This is the story of the birth of modern chess - when the possibilities of chess as an art, a science and a sport all converged.
The point of convergence was a young boy from Louisiana named Paul Morphy. At a time when America was seen as a backwoods nation with little cultural history and even less intellectual impetus, at a time when chess was considered the exclusive property of a few European countries, at a time when the game was played successfully by a handful of men wizened by years, Paul Morphy, in the brief span of 19 months and with seemingly little effort, defeated conclusively every player he met.
While today few non chess players even know his name, he was one of the most famous celebrities of his time and within the hallowed halls of the chess playing community he is considered by some as the greatest chess player of all time.
But this diminutive, unassuming boy rose to fame almost out of nowhere and once he secured his place in history, he retired back into that hazy unknown, shunning the public eye, never again to play serious chess. Not only was he one of great practitioners of the game, but also one of it's greatest enigmas. He's been given the sobriquet, The Pride and Sorrow of Chess.

[@conrado333]

hey agad. I just wanted to thank you. I have been binge watching your Morphy Saga. And because of one "simple" term you used in one of the videos I today made my first brilliant move on chess.com. You said that morphy was forced to trade queens, but yet decided to trade queens on his terms and captured something else first (which then covered his queen) and then traded queens. I was so happy I have been trying for ever to get a brilliant move and now I got it with a move like that that I couldn't have come up with without your comment!

Reading and seeing Agadmator's title and thumbnail is like solving a puzzle.

[@charlieheath1857]

And after the tournament was organised, black was hoping to sacrifice his money for some interesting counterplay for Lowenthal. However, white does not immediately accept the sacrifice. First he captures Kipping blindfolded and only now, as his reputation is adequately defended, captures Staunton. So we have captures captures, and at the end we can see that Lowenthal has the last laugh as he is now up the exchange, but perhaps not the whole laugh as we can see Morphy is now nicely developed and Lowenthal never got an opportunity to threaten him.

I know three names. Kipping James Freeman Alfred Jones and maybe lord Lyttleton,but not sure though.

[@giriiyer3968]

Well, I think it was an eight board blindfold simul!!!

[@giriiyer3968]

Another one is Hugh Alexander Kennedy and one more is William potier.( This I'm not sure though.it was blindfold,but this board I'm not sure) Also agad sir has mentioned the year as 1860, but I think it is 1858,may be 1859. If someone can check the record,it will clear my doubt.

[@streamersclips2372]

Paul Morphy won 79% of his games and drew 8%. No other chess player, from any time period, even comes close.

[@dstreetz91]

While those are amazing numbers the era during which Morphy played is far different from today or even 60 years ago. In 2020 when engines have been crunching basically every opening in the history of chess and people have analyzed everything a whole lot more it's a lot easier to draw a game since grandmasters know what lines are losing for either position.

[@streamersclips2372]

@@dstreetz91 the amazing thing about morphy is that he played remarkable supercomputer moves… the best move… very often and consistently. He did this before computers, and is more impressive in retrospect, the better computers get. The only flaw of his chess play is how bad his opponents are but he destroys them with perfect precision moves . and it s mind blowing i think his talent is incomparable

#suggestion You are the biggest reason why at 34 years old I only now have taken up chess. My games are pretty amateur but I played one recently that had a fair share of excitement.

[@robert82747]

Paul Morphy retired early because he is the pride and sorrow of chess.He knew that, everyone else knew that .

[@pulusukaushikreddy6998]

2:10 Wow! I never realized how strong Lowenthal was. Playing against Morphy makes everyone look weak.

[@giriiyer3968]

He also had two draws against Steinitz, almost winning one. That's on record.

[@honourabledoctoredwinmoria3126]

Morphy was just that good. He destroyed Löwenthal. He destroyed Anderssen, and at that time, either of the two of them could probably destroy anyone else.

[@honourabledoctoredwinmoria3126]

Another way to look at it is that this game was played in a blindfold simultaneous exhibition. Ok, Morphy blundered, and Kipping won. But Morphy managed to beat several OTHER competitors. Garry Kasparov, another guy who could beat practically any grandmaster at the height of his power, wouldn't even play a simul with anyone rated over 2000. Here, Morphy wasn't afraid of any of them, and he managed to score at least two wins against guys who were supposedly professional players. You have to admire the gall of a 20 year old guy who challenges people who have been professional players for 10 or 20 years to exhibition games, and they gladly play him, because they know he is better.

[@giriiyer3968]

@@honourabledoctoredwinmoria3126 I believe after this blindfold simul, Morphy is supposed to have said he was confident he could play a twenty board blindfold simul. I don't know how true that is. I believe he played three blindfold simuls,one in England,one four board in USA,and another in USA, the boards I don't know. And one five board simul (not blindfold mind you,for it would have been humanly impossible even for Morphy) against the best five chess heavyweights,namely,Bird,De Riviere,Boden, Barnes and loewenthal. Won two,drew two and lost one. You can guess the loss. By the way great commentary and well argued. Good day to you sir.

[@giriiyer3968]

Apart from loewenthal, Anderssen also played against Steinitz,the score being 11-11. So you can guess morphy's level of play.
