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.

Vast knowledge: increased
Friends at bar and library: impressed
The stuff: good
yo a bit late but this comment is truly lethal :D
The comment: read
The reply guy: laughed
"This is just _very sad,_ when you have a queen blocking 3 connected passed pawns". Then why am I laughing?
Because this has not happened to u. 🤣.. I guess? 😂😂
Try the song "Sad" by Bo Burnham. It kind of eplains the funny/sad thing
😆😆😆😆ahahahaha..this comment is pure gold!!!!!
@@panda4247 Thanks. found something awesome.
It izzz what is izzz
The loneliest knight I've ever seen. Knight just watched 'til the end of game.
imagine introducing a gun to the game as to put down a crippled horsey
The knight was in quarantine before it was cool
He was just enjoying the show
0:00 Hello everyone
0:02 The Good Stuff
0:17 He's the one who has to suffer now
0:24 Arena winners
1:21 Let's check out the game
1:40 2:10 Grabs the pawn
2:59 The worst idea
3:07 13:04 Never been reached again
3:17 9:07 Doomed knight
4:33 That's not b5
4:41 A fine idea
5:11 Position from the thumbnail/loses the game terribly
5:27 12:08 Give you a couple of seconds
5:38 12:17 Enjoy the show
6:08 7:35 Of course completely winning
6:44 12:25 Nothing to do
7:16 11:19 Captures captures 6:02 (...with check!) 9:32 9:57 (...and captures!)
7:57 Deadly threat
9:14 A lot of pressure
9:36 Nasty discoveries
10:55 11:00 Very sad
13:49 Morphy Saga
LOVE these, thanks! :)
its always without futher ado xD watch out next time ;)
There is also always the "So yeah" at the end of the match, here at 13:17
10:54
"And this is just very sad. When you have a queen blocking three connected pass pawns, that's very sad."
- Agadmator
For the history books
😂 Just what I was about to point out
11:03 but you know, it is what it is.
But you know... it is what it is
@@melarevanco Jua-cam.com/video/hdjTbv2n3Zs/v-deo.html
"and you're up a queen" just doesn't feel right to hear
LOL
Compleetli winning
9:32 captures captures and captures and you just get captures and now all sorts of nasty discoveries
What a combo
LMAO
I thought just the same
Morphy: gets a bad position from the opening, has to suffer, and wins
Boden: gets a bad position from the opening, has to suffer, and loses
Today Medo is curled up comfortably on his doggie bed
Yesterday Medo was sprawled out - and that position was not reached again today for good reasons.
I do hope he enjoys it.
Medo is the best. Just by watching he (or she?) must be at least 1.800 ELO rated pet.
I feel like all those "never been reached" positions i have in my 900 elo games on a weekly basis :D
he did mentioned in one of his videos that he only counts it if its from pros or at least 2,4k elo something so... yah dont /r woosh me lmao
'And it is as of move 3 that we have a completely new game' 🤣
I was thinking it would be interesting to do a Turing Test of sorts--or April Fool's joke--where @agadmator presents a random game from one of his Friday tournaments as if it were a legendary contest between two grandmasters and sees who can tell that it's actually just a game between random people on the internet. "And it was in this position that I revealed I'm just messing with you and presenting a game between anonymous lichess players chesszor71 and KnightMoves12 as if it were a game between Fischer and Spassky."
Damn, I thought I was bad stuck at 1200. lol
Me too :/
"You are up a piece, so it's completely winning."
Me, a chess intellectual: "Yeah lol, haha" *Loses with +20 advantage*
its kinda funny hikaru recently said that he lost some game to magnus where he was +10
And that is just very sad when you have a queen blocking three pawns...
Looking at the position, I felt that just as he said it.
The whole game - it seemed like Morphy was just toying with his opponent.
Our names are almost exactly the same
7:45 i love how he sometimes mistake bishop for a knight. Love you my dude
Woah. An Easter egg. I didn’t notice.
agadmator: "Do you want to go Ne5 ... maybe Ne7 to g6 ... "
me: Na5
agadmator: "Or, the move that Boden played, Na5, which is the worst idea."
me: Of course it is.
"If you try captures, captures and captures, you just get captures."
Legends say that the knight still doesn't have any squares.
Squires* ?
That's just silly.
