This is the story of the birth of modern chess - when the possibilities of chess as an art, a science and a sport all converged.
The point of convergence was a young boy from Louisiana named Paul Morphy. At a time when America was seen as a backwoods nation with little cultural history and even less intellectual impetus, at a time when chess was considered the exclusive property of a few European countries, at a time when the game was played successfully by a handful of men wizened by years, Paul Morphy, in the brief span of 19 months and with seemingly little effort, defeated conclusively every player he met.
While today few non chess players even know his name, he was one of the most famous celebrities of his time and within the hallowed halls of the chess playing community he is considered by some as the greatest chess player of all time.
But this diminutive, unassuming boy rose to fame almost out of nowhere and once he secured his place in history, he retired back into that hazy unknown, shunning the public eye, never again to play serious chess. Not only was he one of great practitioners of the game, but also one of it's greatest enigmas. He's been given the sobriquet, The Pride and Sorrow of Chess.

#MorphySaga "Watch me without ads on your Amazon devices (bit.ly/Agadmat...) and Roku TV (bit.ly/Agadmat...)
First line would be something like "Morphy's style Guyana (some kind of meat?) pâté shaped like the arc de triomphe (landmark in Paris)"
Then "Decorated with guirlandes made of pensée (small flower), en pastillage "(a kind of preparation where it would be like candies)
And finally decoration "on top of it the goddess Caissa crowning Victory"
Or as we call it, a fancy paté
La traduction est réaliste mais laisse songeur par rapport à ce qu'il y a réellement à l'intérieur car même manger des pensées me semble étrange en soi.
I think that "pensées" is the flower plant. Google found a couple of recipes which use the flowers for a salad (*). It seems that the English name is "pansy", coming from the French language obviously.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pansy
(*) For example: www.cuisineactuelle.fr/recettes/salade-fraicheur-aux-fleurs-de-pensees-197926
Finding the recipes would be damned spiffy. I wonder if that huge NYC research library has something in the archives.
Très fancy!
@@kirbyculp3449 Perhaps the archives are incomplete
12:42 "Bunch or rich dudes, congratulating themselves on being awesome" :D
:D
I laughed that comment.
It is his way of sarcasm and it is out of the world.
I laughed so hard
Being rich and awesome... that's a tautology... and why the hell not celebrate... being old and rich back then was a real accomplishment.
"He loses the rook, the knight, the game"
So poetic... No wonder you're the best chess UA-camr
came to comments section just to check if someone has comented regarding the same😅
I really like the "this position has never been reached again" for this series.
Yes. I don't know why but it makes me feel nostalgic about it ;(
Magnus Carlsen played three player blindfold and won em all
(Me playing chess)
stares at board intensely for 120 seconds
“Is it my turn or yours?”
Magnus played three...........I play using a telescope and still can't see the good plays.
@@manu-ox4fe I don't even see a good move with a giant laser telescope specially in bullets😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂
That's some pretty intense calculation 😅
This gave me a good laugh....
Kinda like my poor chess technique
What does this have to do with the video? Seems like you just want a popular comment
Morphy didn't go for the Morphy defence. Wow
Yes true. But just wait the Morphy defense will come any soon. Morphy will use his defense in the later part of the year
he don't needed it. Opponent was *Too weak too slow*

PORCO DIO
@@kledyrelacion8859 mi pare giusto
I should really study.
AGADMATOR: Hello everyone and sorry about that.
Same situation
5:43 Morphy: If you capture, I'm just gonna capture, and after captures, I'm just gonna capture.
Hahahahaha
Basically was a bunch of rich dudes congratulating themselves on being awesome and they sang songs about it.
Love it
Well, "pâté de guyana" doesn't seem to be a definite thing so we might go about it with "Guyana pâté" (perhaps a pâté with a preparation that is typical of the cuisine of Guyana, or with ingredients from there), and otherwise it would be something like that :
"Arch of Triumph (the monument in Paris) shaped Guyana pâté in the fashion of Morphy, ornamented with garlands of thoughts (as in, the thought that one puts in for a game of chess) in a lean paste, above which stands Goddess Caissa Crowning ( that would be the literal translation but also it could mean "to sum up" or "to put the last touch of panache/glory") the Victory".
