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.

Agadmator opens the door and runs back to his setup. Yelena, "He and his chess videos 😊"

[@charlescushing1]

One of the things that makes these videos so pleasurable to watch is that they are not edited. I love how Agadmator vacates his seat to answer the door! I think that, psychologically, we are far more relaxed watching these videos because of this quality.

[@ianmcinerney553]

Ahh the good stuff

[@kitrichardson2165]

The most interesting part for me was when you said that “if Barnes can castle, Queenside, then it’s all over for Morphy and Morphy realizes this” This is what distinguishes Morphy’s play besides his ingenious traps and his aggressiveness, is the fact that all of this happens, just barely a step ahead of his opposition in many situations. He understands that Speed kills and the loss of even one or two tempos In the early game can be catastrophic.

[@JuliusAlphonso]

[@TheHigherSpace]

Nice game, I tried to follow it with an engine, it just shows how chess is different right now .. Basically they went from blunder to blunder... it went from +2.7 to -1.9 at some point (one move).. then from -2.5 to +2.2 , again from one move .. Then I stopped checking and enjoyed the game lol

[@electrowizard9279]

How does this number system work?

[@halfaheartbongobongo]

Sacrifices often play out differently w/ an engine vs a human. Morphy's sacrifices were probably objectively losing for most of the game. But even objectively losing sacrifices can work in human games because with humans there's always a chance that you'll miss one of the lines.

[@TheHigherSpace]

@@halfaheartbongobongo Not on the top level buddy .. maybe me and you are playing .. any 2600+ nowadays would have cleaned this up so fast ... Also read what I said again, it wasn't one bad sacrifice, the bar was going up and down the entire game ..

Hello everyone! And welcome back to the good stuff. We are continuing the Paul Morphy saga. The dog is on the couch and he actually remembered to shut off the speakers under him. At 6:38 he leaves his seat, there is a great action shot of the dog dashing off the couch. He goes to answer the door to his woman at 7:21 she can be seen in the background. There is a strange sound at 9:07.

1:12 morphs misses Nxe5 after f captures qh5+

[@anthonyandrade5851]

@5:38, why mr. Barnes moved the rook? It was a fake attack. Morphy's bishop was pinned and the white queen, ungarded. Why not attack the bishop with the pawn?

[@bproshek]

a good question! If the pawn attacks the pinned bishop, white can just unpin with Qh6+ and black would probably block with Rg7. But then white would have to move the white bishop back. That might be a better position for black!

[@jayteegamble]

@@bproshek And playing Rg7 now prevents white from being able to unpin with check in the future.

Also..love the way you explain the motive behind moves.. keep up the good work

At 1:06...f6 is the only move which protects the e5 pawn and also prevents Ng5! (If allowed then there's no way to save the f7 pawn from falling). A move which even Stockfish recommends in this position.
