When Morphy Bluffs, You Run! || Thompson vs Morphy || Game 2 (1857)

[@boxingjerapah]

Sees its a 7.44 min video. Fears for James Thompson's life.

[@thinboxdictator6720]

he gave up chess in 1870 got angry and now he is into MMA

[@rob4419]

Hahahahaha

[@QBziZ]

... and from this point on, we have a completely old game.

[@CasualPrince]

God I love it when a Morphy game vid drops.

[@jeremyhulbert3343]

Thompson: Well, at least this game will never be viewed or commented upon by anyone ever again. Agad: Hold my nice sip of water

[@dogknees9903]

oh yeah agad, providing us with the G O O D S T U F F

Why is there a fat chicken underneath Tal's head

[@lukecash3500]

I think it's a chocobo?

[@mysteryGuySaysHi]

Tal liked eating Chicken after he won a match.

[@CommanderFoxTV1992]

@@mysteryGuySaysHi i mean... some wings after a good game... That sounds perfect to me!

[@dertyp6833]

For me it's the fat chocobo from FFIV

Winner winner....Chicken dinner :p

[@Lak1148]

And it is as of this time that i stop sleeping to watch agadmator’s completely new video

[@xixo4798]

Hahaha got ya

[@unseenclips6448]

Good 1

[@davidanderson_surrey_bc]

Thompson: I'll show this young whippersnapper from New Orleans how the game is really played. Morphy: Hold my law degree.

[@thealgeriantank2587]

- No one: - #Agadmator whenever the Italian game is on the board: They should've played the Evan's Gambit! what a shame!

[@trylegend7979]

Only when black play Bc5, white can go for the Evan's

[@abhi_shek1196]

I know the game is gonna be a masterpiece when I hear "The Good Stuff" 🤗🤗

[@GiorgoMas]

From the fact that Thompson played NG1, instead of capturing with the Queen, probably shows this wasn't their first match. He had his respect.

[@devin6935]

I like how KZbin's notification came when I was already watching the video.

[@kawaiinekochandesu5375]

I'm so early the title is still 2020 02 20 13 34 16

[@BuggatiWeryon]

before it was about bluffing and running

[@stanislavgalev9458]

Morphy:offers a free pawn which will also improve the opponent’s position Thompson:starts sweating uncontrollably

[@robya.2223]

Very good stuff! Grazie Antonio, ciao!

[@kirkstable]

Taking a break from The morphe Saga to tell about the Blindfolded morphe game makes agad like the Marvel comic of telling truly great chest sagas

[@frankcyrill9266]

Just wanted to say I really enjoy your channel and have just finished the Fischer/Spassky match as I watched them everyday when I was 15. !! Keep up the good work .!!

[@sneamer1282]

First time I'm waiting for your next saga video daily. Morphy is hands down my all-time favorite.

[@nonchablunt]

on 02.20.2020 living chess youtube legend agadmator releases an 1857 beauty. not even 170 years old, perfectly preserved, very nicely presented before our eyes. chess notation allowing anybody, at any time, in any way, to enjoy this game. fischer used to read games from the newspaper. no other sport i know of, has perfectly preserved games that you could watch in UHD today or read from the palm of your hand.

[@m550x6]

Why I cant sleep without viewing your channel... I just enjoyed it...

[@rickelmonoggin]

Am really enjoying your coverage of the First American Chess Congress. This Paul Morphy seems like a really promising player.

[@ShifuCareaga]

It's important to realize that wasn't a blunder, that was the power of Morphy compelled him to go backwards and not attack. A real blunder is a brain fart type mistake. Morphy bent him to his knees. Impressive. 56% accuracy vs 96% That's a wholesale slaughter.

[@hellvln]

Back to see THE GOOD STUFF

[@bboyhoyack]

Putting your thumbs over his sidehair makes Morphy go from haircut from past to Friends' cast.

[@SquinkyThreepwood]

Wow, it actually works. Makes a huge difference.

[@maverickstclare3756]

that's a very astute observation Mr Euwe

[@hamakarim9542]

I am always so hyped for your videos !

[@andrewptob]

Thompson is like "What is this sorcery?"

[@leyubar1]

Once every third blue moon, when the wind blows from the West and the cockerel crows three times in the garden of my enemy I get one of the questions right. Take the pawn, block with the bishop... Today was one of those days...

