Morphy in a nutshell. His play was artistic, beautiful and sharp! By far my favorite chess master ever. I never miss an opportunity to watch one of his old matches.
I'd be stoked to see this, too. Morphy was from a different planet man...as Fischer was..but I think Fischer had to work harder on chess in his life and Morphy was more of a one of a kind natural.
@@vivek_yt yeah but it's been a long time since both of their deaths and i'm sure years in the years in the afterlife Morphy would have developed a lot more
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SHOW MORE GAMES BY MY ALL TIME TIME FAVORITE PLAYER , PAUL MORPHY. It's amazing how good ur analysis and clear commentary is. I'm gonna be a fan for life, I promise u that my dear friend
Morphy’s games aren’t good for Analysis. His opponents usually played the worst move at the worst possible time. This game is an example. AA had one move to make and the game is equal
I love your channel. I am a very bad chess player because I think I am cleverer than I actually am. I watch your videos and it teaches me humility. What I love most is your love of the game.
There are people that would boo their own mother's or the greatest human beings in the history of the world such as Mother Theresa. They just hate everything and are poor miserable souls with not an ounce of goodness in their character. Some people have such unrealistically high expectations of good free videos, they nit-pick every perceived flaw. It doesn't really matter what other people think but it's whatever you like that's important. However, if you make videos for a living then it is important. Antonio generally gets greater than 99% likes so he is doing exceptionally well. He is bright, articulate and has a great command of chess analysis. I'm a fan of his videos and commentary.
Anderssen showed lot of pride in moving as necessiated. Anderssen was not a quality player that we measure Mr Morphy. Never forget that, that was the age where truth and reality were subdued through nobility and there are always gems present in commoners who were never given a chance to thrive and succeed.
Another great series. Thank you, Agadmator. Anderssen v Morhph should have been the First World Championship (or the second after LaBourdonnais v McDonnell...)
Morphy was amazing -- a self-taught American who came out of obscurity to beat all the top players in Europe (where the highest standard of chess was back then) by putting a lot more attention on pushing the pawns. Anderssen was the reigning world champion, but Morphy beat him 7-2 (with two draws). The next truly home-grown American after him was not until Bobby Fischer. (Capablanca was a Cuban, even though it was merely a province of the US in his time.)
Cuba was a satelite of the USA. A province recive benefits. The gringos sucked the well from Cuba and gave nothing back except protection to the ruling class. Our history has been one of submission to imperialists countries. Remember the Soviet Union.
You might want to check your records regarding the Worlds highest chess standards back then. Due to the suppressive Colonial Powers of that era you can only surmise this statement. As this Game hailed from the middle East somewhere over thousands of years ago , you can only speculate that Europe had the best players. Recent history has taught me that as the Eastern Nations was the cradle of all western education, I'm very confident that greater chess players existed at the time but were not in a position to compete. All the same Morphy was a very good player , the best? We will never know for sure. Today's multimedia channels makes it very easy for the Greatest Minds to be exposed to the World. Back then only the wealthy excelled in exposing their talents.
@@ramking7869 Because those 2 other individuals are the best players in history of chess (for me, my favorites). It's not like it was your opinion or something like that 😅 You're a nobody in chess, Capablanca and Fischer are like gods in chess 😆
tbh, it would be quite arrogant for Fischer to say "I am the best chess player in the history", don't you think? He was weird but not Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Fischer was the best.
Hi, OK I am getting old and my memory is not what it used to be. Morphy is the reason we now use clocks. Playing a match he opened with e4 and the response was d4. He played Nf3 and waited. and waited. The shadows moved across the wall and still he waited. Being very polite he held back as long as he could before finally asking "Excuse me are you going to move?" His opponent who was lost in a daze came too and asked "Is it my move?" And he then required clocks be used in future matches.
@9:55- 9:58 "After the match, Anderson said he wasn't really in shape, but okay, Morphy wasn't in shape either, he was drained by LiChess..." LiChess in 1858?!?!! --- what, did they use the telegraph?!? That WOULD be quite draining. Especially since the first Trans-Atlantic telegraph cable was shorted out that year, just one month after it was completed (which took 4 years!). The next transatlantic cable was finished 7 years later..... Can you imagine(?): "Waiting for opponent to Move...." ..... 7 years later... .......knight G to F3.... ... "Okay, Now what do you do here..."
