Ehh it's fine to feel bad for the guy. Chess is of sufficient complexity to make an intelligent man look foolish. Before chess engines, he was considered very knowledgable. It's just that engines have disproven many of his analyses. It's incredible when you realize that humans have analyzed chess for more than a millenium, and a couple computer programs have far surpassed our understanding of chess in just a few decades.
@@NLTops Yes we cant even calculate closely to a computer, the best a human can calculate is probably 20-30 moves and that’s extremely hard just for one line.
@@somebody700 Well I think (feel free to correct me) but the reason computers are limited by human analysis with things such as material value and candidate moves is simply because if they tried to calculate every single line all the way to mate they'd be just as pathetic as us mortals in many ways
@@somebody700 I'm sorry, but it's very clear from what you said that you don't understand how modern chess engines work. The engines aren't influenced by human analysis of chess. Sure, people made the AI and designed its architecture. But it got as good as it did by playing chess against itself millions of times and many generations. And if you've ever seen the Alpha/Stockfish games on this channel...you'd know they think more "out of the box" than any human ever could. Because they can literally see dozens of moves ahead.so they make these weird moves that throw hundreds of years of chess theory out of the window but still lead to an advantage later on. They are really worth watching. And of course Chess hasn't been "solved". Chess is essentially an infinitely branching tree of possibilities. After 4 moves each, there are already over 288 billion possible positions. Some branches lead to a white victory, others to a black victory, others to a tie. There is never going to be a single solution. The line with which you defeat the most difficult opponent is different from the line with which you defeat a total amateur. Since your opponent always controls 50% of the path the game takes, it's simply impossible. Chess is infinite. The reason for building chess AI isn't to solve Chess. The purpose is to distill the algorithm of learning so we can make true AI and help it solve humanity's problems that we can't figure out ourselves.
Me too!!! I thought i was the only one. I have even developed a sleep association with his voice. Because i love chess sometimes i watch his analysis during the day but immediately my body thinks it is bed time and i start feeling sleepy 💤
That’s a crazy compliment usually saying something puts you to sleep is taken in a negative way . I get how you meant it as a compliment . With an Agamator video to watch I’m quaranteed to be watching before my day is over
This match honestly gives you a feelgood sensation. Seeing the crazy lines these geniuses unraveled, all the while maintaining sportsmanship and professionalism. It truly shows what competition is about.
What a fantastic series of videos this Morphy/Anderssen match has been. Seeing a new posting is always a positive bump to even the best of days. Thank you for sharing your talent and expertise.
Im just in awe of Morphy. This weekend i plan to do a Morphy tour at his hometown of New Orleans. First going to eat at Brennens which is the old Morphy house where PM lived and died. It was sold by the Morphy family in 1891 to a private owner who turned it into the famous steakhouse. Then I'm going to visit his crypt at the St Louis Cemetery in Nola.
How great for you, mate, I totally envy you, wish I could come along! I could still kick myself for not doing exactly the same when I was in New Orleans 2 years ago!
The moment i convinced myself that today we wouldnt have a morphy video, youtube notified me : dont be sad, here is your daily dose of joy and then my favorite youtuber said : Hello everyone
During all those boring memorised games by present grand masters in the last couple of months, my heart was screaming for the resumption of the Morphy saga. Now you know why ❤️
I think I have heard for the first time Agadmator saying that he hopes he presented the game nicely. I'd like to say this as a regular viewer of the channel. Agadmator presented this game in the same style Morphy played the game.
Why did Antonio sound so sarcastic when he said, “Advancing the e pawn is a must. We have to play it”? Our good (poor) friend Lowenthal. The guy can’t catch a break… from his salty annotation.
@Fremen this guy retired from chess at 22. If kas and magnus retired at that age they would have been unknown. He literally searched the world for matches and only played GMs willing to play him and was willing to give odds. Sometimes he wouldn't play the best move only because it wasn't aesthetically pleasing.
Fabulous! Now that's the Morphy I know! I really don't think he was fully recovered from his illness the first six or seven matches. Now he's playing like an engine once again. He dissected Black's weaknesses the way Stockfish dissects mine. I would never have see F2-E3, that ended the game.
Agad i just wanted to say thank you for this series. I have covid and I got it when you started with game 2. Quarantine has been bearable because of this series and its what I'm looking forward to each day. This series has also helped me count my days in Covid lol!
What a beautiful game. Some of the lines had me laughing to myself thinking how crazy some of the lines in such a short game could be. Scintillating stuff.
Amazing. I can’t quite believe such a complicated game was created in so few moves with such an conventional start. Once I’ve replaced a few blown fuses in my brain, I’ll watch it again to try to understand and follow how it all exploded so fast. This, I imagine, is what Chess would be like on the mind altering drugs Aldous Huxley experimented with in the 1950’s; almost unworldly. Thanks Agad.
Something in the timbre of Agadmator’s voice has become for me a sound of sanity and reason (of course as aligned also with such subject matter). But thanks for this dude. One of the best subscriptions I ever made.
0:12 -- "...it's the most notable game & the one that you'll want to show all of your friends in the bar & in the library...." Very droll, Mr A, very droll!
Antonio, you did a WONDERFUL job of presenting it. I had seen this game before, but never appreciated those convoluted alternatives. Well played, Mr Morphy, and - as someone suggests below - we cannot help but wonder what it would be like if he were with us today. Carlsen is great, but...
0:38 “when i saw this game it was so impressive, i … I thought he was going to continue with “i immediately told my friends at the bar and the library”
When I watch videos of today's games more often than not I predict the move that's played. When I watch the games of the old masters more often than not they play a move that surprises me.
I chose the right move. Not because I'm good, but because it's a move I would not have seen or thought of if I were playing the game. I just looked at every move I would do, and not do that. Then I was left with the knight.
Big thx for showing the end 14:32 it definitely improves our endgame skills. I´m for example, i am a excellent blunderer. I quited counting how many games i lost in a in a seemingly, easily winning position. Me: "Okay.. but now.. how do i finsh this?.. i would probably pla..." Agad: "..it´s checkmate in six on this this square!" Me: "whaaaat?!?"
At once I am both fascinated by the beauty of games like this and also hopeless that I will ever understand the game well enough to play such things myself.
Thank You Agadmator (AKA Tony). You are showing us, for those who dare to cross the Chess Threshold, exquisite examples of piece play from the Pride and Sorrow of Chess Paul Charles Morphy. Yyyyyyyyaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy 😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉.
If you know the result of this match then you are super fan and you are with Agad from the very beginning, probably from the era of videos without pictures from the players and way before the start of Morphy saga.
Awesome channel and analysis!? Watching Andersen and Murphy's game, I thought of a question, who would be the chess player back in the (black and white) era to resemble closest to the great Bobby Fisher? Thanks
finally a game i can show my friends in the bar and the library
The guys in the weight room were amazed and delighted that I kept interrupting their sets to show them the moves in this classic clash of Titans
When he says "welcome back to the good stuff" you know it's going to be featured a wonderful game
And where is the lie?
I don't do drugs, but when he says it I feel like I am giving myself a little dose.
everyone needs to show this game to their friends at the bar and the library
Don't forget the fridge
I went to the library. Everyone had gone to the bar. By the time I got there they were intoxicated by the mastery of Morphy.
This is great advice thank you.
I have a friend who plays chess in gym.
I wish I had friends :(
Even with Lowenthal praises Morphy for having an "irresistible" attack, he's wrong. I almost feel bad for the guy.