[@eysii5378]

Please include the gambit advantage and disadvantage.

[@Wolfeson28]

Is there any information on whether the players always alternated colors in these matches? If so, it should be easy to figure out which game was the first or second of the match just by looking at who had which color in game 3.

[@victorAPR96]

I miss the multiple uploads a day :(

[@hara3239]

At 3:36 why wasn't knight to e4 played?

[@Zeus-gc7lp]

#suggestion agadmator description of the video states it's Sicilian...I think so it the game of last video...change it buddy..!!!✌️✌️

[@jeremymeyer5552]

Every time he says this position was never reached again I usually had a blitz game that resembles it.

[@UpperCrustthe3rd]

Just curious - are there any games on your channel where Morphy loses? I'd like to see that!

[@vikramsrinivasan8176]

I would have gone for the rook immediately but Morphy moves his bishop!

[@samyachakraborty263]

you are a part of my life agad

[@jasper5016]

Its so sad that we dont have lots of photos of Paul Morphy.

[@bhallaladeva5676]

What's 13 34 16 in the video title?

[@sozibrahman8504]

#suggestion Hey agadmator, big fan of you. Can you please show a game of Gideon Stahlberg Bronstein vs Stahlberg, 1950 Aron Nimzowitsch vs Stahlberg , 1934 Hence these olds are golds. Big fan of yours.

[@WilliamJonesChess]

01:12 Ne2 to Ng3 is a quick way to re-route the N to the kingside. We normally see this in the Spanish Nb1-d2-f1-g3 when the R has moved from f1 to e1 after castling. 02:30 Perhaps Ng8 to head to e7 to prepare f5. I guess Morphy may play Nh7-g5. 03:30 Calling Morphy's bluff: Can you take on e4? But it looks so risky! I would have played Nd4 to return a pawn in this way then castle next move and Be3. A good strategy to bluff your opponent in a complex middlegame. 04:41 Yikes! Ng1! Never play this move in a game. It is just such a negative move. Unless it is Nepomniachtchi vs MVL in the h3 Najdorf where re-routing Ne2-g1-f3-g5 is a possible plan Here is the Game: Nepomniachtchi, Ian (2714) 1-0 Vachier Lagrave, Maxime (2758) Beijing Sportaccord blitz 2-0 To Morphy

[@ChesswithSuyashinMarathi]

very nice game by Morphy, thank you agadmator.............

[@larryverona3087]

Nice game,,

[@MPecena]

Why not 14. Nh4 - threatening a checkmate and a fork on g6? Also, as a response to 14. Qxe4, wouldn't it be best to pick up the pawn on f5 and play 14. ... Bxf5 - only threatening to pin the queen with the rook (but properly this time)?

[@giriiyer3968]

When it comes to slow moving positional and defensive games without too many quick exchanges especially when morphys is playing black he is a meticulous planner he places his pieces so beautifully for the final assault

[@sergensen3330]

Why he didnt took the pawn with g3 knight. It would come with a tempo on c5 bishop...

[@sergensen3330]

@sdgagd fsafasdf u can always defend it without losing some. Only losing pawn.

[@iykigugu6798]

@sdgagd fsafasdf kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaW6e4ysd5WhiK8

[@jiriblahos4051]

Why not capture the e4 pawn with the knight? 5:15 or even before

[@connorquill4282]

Luck of the Irish truly is one of a kind but with Morphy it is by design !!!

[@Mornepin]

How do you know that "this is a completely new game" ? Is there something recording all the games played on Earth, including those that I play with my friends ?

[@wewzland3646]

Why is it that in the description it is called sicilian defense?

[@ebrahimnajafi6863]

Love that games without clock, just enjoy chess

[@asperto3110]

Why can't Thompson take the E4 black pon with the knight ? Threatening the undefended bishop on C5 ? To me it was the way to go but you didnt talked about it, did I missed something ? Nice video anyway

[@Tengo25]

I respect what you did personally for me Antonio, you made me fell in love chess more and I am improving every time, I started to pick up such thing as 'tactical thinking' while making decisions. During my games, I often hear your voice inside my head how i could choose my next move. And in this position I want to thank you for your contribution as there is nothing else to do here. For those of you who just want to enjoy the show the right move is liking my comment as you all feel the same. peace out .