Very nice to meet you! I am trying to set up a low to medium level chess gatherings, in a public big chess board in Amsterdam. (1053 post code for anyone interested). Some of the bases of your analysis and some of the positions that you show are very good examples of particular pieces of theory. I am recommending your channel (as well others of course) to the people that are involved in our small chess club (nothing on profit just me enjoying the game and teaching some youngsters). I hope you will be getting some views from Holland. Thank you. Salute to the dog!
I copy-pasted the notation in the description into Scid and Black has an extra pawn at d5? In the video, it's not there. Haven't inspected it thoroughly, though, still in cursory mode.
I can see why fisher loved morphy can see a lot of morphy in fishers play crazy moves that are so amazing making his opponent do something they don't want to do lol morphy was fisher before fisher lol
@agadmator at 4:22 you show the move Bxd5+, but at the description of the moves in the game under the video after Nxf6+ and d5 you've written the move Qh5+. If Qh5+ black is actually winning :) ...
There seems to be a mistake in the description's PGN moves. At 4:24 you say white's move is 14. Bxd5+ but in the description it says ... I was going to say white's move is 14. Qh5+ because that's what the chess.com analysis board says it is after loading the description's PGN. But actually move 14 is missing in the description and Qh5+ is move 15 in the description (and apparently chess.com's analysis board doesn't flag missing moves, it just renumbers them when loading a PGN file with missing moves) as you go from move 13 to move 15 in the description. The description also says move 12 is 12. Bc4 12 Nd4 (note the second 12 after Bc4). I think the correct PGN should say: 1. e4 1 c5 2. d4 cd4 3. Nf3 Nc6 4. Nd4 e6 5. Nb5 d6 6. Bf4 6 e5 7. Be3 f5 8. N1c3 8 f4 9. Nd5 fe3 10. Nbc7 Kf7 11. Qf3 Nf6 12. Bc4 Nd4 13. Nf6 d5 14. Bxd5 Kg6 15. Qh5 Kf6 16. fe3 Nc2 17. Ke2 (BTW If you load the PGN with move 14 omitted like in the description, white loses according to the chess.com analysis board if you choose play against the computer (even if playing the best moves suggested for white). If you play against the computer as white with my version of the PGN above using the suggested moves for white, it takes quite a while but you eventually win as white.
There was a mistake. Queen captures at d5 and the queen on d5 is captured by knight, opened a discovered check so white queen could not be captured by black knight.
Hi agadmator,can you find and upload the game,where Kasparov plays against Carlsen?It would be very interesting for us. P.S. can't wait for another Morphy vs Anderssen game :)
I want morphys haircut. Barber: what you want?
Gimme that opera house immortal look.
Barber: say no more
+Horacio Venegas That would be some world to live in :)
Voraciously Venegas
I think I'll go with the Cinderella Mullet.
Fine choice, sir.
I want Anderssen's jaw to crush my opponents
This cracked me up so hard, thanks
9:55 "He was drained by Lichess." - I can relate.
🤣
Queen 2 F 7 check and then night check would have won the game for Murphy
"He was drained by leeches" in other words the doctors of the day had Morphy bled. Wow, I thought that practice had been discontinued by 1858!
lmaoooooooo
Omg 😂😂😂
Full credit to Anderssen too, many times throughout his chess career he showed that he was a gentleman and a fair player.
The ultimate romantic
These moves are so complex and amazing! Everything is hanging on such a thin thread. But the attack is so strong!
Yeah, that knight on c7, chilling there all game even though it a) is hanging and b) could snatch a rook.
Morphy in a nutshell. His play was artistic, beautiful and sharp! By far my favorite chess master ever. I never miss an opportunity to watch one of his old matches.
man watching this drunk af is a mind blowing thing
indeed mr anderson
Try on shrooms
off of 4 bottles of beer and half a bottle of wine, morphy really was an artist in his own sense
I'm sober and its already majestic. Morphy's plays make my chess moves look drunk!
Wait till you watch high
"A silent move but a deadly move." Great commentary!
epic
If there is an afterlife, I'll be @ the Paul Morphy Bobby Fischer game when I die.
I'd be stoked to see this, too. Morphy was from a different planet man...as Fischer was..but I think Fischer had to work harder on chess in his life and Morphy was more of a one of a kind natural.
Paul Morphy vs. Mikhail Tal o.o"
Nice idea. But Fischer would crush Morphy anyways as chess players developed with passing years.
@@vivek_yt yeah but it's been a long time since both of their deaths and i'm sure years in the years in the afterlife Morphy would have developed a lot more
What I've always wondered what kind of of games do we play in heaven
Paul Morphy was one of the greatest players ever to play the game of chess, no doubt.
I should start using the "I'm too drained by leeches" excuse.
I use the I'm too drained from Lichess excuse more often.
Lichess really breaks a nigga
Chess was beautiful when there were no engines. Just pure tactical chess 🤩.
Raghuveer Dubagunta engines n theories kill the game