Swashbuckler His squires abandoned him
@@icantthinkofaname5950 Jua-cam.com/video/hdjTbv2n3Zs/v-deo.html
Just want to say thanks to Agadmator for having a personality that makes chess analysis fun. I started playing because of these videos and managed to get a few friends interested also.
"it is what it is" a man of culture
Looking at it in hindsight, it looks like Boden played like an amature at times--but something I *love* about this channel is how Antonio shows respect for all the players regardless of their skill level.
Soyeah!! Nice video. I wish Morphy found the most crushing move.
Every body makes fun but no one says hello back hello agad!!😊
wasn't even sure bodies were capable of doing that
10:55 "When you have a queen blocking three connected passed pawns that's very sad."
happy birthday JPTB and good work on graduating. congratz ChessBro! I love this community. Have a nice day everyone. Also, waiting to agadmatorino !
agadmatorino didn't show up
I simply love the good stuff
Love from Nepal
Same here 😊😊
Cheers from Los Angeles! Hope you are save from the virus. We've not only got the virus, we've got riots!
It seems like most chess moves ask, "What do you want to do here?"
What’s the idea here??
As far as my interpretation of the game goes, that should be the point of every move: you're creating a problem for your opponent to solve.
Quality stuff even back then. Damn Chess was,is and will be a masterpiece game
I love how you make Morphy sound like he talks about himself in the third person.
The knight today was just chilling by the side of the board.
This game should be called the knight's watch
Still a better game than Game of Thrones
Someone once told me "A knight on the rim is grim."
@@betochiwas Jua-cam.com/video/hdjTbv2n3Zs/v-deo.html
And it is in this position that his watch had ended
I enjoyed the excellent spelling on Morphy's name in this video!
Awesome coverage of you. So many games, presentations. Thanks!
3:00 which is, which is the worst idea- what a savage @agadmator !
I sometimes feel like that lonely knight on the edge, watching all the exciting things happen on the other side without any chance to participate :(
Love your Morphy saga
there is nothing more enjoyable than a person who can graciously admit their mistakes, and learn from them. you sir, are a gentleman and a scholar 😎🤜🤛
Every day I look forward to my lunch at work. It means I get to enjoy one chess game narrated by you. Thank you.
I love your sagas aggy but especially this one .... brilliant !
morphy suffers with a bad opening by taking a couple more minutes to win
Nice one!! keep uploading and entertaining us.
Morphy was such a genius. What style! Wish I could see him against the masters of today.
Wow!! That key position is one of THE worst that I've ever seen. As you noted, almost any continuation there wins because of so many weaknesses, the pinned knight, and the overworked queen. Always a pleasure seeing a game from the incredible Paul Morphy. Thank you again Antonio for a great channel, a nice game, and for being such a fun, informative teacher who is also such a genuinely kind, nice guy. Also, always love seeing your dog. God bless!
I love watching your videos and gives me a break of what's going on in the world 😁
Always enjoy your channel. Thank you.
I found the 5:55 move! I find it difficult to find the best move in modern games, even I found them it is usually due to wrong reasons. But here, I found then for the same reason that agad gave. I think Magnus is right when he said that studying classical games is good
'And it is as of move 10 that we have a completely OLD game'
1. Whoever recites Ayatul-Kursi (Surah 2:255) immediately after each prescribed prayer, then
nothing can prevent him from entering Paradise except death! - Ensure you memorise and recite
this ayah if you want Jannah. There are many other virtues to Ayatul-Kursi!
2. No one will enter paradise because of his good deeds but because of Allah’s mercy (Bukhari) -
Always ask for the mercy of Allah and His mercy and you will Insha-Allah earn as Allah is Al-Afu
(The Pardoner, The Most Forgiving) and ar-Razzāq (The Provider). One of the best times to ask his mercy is prayer times as you know.
3. Whoever performs wudhu (ablution) and does so well, and then says: Ashhadu al-la ilaaha
illallaah wahdahu la shareeka lahu wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan 'abduhu wa rasuluhu (I testify that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah. He is Alone, having no partners. And I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and messenger) all 8 of the gates of Paradise are opened for them--and they can enter from whichever they wish! (Sahih Muslim) - Wudhu in itself has many virtues to help you enter Jannah yet performing this with it will massively increase your chance of Entering Jannah.
