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.

I can’t imagine Barnes missed Nxe4-it just seems crazy to me that someone at Barnes’ level could overlook such a tactic. Maybe Barnes saw that Morphy could relieve tension by trading the Queen for Knight+Rook, and thought this would be letting Morphy off too easy? Either way, very strange!

[@chappo8100]

i think he just wanted to have fun like morphy giving up the xchange. no huge prizes back then

My feeling is he didn't want to go into a line where it would take a long time of playing accurately to win. I think he decided to try to keep improving positionally.

[@jamesoneil9132]

Maybe he was just playing for attrition until the late game? He was ahead and could more easily choose his trades, I'm guessing he was just cautious.

You don't find what you are not looking for.

After the couple of seconds I thought about the same idea than Barnes with the bishop. It just seems nice, I think it's because it forces your opponent to react to your moves. In comparison, playing the knight doesn't force Morphy to capture it.

Hey thanks for all of these videos they've taught me a lot about chess. I went from being terrible to just now check mating my chess app on lvl 7/10 (elo 1526) in 32 moves. Definitely my personal best. I'll definitely keep watching and learning. #captures-captures :)

Man.. Barnes is full of surprises!

I find it absolutely marvellous that each passed pawn of Barnes's exploited the same weakness he would have had if he went for the g2 move - his pawns promote on BLACK squares! There's no way Morphy would have had time to fix deal with the two of them all at once! What beauty are these games!

That no-reverse-gear Barnes is a madman!
