Jul-26-07 | | unixfanatic: 11. ... Bxe5 and I'm not sure White has compensation. Despite the intimidating appearance, after 11. ... Bxe5 12. Bxf7+ Ke7 and there doesn't seem to be any concrete way for White to get ahead. 12. Qh5 also doesn't seem to win. Does someone have a refutation to this? |

Jul-10-08 | | HannibalSchlecter: Go Morphy! Go Morphy! When I see Morphy's games each move contains so much energy that it seems that with each turn he is getting to play two moves in a row. |

May-14-09 | | WhiteRook48: Lichtenhein knows how to lose in style |
|
Dec-25-09 | | notyetagm: Every Morphy game is a <TACTICAL TOUR DE FORCE>. |
|
Mar-25-11 | | Llawdogg: 26 Bd2+! is an amazing deflection sacrifice. Morphy pulls the black queen into position for his knight to fork the opposing king and queen. However, he never collects the queen because he has checkmate coming instead. And this was a blindfold simultaneous exhibition against the third best player in the country. Amazing! |
|
Mar-25-11 | | joupajou: Many of these old games resemble the good ole Brazilian football: it's not just a goal, but a beautiful goal that matters. 26.Bd2+ is like a heel pass to a guy that's in a far better scoring position. Beautiful. |
|
Jul-21-15 | | ninja warrior: another awesome game from my favorite player. |
|
Jul-21-15 | | RookFile: Wonderful play by Morphy. Did I understand that he played this blindfolded? Remarkable. |
|
Jul-21-15 | | kevin86: As usual against Morphy, you can run but you can't hide. |
|
Jul-21-15 | | thegoodanarchist: Absolutely stunning play by Morphy. Having the nerve and foresight needed to castle behind a destroyed pawn structure as he did is yet another testament to his ability. |
|
Jul-21-15 | | tivrfoa: what to play after 24. ... Rb8??? |

|
Jul-23-15 | | tivrfoa: <ketchuplover: 25.Rc1 perhaps> Thank you! =) Yes, it's very strong. |
|
Jan-23-16 | | talhal20: I can't imagine the present grand masters playing like Morphy even with lesser opponents. |
|
Jan-23-16 | | ughaibu: Have you looked at Blackburne's short games? http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches... Or Tal's? http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches... Or Kasparov's? http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches... |

I think there are a couple of Morphy games like this where the King hides behind an enemy pawn. |

17 Nc3 is technicaly losing for White:
It seems Bxg5 and black can defend resourcefully: Paul Morphy - Theodore Lichtenhein, New Orleans 1857

Apr-25-21 | | paulmorphy1969: Llawdogg: you write
And this was a blindfold simultaneous exhibition against the third best player in the country. Amazing!

In many books including lawson give it as a normal game, not blindly, you talk about a simultaneous you have information about it 'thanks |

 | | louispaulsen88888888: Morphy is playing a blindfold exhibition, so as one previous commenter noted, you don’t just want to win, you want to entertain the crowd. You might also play technically unsound moves on the assumption your opponent is not going to find the correct defense. |
|
Jul-26-21
 | | louispaulsen88888888: Morphy is playing a line similar to the Three Pawns Gambit line of the Cunningham Defense. |
|

 | | MissScarlett: I very much doubt this game was blindfold, but I think it can be ruled out entirely that it came from a simultaneous blindfold display. |
|
Sep-24-21 | | LearningH: Amazing. As natural a development and domination as seeing nature in its fury. |