The other translation is much better. Pensées are small flowers.
@@youareelonmusk5517 Yeah sure, but refering to the game of chess it seemed like something they could be alluding to.
@@sofyanal-hajjohnston8484 I agree!
A pate' made from Guyanese...
If you think that's racist, I ask you which race, guyanese??
Goes well together with a fresh word salad.
Arc de Triomphe in pâté from Guyana à la Morphy, adorned with garlands of pastillage viola and mounted by the Goddess Caïssa Crowning Victory.
If the translation seems bad don't worry, it sounds just as weird in French.
The issue is not your translation, even for a french guy it is actually difficult to understand.
I just speak francais federale (suisse), but it sounded wierd to me
*Triumphal arch in dough from guyana ala Morphy adorned with garlands of pansies in **_depastillage_** and surmounted by the goddess Caissa crowning the victory*
"Pastillage" is a fast-hardening mixture of corn starch, powdered sugar and gelatin used to make decorative shapes usually on cakes and such.
I was thinking something like drywall plaster!! Hehehehe.
Your explanation sounds way better for dinner than what I was thinking!!
Thanks!!
You should have given him the Capablacka's head
make way to the top!
that would have been awesome!
Bro
Yeah
5:44 "Qd7, saying, 'if you capture, I'm gonna capture, and after captures, I'm just gonna capture your b5 pawn.'" The good stuff!
That dish made in honor of Morphy is this: A sculpted mass of 'Paté de Guyane,' which is a mixture of pork livers, chicken livers, salt and seasonings, shaped into the form of L'Arc de Triomphe, the Parisian landmark ("the Arch of Triumph" in English). It then had decorative elements - - Pastillage is an edible molding-clay like material, usually made with egg whites, lemon juice, sugar, gelatin and cream -- and coloring! (God knows what they used for food coloring back in 1857!). In this instance, the pastillage was formed and colored to look like the blossoms of the Pansy (Pensée, in French) flower (botanical name: Viola tricolar var. Hortensis). Then, on the top of this disgusting mass of fat, sodium, sugar and a number of carcinogens, there was an elaborate representation -- and most likely this also was made of Pastillage -- of two mythological figures in a tableau - the goddess Caïssa, crowning La Victoire (the female figure figure representing victory - and named "Victory" in English). This Arc de triomphe sculpture was most likely covered in molded and decorated LARD - probably beef lard, but maybe pork lard, to give the surface the look of the glazed-tile surface of the real Arc de Triomphe. They used lard a lot back then. Yum! -- Not!! ...Barffff! ... Still, an honor is an honor, right?
The new building at that hotel site is a grotesque post-modern monstrosity.
Looks like a bunch of cubist turds excreted by a Godzilla-sized Pablo Picasso.
somewhere6 name of the hotel?
@@EdmundTfy It was the St. Denis Hotel until about 1920 when it was "renovated" into an office building and lost most of the exterior styling and most of the very ornate interior. Thus before the recent demolition, it was not what it once was but the planned replacement is a nightmare.
somewhere6 thx for the update!
Thought it looked gorgeous to me...
Meek living up to his name with that effort.
Jesus: The Meek shall inherit the earth
Morphy: Not so fast.
Yea not yet.
Maybe Jesus can play Morphy at chess...
Bullseye: it was a joke, lighten up. I’m sure even Jesus smiled now and then.
Isaac Kikkert so you’re a god nazi too eh? I was responding to Mr. Self Righteous, not to original poster.

12:28 -- The Arc de Triumphe made from Guyanese pâté in the Morphy style, decorated with garlands of pansies made of pastillage [sugar-paste], and topped by the goddess Caissa [goddess of chess] crowning Victory.
Arc de triomphe en pâté de guyana à la Moprhy ornées de guirlandes de pensées en pastillage, et surmonté de la déesse caïssa couronnant la victoire.
Arc de triomphe ( is the famous french monument began by napoléon 1er) en pâté means made of dough "à la Morphy", it's written like Morphy is a cooking technique u see, ornées de guirlandes de pensées en pastillage, means your meal is decorated with tinsel of thoughts ( i don't get that one) all made with pastillage, it's like wire of candy used to decorate. Then, surmonté de la déesse caïssa means that above all of that there is the goddess Caïssa ( goddess of chess in mythologie) crowning the victory.