I enjoy falling asleep to these videos. May the Agadmator saga never end!
Same here XD
One more
Count me in

When Agad says that when he was young he tried to learn the game by heart, you know it's gonna be a great game
What a fantastic series of videos this Morphy/Anderssen match has been. Seeing a new posting is always a positive bump to even the best of days. Thank you for sharing your talent and expertise.
I cant even imagine what MORPHY would have done if he had grown today with all those engines and computers.
He’d be a monster but Morphy didn’t really like chess that much.
@@chopin6087 he loves chess, but he was ahead of his time so he didn’t have a very strong adversaries.
@@benzolex8774 he retired from chess at 22 to pursue his dream in law.
I think he'd be just another super GM. What makes him so amazing is that he managed to do all of this without engines.
@@jasonkoch3182NO.
He might be Mastered ultra instinct super GM

Hello everyone
Your enthusiasm is contagious!
During all those boring memorised games by present grand masters in the last couple of months, my heart was screaming for the resumption of the Morphy saga. Now you know why ❤️
Indeed
You crushed this presentation (as always), just about as much as Morphy's playing is crushing Anderson's soul.
Had a terrible day at work today. But this video just lightened it up. Thanks agad. Your videos do more than just entertainment
“Welcome back to the good stuff” Good stuff indeed
Forget the library.. I'm showing my friends and relatives this game in the salon
Probably Bobby Fischer studied Morphy's games very deeply, leaving a mark in his style and in his understanding of the positions.
Incredible game, peerless presentation.
It's sometimes amazing to see the one who won the evergreen game get destroyed by another prodigy.
You are a legend. I never would have seen all of these games if it weren't for all your hard work - thanks for sharing!
I think I have heard for the first time Agadmator saying that he hopes he presented the game nicely. I'd like to say this as a regular viewer of the channel. Agadmator presented this game in the same style Morphy played the game.
Anderssen - I am so tired with all these losses, let's finish this game early today
Morphy - No worries good friend, *17 moves is all I need*
Why did Antonio sound so sarcastic when he said, “Advancing the e pawn is a must. We have to play it”?
Our good (poor) friend Lowenthal. The guy can’t catch a break… from his salty annotation.
This channel is one of the best UA-cam channels.
Great content always
Morphy’s insane. Plays as well as modern grandmasters with no training, computer support, or history books. No doubt the greatest in history
that
@@somebody700 how is he only 2500 when he beat everyone in his time. He has the best winning percentage in history.
@Fremen this guy retired from chess at 22. If kas and magnus retired at that age they would have been unknown.

