Wow this game taught me a valuable lesson that sounds like common sense-- that if a move seems intuitive but something is blocking it, look for other ways to divert or attack that piece..

Agad : Find the best move Me : Definitely Rook sac... I am the best Agad : I know all of you must have thought Rook sac it but that's not it

[@gorsla]

If I'm not mistaken, I think the rook sacrifice is possible even without that move Morphy played. For example, if you play rook cptures on h7 and king captures. Then queen h5 with check. King moves to g8, then knight to h6 check. King moves to g7 and then you play rook to f7 with check. Here, black could move the king to h8 but then knight to f5 with check from the queen and black stands no chance. If he protects with his rook then he loses the queen and if he plays king to king to g8 then queen to h7 is checkmate

[@jamesviola7715]

@@gorsla That doesn't work because after Rf7+, black just captures the rook with the queen, and after white recaptures with the knight, the position is winning for black.

Imagine being so strong and sure of your skills that you have to bait some of the best the game has to offer at that moment in history into a match by losing against them, and when you are done pretending, not only claim that your opponent won't win another game, but actually keep your word. No wonder Staunton crapped his pants and never risked it. What an amazing prodigy Morphy was.

[@robideu5008]

Absolutely the best that history has given us.

[@elonweintraub9758]

He had every chance to do what Anderssen did after losing to Morphy and then to Steinitz. He could admit he wasn't the very best player in the world, but he was still very very good. He analyzed his losses learned better endgame techniques, and he became a stronger player than he was before his losses. He stayed the second or third best player in the world until his death, and his opponents only had good things to say about him. Harrwitz chose his path. But, to be fair to Harrwitz, he did actually fall seriously ill when he claimed he had to end the match for health reasons. He wasn't retiring a sore loser.

Pretty amazing as (Wikipedia) the first permanent photoetching was an image produced in 1822 by the French inventor Nicéphore Niépce, but it was destroyed in a later attempt to make prints from it. Niépce was successful again in 1825. In 1826 or 1827, he made the View from the Window at Le Gras, the earliest surviving photograph from nature (i.e., of the image of a real-world scene, as formed in a camera obscura by a lens).