Hello gad I'm french first time i comment, i'll try to help you my best but actually that meal's name doesn't mean anything concret xD, also as it's the first time i comment, just wanted to say i follow you since about 1 year, and i fell in love with morphy's chess, and i was so happy u made a saga about him, keep going on, i'm from those quiet spectators but still supporting you :D
Les pensées sont les fleurs je pense

Triumphal arch in guyana's dough in Morphy's "style", decorated with ginsels of pelletizing thoughts, and surmounted with the Caïssa goddess crowning the victory.
here's your translation. It doesn't make any sense in french neither. I guess cooks were trying to be fancy ...
The first translation is again much better. It's just a fancy paté!
Pensées = fleurs
@@youareelonmusk5517 idk what the first translation is, I gave you a litteral translation I didn't modify the used verbs in order to be more beautiful. I didn't improve it, I wrote it as it really is^^
"The Meek shall inherit the Earth, but not beat the Morphy at Chess"
I loved "Pride and Sorrow of Chess," read it twice. These videos truly are the good stuff. Keep it coming!
Finally, new Morphy games. Much love Antonio.😊
In english: Triumphal arch in Guyana crust, Morphy style, with garland ornement thoughts chiped, surmounted with the Caïssa goddess crowning the Victory. I tried to make it as understandable as I could, but it's old poetic french :)
quelle haute cuisine
I used to think the inane descriptions in present day restaurant menus are a recent invention in sales puffery. But this sort of bilge seems to have quite a long history!
Agadmator: Hello EVERYONE!!
Me: Alright! Study can wait...
I remember the scenes in the reception area of that hotel.
Chess nuts boasting in an open foyer.
I'll get my coat.
Well played, Sir!
Chess songs, food decorated in a chessly fashion. What a party!
History behind this game was so much more interesting than the game itself! I was sad to see that the original building doesn't exist anymore. The new hotel looks cool,but we can never see where the game was actually played 😁
Hi man, I'm french and this is how i would translate the name of the meal, Arc de Triomphe is a famous monument in Paris build by the will of Napelon the first, pathé is a traditional meal made with meat and have no translation that is just the name of the meal, and Caïssa is the goddess of chess, so the translation would be something like :
" Arc de Triomphe style pathé of Gyanna Morhphy's like
Adorned with garlands of thoughts
And be overcome with goddess Caïssa crowining the Victory"
This is how is usually done to give some long et classy name in french gastronomic cooking
Chess + history you are the best Antonio . Definitely the best you tube channel
Morphy was a beast. He‘s grown on me.
Great registration of the game and I also like the history lesson at the end.
It makes me empathize better with the time Morphy was playing. Thanks!
"Chessly fashion:" I like that. I'm going to use that.
Agad: Welcome back to the good stuff.
Me: you never showed bad stuff.😈
I really enjoy your channel... Thanks for your time in this magnificent document series... I've learned so much..... Now I must teach my wife lol
The name of the meal:
"Arc de Triomphe (a French monument) in pâté de Guyana morphy style, decorated with tinsels of thoughts, and topped with the goddess Caïssa crowning the victory."
Even in French it doesn't make much sense for me but that's the translation.
I guess it's poetry.
Paul Morphy games are so much more intriguing to watch. Please continue to do more Morphy games.
What is it with the croatian chess youtuber? They are at the top of chess lectures on youtube. Antonio and mato jelic, svaka vam cast🤩
Agadmator I love your work and am a huge fan
You are an excellent teacher of chess
Your attention to details is amazing.
Am I the only one who joins agad's outro and the voice in my head be like "... Thank you a lot, I really appreciate it. As usual, you can check two of my previous videos here. Thank you all for watching and I will see you soon..."
And you prolly read that hearing his voice too lol
AHAHAH, so, I'm French and this makes very little sense. It is absolutely French, but it's fancy words restaurants and chefs use to make the food sound better than it probably is. I went to a fairly expensive restaurant the other day in Paris and the menu sort of looked like that. I still to this day have no idea what I exactly ate, and I never will. Food was okay though. So, don't feel bad about not understanding, this is pretty much gibberish!