Morphy is one of the greatest chess players of all time! He's called "The Pride and Sorrow of Chess"
@@somebody700 Morphy elo is 2690
the quality of this game is off the charts!
and what a fantastic analysis from you, antonio.
thank you kindly. my day has been definitely imporved!
Let's go I've been waiting all day for this!
Time to show this in the library's bar
Wow, what an amazing game, on a knife-edge throughout! Thanks.
This is why I love Morphy! Thanks agadmator for bringing such a legendary match to us in such an entertaining way!
Yes, another episode of Morphy saga, just what we all needed!
Fabulous! Now that's the Morphy I know! I really don't think he was fully recovered from his illness the first six or seven matches. Now he's playing like an engine once again. He dissected Black's weaknesses the way Stockfish dissects mine. I would never have see F2-E3, that ended the game.

This series went into overdrive since the Andersen match began. It’s really the good stuff.

Yes, Agad! You did a good job presenting this game! As always!

Damn! That was a crazy game. Thank you for the superb covering.
Something in the timbre of Agadmator’s voice has become for me a sound of sanity and reason (of course as aligned also with such subject matter). But thanks for this dude. One of the best subscriptions I ever made.
This game is full of profound alternative lines. Really enjoyed this.
Wow, 17 moves, just like the opera game
Just like the Epic Rap Battles of History where Linux just stomps everyone with a "beat you in 17 lines of code". :D
I super appreciate the incredible effort on research for these videos! So much fun to watch and learn! Thank you sir
15:47 that hypothetical Rd7++ is a thing of beauty!! now THAT'S the good stuff!!!
My favorite game so far. Great coverage. Thank you
Yessss. Finally. The smith morra gambit. I requested so long for it. Now it happened in Morphy saga. What a pleasant surprise
Love that Anderssen is finally playing the Sicillian with black after trying to play it with white the last few games.
Crazy. Don't remember I've seen this game and I agree: simply amazing game.
A real agar kind of a game. I believe you exemplified your own craft in this selection.
Thank you very much @agadmator, your presentation of the game was very good!
This is the typical Morphy game. Short game where Morphy crushes and the majority of the opponent's pieces are in the back rank
Most amazing game ever! Great minds! Thank you agad for your perferct walkthrough!
The quality of the video drastically skyrocketed since the old video of the same game. Great work Agad. We love you
I just clicked the thumbnail but I know this is gonna be good by the Löwenthal quote alone lmao.
For real I have been waiting for today's video
0:12 -- "...it's the most notable game & the one that you'll want to show all of your friends in the bar & in the library...." Very droll, Mr A, very droll!

Simply spellbinding masterpiece.
This is clearly a beautiful game. I will study this carefully. Thanks.
Incredible stuff
"... and you know, so, nowadays I just never grab pawns" -Antonio 2021
When I watch videos of today's games more often than not I predict the move that's played. When I watch the games of the old masters more often than not they play a move that surprises me.
Thank you for this. Great game!
17 moves to beat the man who was considered, prior to Morphy, the best player in the world.
Let's check it out.. Sounds like music to my ears..love from Nigeria
another fine composition of art by mr morphy
Sounds like Johann Lowenthal was the Alan Greenspan of chess. Erudite and legendary, but eventually proved a bit wrong.
I love you brother thx for all your wisdom in this most intelligent game of Chess your program is the best there is thank you brother
Very good game. Thank you Agadmator
Ahh yess, MORPHY IS A SAIYAN
GROWS STRONGER EVERY TIME
What a gorgeous game!
I've never seen a checkmate like that last Rd7++. Incredible stuff.
Anderssen: I am a great strategist.
Morphy: N.P., you'll blunder some time, and that'll do for me.
Fabulous analysis
you did a great presentation here agad!
Super anlysing and superb play
When Murphy starts attacking only God can help you, but no, he probably enjoys seeing how you suffer.
My friends at the library loved it!
How good was Anderssen? He played the Taimanov Variation 90 years before Taimanov was born!
Yes why is it called the Taimanov variation when Andersson played it 100 years prior??
I chose the right move. Not because I'm good, but because it's a move I would not have seen or thought of if I were playing the game. I just looked at every move I would do, and not do that. Then I was left with the knight.
that M.O. has pulled me through several pause-the-video moments.
It's just insane to see Morphy utterly crush Anderssen, a player of such calibre and the second best in the world in their time
Brilliant!
amazing delivery AGAD
fuck. ing. hell. Thats an amazing game of chess and what great commentary! This game needs a name!
thanks for uour great analysis !
