would have been to bring forward the talent and to support it rather than to behave nobly and show coldness and lack of esteem. If the necessary steps had been taken at the right time, Morphy very likely could have been induced to travel to Berlin. Later, however, when there was already talk about arranging a meeting between him and myself in Paris, he declined an invitation actually extended by the Leipzig (and Breslau) Club under the pretense ["because of" is probably the intended meaning here] his having to return home in the near future. Whether you yourself who for years have kept aloof of all chess activities, could have fought the American victoriously without further preparations, may, of course, be doubtful. Notwithstanding, your strong self-criticism cannot possibly refer to your proper and true strength which, in order to be revived, needs only some exercise. In any case you have evaluated correctly the miraculous talent of the foreign master. I not only believe that deeper combinations and brighter sparks of genius are at Morphy's disposition than were at Labourdonnais', but that in infallible calculation and soundness, he even surpasses the latter. He who plays with Morphy must not only renounce every hope of concealing even the subtlest traps, but he must also start with the idea that Morphy will clearly see through all, and there can be no question of a misstep. On the contrary, if you see Morphy make a move that, at first glance, seems to yield you a chance to get some advantage, examine it carefully, because you will find that it is correct and that trying to take advantage of it will lead to disaster. But most fatal, when opposed to him, is overconfidence on account of a better position and a strong attacking game. I cannot describe better the impression that Morphy made on me than by saying that he treats chess with the earnestness and conscientiousness of an artist. With us, the exertion that a game requires is only a matter of distraction, and lasts only as long as the game gives us pleasure; with him, it is a sacred duty. Never is a game of chess a mere pastime for him, but always a problem worthy of his steel, always a work of vocation, always as if an act by he fulfills part of his mission. To the fight with me he gave also outwardly such a strict appearance of solemnity, that it took away from it entirely the character of a gay occupation and it had as far as I am concerned something oppressing, I would almost say strangling. The onlookers were forced to abstain even from the slightest whispering - something unusual which to me was all the stranger as I am not aware of having been ever disturbed, during the game, by those surrounding me by any act of conversation (except barking of dogs and crying f children). It goes without saying that he himself likewise during a game does not utter any sound other than Schach, to wit, really Schack, not Scheck, as the English players say. His figuring is, in general, not of remarkable or even tiring duration: he always takes as much time as such a tireless and experienced thinker requires depending on the position, but never makes the impression of useless and tormented pressure or stress - an impression I occasionally had with Staunton. And in addition, he sits there with his face so lamb-pious as if he wanted to convey the impression that he could not do any harm to a child; but when he executes a move with an expression so really harmless and pretending tiredness, one can always presume that he is just preparing the greatest meanness. Altogether, he is not only a great chess player but also a great diplomat and all maneuvers which he inaugurated in reference to me since his arrival in England had not other purpose than to lure me to Paris and to burden me with the inconvenience of the trip. Likewise, I admired from the very beginning as a very tactful diplomatic maneuver that he took to his bed when I arrived in Paris, and I have never changed my mind about that. For that much I can assure you of: he did respect both of us, you as well as me, and not a trifle at that. If I say did, i.e., Parfait defini: perfection praeteritum, this of course only applies to myself, what the bell has tolled. Incidentally, I am not sorry about my trip to Paris, in fact I have already announced my return there during the Easter vacations and have fixed irrevocably time and hour of my arrival. Let us hope that then, when passing through Berlin, I shall have the pleasure, to meet you, dear Sir, in person, and then I could add quite a lot, which can be better said than written, to my short communication about Morphy Very truly yours your obedient A. Anderssen

Morphy was clearly ill the first two games, his play was pedestrian. Not to minimize Anderssen's brilliant play those games, but Morphy failed to see threats or to deal with them. This game he played flawlessly; nothing brilliant, but he saw and dealt perfectly with all of the threats, and he didn't miss his own attacking possibilities. Not really a great game in the sense of both players playing well; first Anderssen blundered away his own queen and his attack collapsed, and then he trapped his own bishop in the corner. (Oddly, Morphy permitted it to escape -- I don't understand why.)
