 | | chrisowen: Morphy in a huff sinks Lichtenhein a kindred spirit. That bottling the knight 8.Nxc6 chucks up the pawn black grip the edges. I'd have constituted monarch to castle main first priority or Bxc6 the principal. It yearns shucks for an early bath once there's his played 12th. White makes a meal out of it. Looking stale and cold Qc4 teaches him a lesson. Theodore is unhinged in reply would he only castle. Ave time again for 19..Ke7 watch out attacking keepsake Morphy's about and victor storm off. |
|
| Jun-01-10 | | ROO.BOOKAROO: I agree with Richard Taylor. I don't know if it is just me, but I find all those "Morphy games" boring. Analyzing them to death seems such a sterile exercise. As Taylor says, there's always a "naive" opponent who seems to play enough idiotic moves to make Morphy appear brilliant at the moment of estocada. The puzzle game was far more interesting. Did Morphy enjoy playing those games? Probably not, because he grew tired of these "naive" opponents and preferred to drop out. He must have felt he was playing against grown children. |
|
| Jun-01-10 | | Atking: It's not Morphy's fault if these opponents are weak. The fact is he tried to meet stronger opposition and still produced some gems. At the end he even tried hypermodern moves like 1.b3 or 1.f4 to explore others fields than its contemporary romantic approach. |
|
| Jun-02-10 | | kjr63: It is easy to call Morphy's opponents weak, when one understands "development" and they did not. |
|
| Nov-26-10 | | lionel15: When looking at Morphy's games one must remember the chess knowledge about at the time. He was undoubtably the best of his era. |
|
| Mar-30-11 | | SeanBurdine: I'm not a great player by any means but even I can tell that Lichtenhein made a horrendous mistake by not castling when he had a chance. It may not have affected the outcome but it would surely have enabled him to put up greater resistance. |

| Jun-21-11 | | Llawdogg: Zwischenzug! Morphy invents the in between move. |

| Aug-18-19 | | Theystolemymoney: Roo I just love how you insult and compliment morphy at the same time without saying anything. I wonder if adults nowadays think trolling chess forums is an adequate use of time. I think it all depends on annotations, if I had looked at morphy games earlier with proper annotations I might have been a much stronger player. Morphy teaches you the essence of chess, how reason could even if that would occure beat superior intelligence. It's such a beauty. Really what have I missed looking at chess the wrong way. But most authors and even gms do a poor job explaining chess and beauty remains hidden. I Only get bored of poor teachers and bad annotations. Morphy games are a delight to study |

| Jan-10-21 | | paulmorphy1969: la partita corretta e'finita alla 18^mossa,cosi come descritta nel libro di Daniel W.Fiske The First American Chess Congress del 1859 edizioni Olms pg 223 link: https://play.google.com/books/reade...
Alcuni libri come ad esempio Maroczy nella traduzione in inglese riportano invertite la 3^ e 4^mossa e terminano alla 19^ mossa,commette lo stesso errore il il canale Youtube Historical Chess Videos sulla serie dedicata a Paul Morphy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFQ...
Riportata correttamente nel libro di Macon Shibut |

| Jan-10-21 | | paulmorphy1969: the correct game is finished at the 18th move, as described in the book by Daniel W. Fiske The First American Chess Congress of 1859 Olms editions pg 223 link: https://play.google.com/books/reade... DfAKyaxSWSwC & hl = it & pg = GBS.PA223
Some books such as Maroczy in the English translation show the 3rd and 4th move reversed and end at the 19th move, the Youtube Historical Chess Videos channel on the series dedicated to Paul Morphy makes the same mistake
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFQ...
Correctly reported in Macon Shibut's book |

| Apr-20-23 | | Gaito: Some sources give the game conclusion as 19.Qxa8+ Ke7, and White resigned. For example, the book "Morphy" by Dr. Slavko Petrovic, Zagreb, 1971, a book that contains 100 annotated games by Paul Morphy |

Is this already a losing position for White? Black has the two bishops and is well ahead in development, furthermore Morphy was Morphy, so I would wager that Morphy could win this position against Theodore Lichtenhein (or any other player of Lichtenhein's strength) nine times out of ten. The engine, however, says the game is about equal, and the following continuation is suggested: 12.O-O Bd4 13.Nd2 O-O 14.Nc4 Rae8 15.c3 Bxe5 16.Nxe5 Rxe5 17.Qe3 (=), see diagram below:

| Apr-20-23 | | Gaito: In the book that I mentioned in my other comment ("Morphy" by Dr. Slavko Petrovic, Zagreb, 1971,) the opening moves are given as 1.e4 e5 2.Sf3 Sc6 (S stands for knight) 3.d4 ed4 4.Lc4 Sf6 (L stands for bishop). That is a different move order. Which move order was the correct one? |
