There was actually a player with the name "the black plague" who was a fierce attacker. A Mikhail Tal before Tal existed.

[@elasiduo108]

Great game!. Barnes is a very good example of an all-out romantic era player. He immediatly goes all in with an attack, no matter the cost. He attacks with the Knight and gets some material advantage, but Morphy is only concerned with developing his pieces, which, in the end, is the soul of modern chess. Going all in is nice and all, and it's very entertaining, but it's very, very dangerous against an opponent who's only concerned with putting his pieces in the best places. That's why I think Morphy greatest advice reflects the essence of his game: "Help your pieces, so that your pieces can help you".

[@hideentity1518]

Total agree. I Couldn't describe it better. Barnes forget to connect his pieces. Its like he taking them to a one way journey. I like this play style but as you said its really dangerous.

[@TheGreyfoo]

Excellent game, and excellent story too, thanks Agad - I very much like the way you've embossed the character of Morphy, Barnes et al. I imagine (from your narration) Barnes as a gruff, aggressive player who crushes opponents but also the first to clap you on the back in delight for being able to defeating him. "My, MY, Mr Morphy, you're a devilishly smart fellow! Good work man, good work! Again?" * produces pipe *
