The True Greatest King's Gambit Player

[@eliezerferrieri]

Game 3: Paul Morphy vs Bornemann, Paris 1858 .(This game is part of one of 8 simultaneous blind games ).During the second break of the match against Harrwitz, Morphy had his friend Edge organize a feat never seen up to then in Paris and that is a blind simultaneous against 8 strong players of the Café de la Régence. The blind challenge began at 12.30 and ended at 22.30 on Monday 27 September 1858. During the 10 long hours of the simultaneous blind match Morphy played expertly winning 6 games, drawing 2 and not losing any. At the end of the performance it took Morphy about half an hour to leave the club: everyone wanted to congratulate him and shake his hand. The following morning of the blind simulcast Morphy dictated the games he had played to his friend Edge Milnes with many variations. He remembered perfectly the progress of all the matches.

Wow.

[@fretho8410]

Game 5 vs. Rousseau: "With the precision of a surgeon, Morphy plays the only winning move". Morphy makes it seem so effortless. He indeed deserves the accolade of being the strongest player of the 19th Century,

[@eylonhenig]

I think if he played this era he would 10 world champs out of Magnus.

[@jfwlondon6201]

@@eylonhenighe played before computer analysis so its unlikely he would be the best now without having grown up in this era

[@youtubeshypocrisy]

@@jfwlondon6201I’d argue the opposite. If he had access to stockfish analysis he would be more powerful then anyone could imagine.

[@Malcolm.Y]

Morphy is the Bach of chess.

[@robertmac7833]

This video is a dream come true! My favorite opening as played by the amazing Paul Morphy!!

[@IFRSKIES]

Really excellent style of reviewing these great chess games. Wonderful verbal communications and easy to listen to voice, with a pleasant sense of humor, sprinkled into to the mix.

[@ales922]

I always wanted a video covering Paul morphys kings gambit games thanks

[@AmirRezaMashalian]

It is so amazing to watch King's Gambit games. Please do more with this gambit

[@Malcolm.Y]

They should have made Alpha Zero play some KG. But then since Alpha and Morphy are both self-taught, maybe we already know what it would look like.

[@תמירברכוכב-ו2ר]

good explanation, very educates and gives all sort of tactics. I really love this opening, its crushing

[@davidbatchelder85]

great job, over the top. Thank you for your great effort.

[@Axiomatic75]

It's unbelievable just how far ahead of his time he was.

[@jayteegamble]

This is just so dynamic and beautiful

[@lenoravs8161]

at 12:39 if black DOES capture the pawn AND white attacks with rook (as u suggested...) black can take a free bishop?..... essentially winning on material after queenchange... or am I retarded? Qb4 has same outcome..

[@rolfstorz3745]

Thanks so much for that excellent treatment of the King’s gambit! 😊

[@eliezerferrieri]

Game 5: Paul Morphy vs Eugene Rousseau, New Orleans 1849.During 1848-1849,(Paul Morphy who was 11-12) out of over fifty matches Rousseau won a maximum of five and 45 victories went to Morphy. Of all these matches only two recorded survive, both from 1949 both won by Morphy

[@alexmesringer]

13:44 here in game 4, Rae1 in response to Qxe4 doesnt work because the bishop is hanging on c4

[@Dc-kk9bd]

1:30 y was that surprising? A 7 yr old could of thought of that

[@T3x45.m4d3]

Awsome stuff thank u brother

[@SeanRoland-r1q]

I don’t know the first thing about 3D checkers but I love hearing your fancy move descriptions.

[@SammyChess1]

I really like this comment lol

[@shimeles.fetene.MENLIK317]

📍NO WORD TO THANK YOU, SAMMY 📍GREAT LECTURE that READS the MINDS OF CHESS EMPERORS extensively in superb clarity. 📍You sound to be a Descendant of the GREAAATS in CHESS. 📍Keep on, You really EXPLAIN THE CRUX of Every move in Living Language.

[@eliezerferrieri]

Game 1: Paul Morphy vs Theodor Lichtenhein, New York 1857 I give you some unknown details. This match was played at the Denis Hotel and Morphy played blind.