[@davictor24]

I literally clicked immediately I saw the notification, and there are already 168 views :(

[@FreshThanatos]

I really want to suggest a game from the European Rapid Championship 2019 round 01 - Aizenberg, Benny - Guseinov, Gadir Just a little kid who beat a 2600 GM with first a bishop sacrifice and then even a Queen sacrifice. An wonderful upset game.

[@hanshansen4758]

#suggestion

[@ribbonsofnight]

Not a real queen sacrifice though just a clickbait sacrifice

[@FreshThanatos]

@@ribbonsofnight In my eyes its still a really nice game because of gm 2600 vs little kid who was something around 2100 or so. So its still a big upset with at least a bishop sacrifice and then a wonderful queen move. And the thorn pawn was nice as well :p

[@nandikorossy4684]

Nice game!

[@binyaminsfez4450]

Who is better? Morphy or magnus?

[@GlorifiedTruth]

Thompson showed that good looks don't carry you far in chess.

[@yarofromyengo2878]

What if Ng3 captures on e4 and galloping at the dark square bishop????

[@raedien]

Amazing

[@saulsavelis575]

that was quick

[@MClilypad]

Not really a chess expert but what happens if you capture with knight at 3:36?

[@dannygjk]

Well ...Bxf5 looks strong. White's knight will be pinned against his queen and next move Black might play ...Re8 putting more pressure on White's knight and pinning it against White's king. It looks bad for White. Even if White castles after ...Bxf5 then both ...Re8 and ...Nf6 could be coming. I don't see how White can avoid losing a piece.

[@MClilypad]

@@dannygjk thanks for your response. That does indeed not lead to better situations

[@dannygjk]

@@MClilypad yw yeah I think white is already in big trouble at that point even without capturing the pawn.

[@Lacainam]

Can anyone who knows more about chess than me answer this: when he says "this position has never been played again" is that because better positions are available or because people have studied this game and so would know how to play it?

[@redoarceneaux1203]

wait has agad posted game 1?

Hello #agadmator I like your videos very much. I'm an excellent subscriber for almost 2 years. Can you please make your analysis between 15-20 min. long? I'm always eating while watching you. And after 8 min. I'm not finished with eating. Then it's hard for me to find a worthy video. Thank you. #suggestion

[@anishswamy798]

Why not knight to e4?

#suggestion Vidit Gujarathi vs David Navara Prague Masters

[@craxanshards3139]

What would happen if all the games were drawn?

[@ithinkthonkthunk5333]

Without a doubt, Morphy made Thompson’s death slow in this game. Showing a little who’s boss after the first game was close.

[@zstanojevic9574]

The probable reason for engine preferring Morphy's move is because it uses database aaaand.. you guess who had won

[@douggieharrison6913]

mator i would love your clothing product but could maybe you reach out to someone on the channel who could help you design one that's a little more fun than white text on a black canvas haha like some chess pieces, your face, you name, etc. I would love to rep your channel

[@giriiyer3968]

I think Morphy's reputation preceded him wherever he went in the later stage of his career so opponents started with a mental block against him many times he blundered yet won people read something more into his blunders even iif there was none so you could say he could get away with murder this is not to take anything away from his genius though he was an artist the best imho love him

[@trevorritchie2575]

After 13. de4 de4 Why not 14. Ne4?

[@queenmashupsgaming4259]

Well, I actually managed to spot a beautiful way morphs could have ended the game. Instead of qxh1 or rad8+, I actually found bg4. Do whatever calculations you want, this is leading to checkmate, and with great style

[@sixjhontongalamar979]

However at 3:09 Morphy really can't capture on f5 because after Nxf5 Rxf5 white has d4 attacking both the Bishop and the rook.

[@codyl8757]

The Evans gambit

[@bassam.2023]

After queen to h3, why not knight to f1?

[@stevenconn2964]

Morphy is definitely using an engine. No doubt. Probably in his lipstick tube.... 😂

[@IkramKhan-pv5vm]

Why not take pawn at 5:07

[@panda4247]

Are you sure that it was a Bluff? Did Morphy really calculate it? Do you have it in the source?

[@khaledgirgirah1814]

I agree, it was not a bluff, if Queen took the pon, rock to E8 will gain morphy the queen, or am I missing something?

[@kirkmason7079]

Why capture the pawn with the Queen. Why not capture pawn Nxe4?
