why morphy is so special? why Agad showing the morphy saga? pls tell me

[@rldb]

Unlike any modern memorised chess games, Morphy games are really easy to follow and even to remember. So were the games of Capablanca. The originality of brilliance and over the board ideas make them such real gems ❤️

[@JohnSearleFangirl]

Just so you know, our excellent Cuban friend was called José Raúl Capablanca being one word at the end : )

[@Hibarioozora7777]

Yeah, because Morphy games are not modern master level

[@Osirion16]

@@Hibarioozora7777 Eh, debatable. Opening theory wasn't as advanced, put a master of today's chess into an even midgame against Morphy and the master would stand no chance

[@rldb]

@@JohnSearleFangirl Thank you, updated.

That’s why I love morphys games, much simpler than modern games but far more brilliant.

#suggestion Please keep making any future sagas like this one. We do not mind at all that you make them so detailed and that they run over the course of one, two, or three years. They are sagas and sagas are meant to be long and epic. Shortening them and presenting only the best games of a particular player would really make them lose so much, particularly concerning the narrative aspect that is so educational and enjoyable!

[@davidanderson_surrey_bc]

Well said.

[@jayteegamble]

Agree 100%. It's the saga that puts the games in context that makes this so cool for me. Also I feel like we've gotten to watch chess itself evolve.

[@sahilmahajan5237]

I 100% agree as well, i wouldn't mind a morphy saga that lasts a year or two :)

“First, then, Paul Morphy was never so passionately fond, so inordinately devoted to Chess as is generally believed. An intimate acquaintance and long observation enable us to state this positively. His only devotion to the game, if it may be so termed, lay in his ambition to meet and to defeat the best players and great masters of this country and of Europe. He felt his enormous strength, and never, for a moment, doubted the outcome. Indeed, before his first departure for Europe he privately and modestly, yet with perfect confidence, predicted to us his certain success, and when he returned he expressed the conviction that he had played poorly, rashly; that none of his opponents should have done so well as they did against him. But, this one ambition satisfied, he appeared to have lost nearly all interest in the game.” - Charles de Maurian

I think this same observation can be made towards Fischer.

I'm not sure where you're getting #4 from - Edo has him at #3 in 1858, Chessmetrics has him at either #2 or #3 depending on the month - but I do agree with your point. He was arguably the strongest player in the world, after these two gentlemen. His analysis was probably the best you would get at the time.

[@BinaryRex18]

@@steakanator7236 oh my bad, yes he peaked at #2. I'm not sure whether he was the strongest after these two though(Staunton and Harrwitz come to mind).

@@BinaryRex18 I can agree with Harrwitz, less with Staunton - I think he was arguably past his prime 10 years prior. I think regardless, the other 4 men certainly made up the top 5 in the world, which makes Morphy's steamroll of them all the more impressive.

[@williamgoss4691]

I would have thought that, at this stage of the game, a Q for two Rooks won’t necessarily be the end of the road. White could only get one Check and then Black could block or move to an uncheckable position; certainly not a winning position unless Black contrived to get a Rook on White’s back rack, but Morphy is light years from falling for such simplistic manoeuvres // Great Game. The tables begin to turn, slightly. Thanks Agad.

I don't mean to be rude but just calm down. It makes wonders for me. I usually just look for attacks and what I can do, I am quite impatient myself. So calming down and playing slowlier helps me taking a look at what the opponent can do. Tactics will help you with your brain power calculations and learning theory and the reasoning behind will help you filter more efficiently through good and bad ideas.