An attempt at translating this: Arc de Triomphe (so I guess the food was shaped more or less like an arc de triomphe) made out of some pâté made out of (or from) Guyana (not sure if it's made out of or from because I'm not sure what Guyana refers to. Most probably it refers to the place so from might be the correct choice, but I didn't know Guyana was famous for their pâtés) Also : sorry for keeping so many French words here. The English language just imported them directly. à la Morphy (that means the way Morphy makes it (which tells you right away that it makes no sense since I seriously doubt Morphy would make any sort of Pâté ! much less in the shape of an Arc de Triomphe).
Decorated with strings of pensées ("pensées" are flowers, their name means "thoughts") en pastillage (no idea what that means, maybe they turned the petals into sweet candy? that would be my wild guess).
All of this surmounted by the goddess Caïssa (the goddess of chess apparently, invented in 1763 by the poet Caïssa. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ca%C3%AFssa) crowning Victory (a real Greek goddess this one, also known as Niké if you ever wondered where some of your favorite running shoes got their name from).
Guyana is a country in northern South America.
@@emanuelrosenthal4271 I know, but have you ever heard of any pâté recipe coming from there? That kind of food is not well suited for hot climates, it spoils too fast...
This translation is as good, if not better than the one from mathieu le person. Bravo!
@@jdfromparis6230 Refering to a country as a "place" was what made me think you didn't know what Guyana was.
I'm not French (nor know french the language) so I don't know what pâté is.
@@emanuelrosenthal4271 Ah, I get it. Pâté is some sort of meat delicacy that you spread on hopefully good bread. Wikipedia will explain better than me I'm sure: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%C3%A2t%C3%A9
Morphy plays the Berlin defense... Interesting that AlphaZero also liked the Berlin defense.
Another insane game from the 'goat' 🐐
@Agadmator did you know
In the same year 1857 india's first revolution against Britain for freedom begins...... Such a coincidence
What was “The Berlin Defense” called back then?
I like this Poulsen character - hope there will be a lot of games from the master-from-the-past, in your excellent channel.
Another day increasing my vast knowledge!
Triumph Arch over paté from Guyana, Morphy style, adorned with garlands of thought in chips, and topped by the Goddess Caïssa Crowning the Victrory.
Idk what could they be referring to with Triumph Arch, it seems a salad from the rest; paté is a delicacy that is made from the liver of some animals, like goose or pig, there may be varieties from some other animals, it's soft like a paste and quite savory, ideal to add to several dishes for flavor; the part of chips is because it's literal translation would be something like "many pills"; Caïssa is a Thracian Triad portrayed as the Goddess of Chess. (She was first mentioned during the Renaissance by Italian poet Hieronymus Vida).
Maybe it was just a Caesar's salad with paté, described very poetically and in a chess fashion, what do you all think ?
Well again, the good stuff is the best stuff. Thank you
"a bunch of rich dudes congratulazing each other on being awesome"
I love it :D
Hahaha... most of this game Agad says something like this: “Meek should [...], but.... He should have [...]”
Hy i love your channel and thank you so much for information too
great video. love the history on the hotel and the images. keep it up sir
It reads as though it was a form
of pate. Something to the effect:
Triumphal arch in guyana pâté à la Moprhy covered with garlands of pansies, and (adorned?) by the goddess caïssa in victory
As a New Yorker I appreciate the history of the Saint Denis Hotel can't say that I remember it but again I appreciate the lesson
12:43 " a bunch of rich dudes congratulating themselves on being awesome". Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose. :-)
Nice quote at the top: Openings teach u openings. Endgames teach u chess.
Why is there a yellow bird/chicken next to Mikhail Tal?
12:42 "Just a bunch of rich dudes congratulating themselves on being awesome."
Came for the chess, stayed for the stories.
Arc de Triomph (French structure) made of paté (French/Belgium meatproduct with main ingredient liver) from the country Guiana in the style of Morphy.
Decorated with pastillage (hardened sugar dough/paste) in the shape of a pansy (flower) garland,
Garnished with the chessgoddes Caïssa being crowned after victory.
So with no time control we got faster games!
I love old chess.