[@yeetyfreety6938]

He said that...

[@eliezerferrieri]

Paul Morphy was the strongest ever of his era and on the king gambit he was stronger than Anderssen. The match against Anderssen ended in favor of Morphy 7 to 2, with 2 draws. the day after the end of the official match, 29 Dec 1858 Morphy and Anderssen played a quick friendly match of 6 games, played in just three hours (defined as the King's Gambit Match) in fact Morphy and Anderssen agreed to play the whole match only King's Gambetti.Morphy won 5 - Anderssen won 1. Anderssen later remarked, "Morphy is too strong for any living player to hope to win more than one game here and there."

[@eliezerferrieri]

@@SammyChess1 Yes, the King's Gambit match between Morphy and Anderssen is very interesting and demonstrates the different style of play. Perhaps the real difference is that Morphy was in a romantic era the first true positional player in history. All the more Anderssen's clever traps had no effect against Morphy's play. Even though Morphy admired Anderssen's style of play.

[@slonjaindustries2245]

Amazing not annoying and professional commentary without too much bs

[@Malcolm.Y]

Maybe you could do a series: Morphy with the Black Pieces. The funny thing for me in the games where Morphy spots his opponent the Queen's Rook is that in a King-Pawn opening that is usually that last piece to get developed, and the game isn't going to last long enough for him to need it.

[@omarscofield6132]

Morphy is a great player. I also like the way how you explain the game. Thanks for the great video !!

[@hsuilungmarcdacascos4079]

Stop thinking as if you're Morphy. He would always find a way to attack the defense you found.

[@harveysanchez7001]

his attack is risky tho. i could win

[@AngrezonKeZamaaneKaTailor]

Location 12:12 May I kow why Bornemann didn't take the free white pawn with his black rook?

[@dongiovanni1678]

My favorite chess player always. Later came Capablanca and Fischer.

[@hchandu3366]

Great video I enjoy alot. I'm writing down the move and I noticed that you few time tell square name wrong. Ultimatly I'm watching and also writing so I correctly noted those move. Waiting for your upcoming video. ❤

[@WorldChessComunity-gh3xx]

Great analysis

[@paulmarsden5999]

Thanks , vey informative, we seem to think the GOATs are all from our time, but this guy was genius

[@iskandarsugi6344]

Thank you so much!

[@felixchien1664]

11:44 why do you say black is moving to “save a hanging rook”? That’s not at all correct as the knight covers it and he moves the rook still into the bishops sight. The point was that after bishop takes queen he could take back with rook

[@jefftaylor1186]

4:50 Qb3 is also mate but not as neat as b3#. That’s what separates the Morphys from the Patzers.

[@Martin_ros]

Thanks!

[@SammyChess1]

Thank you very much for the donation! 🙂

[@ebwholesaler]

Maybe Morphy was born under a chess board !

[@diongding7377]

Doesn't Rae1 lost to Qxc4? The bishop was hanging at 13:40

[@letteracura]

Great video thank you. Morphy was a genius on his own league at chess.

[@josephguarino7555]

At 15:16 isn’t Q h5 just mate

[@BobbyU808]

“Echoes through the halls of chess history!” Not only a chess savant but a poet as well! Shalom

[@StupidusMaximusTheFirst]

That's the thing, for them, it wasn't so much about winning, it was all about winning spectacularly, in an artistic fashion. They would probably be disgusted if someone could tell them that the future of chess is preparing through computers to find the safest grinding process to a draw.

[@ZiroOne-hw7iw]

Can you write the word you said in 12:02 please? Black position what?

Deteriorating.

Delving. Coup de Grace. Wow! Who writes the commentary for you? If you do it yourself, Bravo! Your English is perfect and graceful. I am saying this because I taught English and French in Japan for 35 years and I know what good English grammar is.

[@trout3685]

It amazes me how many moves his opponent could play to step around a trap and they always fall into the hole eventually. Its like morphy sets so many traps each game.

