After the game, Angry Bird was born

[@-_Nuke_-]

xD

[@mazharghallu6587]

Of course..... but it was real compitition.

[@nathanielpruitt7129]

Another jaw-dropping game by Morphy. Thank you for sharing, Mato!

[@theallseeingmaster]

Morphy is the most entertaining of all, IMHO.

[@reignray1222]

InstaBlaster...

[@-_Nuke_-]

I never knew that you can be that savage by playing the Philidor! Jesus

[@andrewklang809]

As Morphy games go, I gotta give credit to Bird for hanging on this long. Even after he resigned, he was at least ten moves from defeat.

[@electricmaster23]

Morphy was a genius. No doubt about it. What a cool customer. I found most of the critical moves, but I wouldn't have the depth (or balls) to play any of them in an actual game.

[@happyjay]

Bird blundered by deciding to play against Morphy.

[@CasualPrince]

Love Morphy. Please do more, Mato. Thank you as always 👍

[@jandvadams]

Paul Morphy is hands down my favorite player. Please more Morphy videos.

[@toninho7307]

I have to admit Mato:Every time you put the question: What would you do being black? My answer was : I would probably go fishing. Didn't have a clue

[@HollyMartins]

Fantastic game Mato . That Morphy fellow was a kind of - find the best move detector

[@mcmcx5514]

This is considered Morphy's immortal. Great game Mato. Cheers.

[@nevropatholog]

I think that the opera game is more famous

[@giriiyer3968]

Generally before his brilliancy move Morphy makes a move that seems innocuous totally unconnected simple and often goes unnoticed this is the deadly part of morphys plan here the rook move was such a move before the queen sac

[@giriiyer3968]

Henry was the wild bird of chess playing some mad bonkers type of attacking chess and flying high. That is when he came across an absolute savage called Morphy and then he owned him like a pet. That's Morphy for you,the only goat in all of chess history.

[@borkesahin6881]

What a game!!!! My mind has frozen :)

[@arjunsr1338]

No words for thse type of imagination..for me chess me queen..I never even think only even about king...haaa haaa.but after seeing online lecture from I started playing chess little better..any ways tq mato sir.

[@joeyp1636]

Thanks Mato for the Morphy game

[@pradyumnamundhe8643]

Sacrificing the Queen and threatening a rook - bishop mate....even if the names were unknown I could guess it's morphy

[@WAPBodie]

...or Tal :-)

[@giriiyer3968]

Same thing over here after watching so many games of morphy I can recognise a Morphy game from far one just has to tell the crazy move and I can guess morphy is unique

[@jasonz9902]

It was enjoyable searching for those lines thanks Mato!

[@giriiyer3968]

This is the most extraordinary game by Morphy he is a genius

[@onardico]

Morphy series!! 😮

[@ablejack3]

Such a romantic attacker, Morphy.

[@KillberZomL4D42494]

Mato deserve the ads, so I don't skip it.

[@richardfeynman5560]

Another chess miracle by morphy! ;-)

[@brianfansher2427]

I'm pretty proud of myself. I guessed all 3 moves, but in order to do that I had to try to think like Morphy. Maybe I should do that when I'm playing... I'd probably play better.

[@georgewashingtoniv9162]

This game has been heavily analyzed for over a century.

[@sebastianapolo8515]

Morphy was like a human-stockfish, crushing opponents without mercy. Many wish they were half as good as him

[@colinmurphy2214]

Sebastian Apolo not Stockfish, more like Alpha zero

[@richardfeynman5560]

Fantastic! Paul Morphy is playing a move which the average chess player wouldn't even consider and all of the sudden he wins the game! ;-)

[@giriiyer3968]

What a game extraordinary by Morphy he saced his rook his bishop pawn just about everything he had and rook*f2 one of the most beautiful sacs I've seen hand it to morphy no one attacks like him others have ideas he has visions thks mato sir

[@randalcolvin1873]

morphy was running out of pieces. must have thunk it all through. amazing!

[@amyalindaily3781]

Thanks

[@jonfeltman2314]

Opponent strength notwithstanding, there was never a more precise player than Morphy, at least until Fischer came along...

[@benjamindillard2391]

Capablanca was more accurate and more talented than Morphy.

[@muhammetbalc306]

Paul Morphy goth of the chess

[@Cod4Wii]

what a game!

[@headholio]

Chess was more exciting before computers no? The best players now seem to be the best memorizers instead of the most creative and imaginative.

[@markbutler6788]

Qa3!! I sure didn't see that one coming lol...wow

[@giriiyer3968]

Expect Morphy to do the unthinkable just when you are least expecting it. But here is it possible for white to give perpetual check without giving up the queen?

[@tanadihensen73]

Thnks for shqring this, when kingside castling, one should be cautious of this manouevre, ....Rb8, then ... Ba3 or ..Qa3, so should Kb1on time, or it is too late.

[@DarshanSenTheComposer]

Any real chess fan would've seen these games a thousand times. Thanks for the great video!

[@davidbatchelder85]

what an ending, I thought Morphy would loose, down so much material. wow

[@ranasido9983]

Love the fact you play short videos it is less havy please make opening lesson in to you vids

[@Nubian42]

Amazing game MAto

[@rochanpuiaroa2656]

Nice

[@Narafairyy]

👍nice game 😃

[@marielly238]

amazing.

[@Kamislavski]

After Da4+ White made a big, big, blunder with Kb2. Kc1 and game is only draw, there is not win for black.

[@TuanNguyen-to3fx]

If you renamed the video to Tal, it I probably would have been fooled.

[@pankajpitroda2070]

Morphy ....Just Wow

[@user-uj2cq6rd8n]

I think it's a Magnificent game,played by the Pride & sorrow of chess...

[@happyjay]

amazing... with very few pieces, Master Morhpy can mate.

[@user-gi4re7hh5u]

Morphy💪💪💪👏👏❤❤😘

[@brockobama257]

I can't find the 1979 game with "Garbarini" does anyone know who that is or if I'm misspelling the name? Alternative spellings are welcome in the comments.

[@WAPBodie]

Morphy is first incarnation of Tal.

[@frankdick7040]

Ba3 check ... mate ... wow

[@Mariosergio61]

No doubt: Bird was a great chess player . But Morphy was in other level.

[@drmohamedelhakem9903]

Make ur videos longer mato there are many legendary matches that you havent shown yet

[@johnrider2108]

So now we know. Tal practiced necromancy and channeled Morphy.

[@neilwilsonmillet8907]

Man that voice

[@johnrider2108]

Just kidding