We had unique openings too, lets burn all the chess books and kill stockfish lol
Menu translation: Arc de Triomphe in Guyana (?) paté in Morphy style, adorned with garlands of compressed thoughts and topped with Goddess Caïssa crowning Victory.
Holy crap! What an eyesore they replaced the Hotel St. Denis with.
'''all the food decorated in a chessly fashion''.. LOVE IT!!
Why are you moving the pieces with your mouse? Did something happen to application you've been using?
I would like you to remind us how young Paul Morphy is at this chess Congress it will help us understand his greatness.
It's not the Morphy Saga,but the Good Stuff Saga
French cooking will mention a country to reference popular local ingredients and spices and cooking techniques. So guyana in 1857 I would guess curry powder. A tower shaped pate appetizer with decorations.

Morphy dominated the game. I really enjoyed the photo and historic anecdotes!
#suggestion GM Ivaljo Enchev vs IM Nubairshah Shaikh Round 7 , Capelle La grande 2020. 4 queens on board just after 10 moves. Do cover this game
I can hardly imagine it's a real menu as it gives nearly no info except it's a pâté (at least nowadays they give you more clues with "on its clouds of [insert random unknown vegetable] accompanied by [insert another random unknown and probably very expensive vegetable])
Looks more like a big praise to Morphy:
"Triumphal Arc [insert some paté here] "à la Morphy"/Morphy's style" ==> Seems like a praise to Morphy for his clean victory
"ornated/decorated with garlands of pastillage thoughts" ==> pastillage = sweet used to decorate cakes (often those are sculpted like sugar roses, etc.) ==> it makes cakes way more fancy, probably like his victories
"and topped by Caïssa Goddess Crowning Victory" ==> gg Morphy, that was a great win
I guess he just received 15g of some fancy pâté and went outside to eat a hod dog afterwards
"I'm going to make it smaller" ...proceeds to fill the entire screen. anyone notice this cyborg has been glitching more lately? ...the end times are near.
Many times I find myself in a position to capture my opponent's rook, but if I resist that and instead improve my position, I very often find it leads to decisive winning positions.
3:30
"b5 attacks the queen and the knight,so probably you would move the queen and then you loose the rook and the knight and the **agadmator.exe has stopped working for a millisecond** and the game"
XD
8:12 - in my opinion a better defense for the knight would have been d4-d5, the best responce after that would probably be g7-g5, after that i'm stuck...
That's one of the best quotes I've ever read.
Only 1 hour, that must have felt great compared to games against Paulsen. In worst moments of them Morphy had tears in his eyes because he was so frustrated and tired of the slow pace.
You know it really is good stuff when Antonio himself saves chess notes as "good stuff.txt"
.. in a 'chessly fashion'. Love it =)
2:22 position is like evans gambit declined
An Arc de Triomphe (Arch of Triumph) made of pasta from Guyana to Morphy/Decorated with pansy tinsels in sugar based dough/with the Caissa Goddess on top crowning the victory
I brought up Google maps and chose 11th and Broadway in New York and then used street view but didn't see that building but did see some construction fencing. Not sure how old the images are.
This is one game I wish they had played out to checkmate.
Love the vids!
ok, so to start off - yes it is french, but it's using specific culinary vocabulary - so it's not entirely clear, pastillage is a hard paste - and it looks like the arc du triomph garlanded with pansies made of that paste, with something like the goddess of victory's crown on top - I've no idea if it was actually edible - maybe something a bit like this www.google.com/search?q=pastillage+sculpture&rlz=1C1LDJZ_enGB498&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=vcbHTZoUwdcgSM%253A%252CweKiEhoD47ubSM%252C_&vet=1&usg=AI4_-kTQzSDcl8ftHITDRtdL5VXzz9sXcQ&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwib5NLd1fvnAhUEoVwKHQeqB-AQ9QEwBXoECAkQLw#imgrc=vcbHTZoUwdcgSM:

According to Street View, that place was under construction last june, so it seems quite unlikely it's been already built.
#suggestion can you analyze a game between Torre and Karpov.
Not only did I improve my vast chess knowledge, but I also improved my significantly less vast New York City hotel knowledge!
I’m a little late but what an utter monstrosity of a modern building to replace that relic of American History. Truly disgraceful.
