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.

Everyone’s always talking about how quickly agad will review a game after it’s played but it took him over 150 years to get to this one

[@darylallen2485]

Yeah, agad is having difficulty keeping pace. He should have uploaded this at least 149 years ago. 😂

Cut him some slack! He has way too many repairmen knocking on the door for no reason. That slows him down.

@2:21, after whites h3 move, Bxh3 would have been interesting. You sacrifice a Bishop for two pawns, but rip Whites kingside open and gain a passed pawn in the bargain! If Morphy did it after 9) Kh1 it's even better, since then the queen would capture the pawn with check: 8) h3 h6 9) Kh1 Bxh3! 10) gxh3 Qxh3# 11) Nh2 And Black has very much the better of it.