Cash Boy Music true, but also now people are better than before

Chess is much better now man it is fault in us humans who cant appreciate the positional beauty and tactics are still and ideas are more precise

-Agadmator, 2017
Love the commentary on the games and the history of them as well. Morphy matches are my favorite
I wholeheartedly agree!
People in 2020: Chess was better back when there were no engines..
Paul Morphy: I am the engine child!
I don't know how many times I've come back to watch this game again. It's fun.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SHOW MORE GAMES BY MY ALL TIME TIME FAVORITE PLAYER , PAUL MORPHY. It's amazing how good ur analysis and clear commentary is. I'm gonna be a fan for life, I promise u that my dear friend
James Oliver He’s done many others, search and you will find them.
Morphy’s games aren’t good for Analysis. His opponents usually played the worst move at the worst possible time. This game is an example. AA had one move to make and the game is equal
@@petec3185 I agree, but at the same time I disagree. His best opponents played at around 90-95% acc average which is damn impressive in the 1800s.
"Mr. Anderssen, welcome back...we missssed you"
6:24 was I the only person you thought he was going to say “execute order 66”? 🤣🤣🤣
This is a study in why development is so important.
Thanks for posting this game, and the commentary! Your explanations of traps are clear and the variations you present are easy to follow....
Morphy, the Chopin of chess.
You're not the only one who initially thought that!
Omg '-' haha
Julián Besteiro Liszt of chess sounds more suitable
wait his image does resemble chopin actually
Ariana ; Liszt is violent and virtuosic, Chopin is a poet, a much more suitable title.
Mozart ;)
I love your channel. I am a very bad chess player because I think I am cleverer than I actually am. I watch your videos and it teaches me humility. What I love most is your love of the game.
An amazing and clear analysis.
Thank you very much and keep up the good work.
Every video of yours is in my favorite 'Chess' list. Good work, I like the way you explain chess moves!
Really hoping for more Morphy games. Your commentary on them is great.
This has always been a difficult game for me. Thanks so much for this video.
Dude, I love you! You are my favorite chess commentator.
Great match that still holds up well today by any standard.
Awesome game! Thanks again, more Morphy games in the future please. Even Medo seems to enjoy them.
I don't get why anyone would dislike any of Antonio's videos. His and MatoJelic's are my favorite chess channels.
There are people that would boo their own mother's or the greatest human beings in the history of the world such as Mother Theresa. They just hate everything and are poor miserable souls with not an ounce of goodness in their character. Some people have such unrealistically high expectations of good free videos, they nit-pick every perceived flaw. It doesn't really matter what other people think but it's whatever you like that's important. However, if you make videos for a living then it is important. Antonio generally gets greater than 99% likes so he is doing exceptionally well. He is bright, articulate and has a great command of chess analysis. I'm a fan of his videos and commentary.
@@droceretik hi I´,m Mato
ZeroSumJ1 The dislikes are distant relatives of each videos losers.
@@droceretik Well said.
I agree. Also, check out Historical Chess Videos here on UA-cam for every Paul Morphy match.
Paul Morphy.By far the pride and sorrow of chess.May his soul rest in peace.
Indeed. Shame that he gave up on chess to be a lawyer. Also a shame that he played chess so early on before a lot of the greats came on
Yes.He should have played more contemporary and professionals ..not some laymen sitting on the road...without any insult intended at anyone.
I liked Morphy-Anderssen that was a good one.
Anderssen showed lot of pride in moving as necessiated.
Anderssen was not a quality player that we measure Mr Morphy.
Never forget that, that was the age where truth and reality were subdued through nobility and there are always gems present in commoners who were never given a chance to thrive and succeed.
@@nirohhhk that was a different time back then. Morphy wasn't a 'professional' either
What a great game! Thanks for sharing.
Morphy and I went to the same Jesuit college in Mobile, Alabama. He is still the most famous alumni.
awesome selection!
How did he know I would watch this on a Saturday? 🤔
Genius at work!
What an incredible game. So aggressive and calculating.
Please show more games from Alekhine. He's such a gem to watch!
I like how Morphy hated that black pawn on e6 and you can see that his plan right from the start was to remove it! Awesome stuff!
this vid was a nasty discovery
Another great series. Thank you, Agadmator. Anderssen v Morhph should have been the First World Championship (or the second after LaBourdonnais v McDonnell...)
Just a fantastic game and fantastic commendatory!
man anderssen has a big head
shottysteve y u no upload csgo vids
Anderssen's head was made for Morphy's hair.
your videos got me through rehab

excellent video friend thank you very much
"I hope you are having a great saturday, as this is one of the most epic games in chess history" greatest intro
I came right after watching Magnus offering a draw in game 12, I needed to watch an exciting match, so here I am.
Morphy is like the mushrooms of chess, so much deep knowledge coming thru, it becomes clearer just by watching his games. So Inspirational!
Projection?
Thanks
This game just blew my mind...
I'm an agadmator fan, watching this from the first month of 2019 and all I can say is wtfucking congrats.
I see you have great support behind you,excelent!
There is no point to capture the rook while your king getting hammered here :P İ love your style and videos man.
A silent but deadly move! You're pulling my finger.
Round #2 , rewatching this : )

"...Morphy also wasn't in shape -- he was drained by leeches," he said succinctly.

Boby fischer and capablanca both believed that morphy was the greatest player in chess history. The case is closed.
That's impressive. Then I agree.

The ability to play chess is a sign of gentleman... Paul Morphy quotes
umar khan Ah, but you’re forgetting the second half “… but the ability to play it well is the sign of a wasted life.”
for recorded chess history lineage(fair or not) of chess masters, It seems they start with Paul Morphy
Older Agadmator vids = dimmer lighting and lower pitched “hello everyone”s.