[@JimmyBoosterCrate]

Anderssen is the final boss of romantic chess. Morphy is the secret superboss.

[@legendarychessmatch]

awesome checkmate...royal check or pawn checkmate....very rare

[@rgqwerty63]

I love the pictures you use for his opponents. Paul Ross cracked me up

[@hsuilungmarcdacascos4079]

When Morphy plays chess,the opponents can only play forced moves

[@eliezerferrieri]

Game 2: Paul Morphy vs NN, New Orleans 1856 there are some inaccuracies, in this game Morphy gives the rook advantage a1

Found the last one yay.What crazy games 👍

[@preparedsurvivalist2245]

Morphy clowned that dude in the last game. I love how these masters hang and sac their queens with such ease. It must be so disheartening for the opponent to see that across the board, knowing only bad things are coming their way.

[@perryutanis1600]

I played kings gambit with 60 % success I want to be surgeon like Paul Murphy someday

Excellent expln gag

Whats your rating

[@Ammyai]

Wow! amazing chess by Morphy!

[@Alan-megan]

I can watch this all day…. 😮😮😮😂😂😂

[@michael2244]

Paul Morphy was like LeBron James in his prime playing basketball with kids from high school

[@MislavIvkovic-sx8vd]

Spaski was also great King gambite player

[@jefftaylor1186]

It’s funny. When I’m “feeling romantic” and I don’t care about winning; I play the Italian or the kings gambit even though I don’t know much theory on them. I just do what morphy would do. And I crush people.

[@StupidusMaximusTheFirst]

While you do need to comment the games, I wouldn't be so sure to claim that an attack is somehow "wrong" or that the defender could easily defend with this or that move. Says who? An engine? Or even that he "didn't see it". He did. Problem is, he also could see things your engine can't, nor a modern boring player. So really, there is no point any of us trying to evaluate their play, we cannot be them, it's a different era, for better, or for worse in the case of chess. If anyone is learning something through their games, fine, comment and exchange ideas, if you gonna evaluate them, better stay silent. Although I understand, you have a youtube channel to run.

[@harrisbobroff9813]

Thanks, can you find a counter to the Kings Gambit there is one i believe.

[@samuelallred2058]

Joseph smith?

[@JohnSmith-un9jm]

Since meek was only about a 1600 rated player, it was easy for morphy to defeat him.

[@jamesdelb6885]

chess is a brutal game on the highest levels.

[@IMAHMS]

Paul Ross looks suspiciously identical to Paul Murphy 🤔

[@donkbonktj5773]

The true GOAT

[@jmadratz]

Your analysis is way off base from reality. Here’s stockfish analysis on some of the most egregious moves by both players. And by the way, you can’t call Morphy the greatest Kings gambit player based on this terrible game by him. ------------------ Stockfish 16.0 analysis at depth=25, and delta rating dR = R(i+1)-R(i) ---- where i is move number [- dR] means black ad [+ dR] means white ad (i. Ww) White move (i. …Bb) Black move --------------- 1:25 : [+1] (8. …Bh4) 1:36 : [-2.6] (9. O-O) 1:46 : [+1] (9. …pxp) … 2:13 : [-5.6] (11. Ne5) 2:39 : [+5.1] (11. …Nh6) … 2:52 : [-2.6] (13. Qh5) … 3:35 : [+12.3] (17. …Bd7) 3:47 : [-2.5] (18. RxB) 3:54 : [+2.4] (18. …Kc7) 4:32 : It’s mate in 4 that any high school chess player can easily find. Your analysis is blinded by your apparent love of Morphy, but as the Stockfish analysis shows, almost the entire opening moves are a series of miscalculations by both players, of which to fail to tell your subscribers and viewers. You seriously need to tie your analysis with the stockfish engine analysis, otherwise you will continue to give out bad analysis like in this case. The best iPhone chess app is Smallfish which runs the latest Stockfish engine. It’s free. Get it. Analyze the games using it. Then make your videos. That way you can be sure of giving your viewers good analysis.