4. Whoever prays the two cool prayers (Asr and Fajr) will go to Paradise. (Sahih al-Bukhari). - Try
your best to NEVER miss any of your prayers. Each participates enormously in making you among those who enter Jannah.
5. Performing the non-obligatory prayers e.g. the Sunnah of the 5 obligatory prayers and night
prayers boost your chance of entering Jannah and Jannah-al Firdaws TREMENDOUSLY. It will be
the wisest decision to pray the non-obligatory prayers too.
6. Whoever asks Allah for Paradise 3 times Paradise will say, ‘O Allah, admit him to Paradise.’
Whoever seeks protection from the Fire 3 times, Hell will say, ‘O Allah, protect him from the Fire.’ (al-
Tirmidhi, 2572)
7. Whoever calls the Adhan for 12 years, Jannah will become mandatory for him. (Sunan Ibn Majah).
- If this is so perform the Adhan even when you pray alone! (IF YOU ARE NEW TO ISLAM: A female
doesn’t perform the Adhan).
8. After every prayer you can Insha-Allah have wrong actions forgiven even if they are abundant as the foam on the sea. For this when you are performing the Tasbih say: Subhana'llah 33 times and Allahu Akbar 33 times and Al-hamdu lillah 33 times, and seal the 100 with La ilaha illa'llah, wahdahu la sharika lah, lahu'l mulku wa lahu'l hamd, wa huwa ala kulli shay'in qadr - Remember Allah is Al-Afu (The Pardoner, The Most Forgiving). He shall Insha-Allah bless you with his mercy (Proof: Muwatta Imam Malik)
9. Laa 'illaha 'illallahu wahdahu la shareeka lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu, wa Huwa 'alaa kulli
shay'in Qadeer Subhaanallahi, walhamdu lillaahi, wa laa 'ilaha 'illallahu, wallaahu 'akbar, wa laa
hawla wa laa Quwwata 'illaa billaahil-'Aliyyil-'Adheem, Rabbighfir lee - Whoever says this will be forgiven, and if he supplicates Allah, his prayer will be answered; if he performs ablution and prays, his prayer will be accepted. (Al-Bukhari, cf. Al-Asqalani, Fathul-Bari 3/39, among others. The
wording here is from Ibn Majah 2/335) - PERFORM THIS WHEN YOU WAKE UP
10. "Indeed, anyone who fasts for 1 day for Allah's Pleasure, Allah will keep his face away from the (Hell) fire for (a distance covered by a journey of) 70 years (Bukhari)! - Outside the month of Ramadan fast regularly e.g. Mondays and Thursdays.
11. Whoever takes a path in search of knowledge, Allah will make easy for him the path to Jannah (Jami` at-Tirmidhi)
12. Whosoever last words are: La ilaha illa Allah, will enter Paradise. (Sunan Abu Dawud). One of
the names of Allah is Al-Mujeeb (The Responsive). Ask Allah every day to make your last words La ilaha illa Allah. Allah shall Insha’Allah respond to you. Why? Because he is Al-Mujeeb (The Responsive)! Never quit asking Allah! One of the best times to ask Allah almighty is when you ask Allah almighty for something in the times of obligatory prayer.
13. If you want a very high position in Jannah ask Allah to be blessed with one of the best positions
of Jannah-Al-Firdaws. Ask in all your obligatory prayers and other good times about 3 times or more.
NEVER STOP this! You will Insha’Allah get a response of a Yes. Many reasons for this e.g. Allah is Al-Mujeeb (The Responsive) and he is Ar-Razzaq (The Provider) he shall provide you with the good answer Insha’Allah.
14. Recite Durood/Salawat regularly. So many virtues from a Durood. Many different Duroods
available to recite with great benefits to increase your chance of entering Jannah. Research them.
Reciting a Durood is showing love for our prophet!
15. As the most beloved deed to Allah is that which is done regularly even if it is small it would be good to take a habit in reciting a specific surah of the Holy Quran several times in a specific part of the day every single day. One good example is Surah al-Fātiḥah that gives a reward of reciting 2/3 of the Quran which is equal to about 2,157,807 Good Deeds (this is from the view that Quran has 323671 letters). Reciting this many times regularly will increase your chance of entering Jannah even more.
16. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: ‘Whoever reads Surah
al-Kahf on the day of Jumu’ah, a light will shine for him from beneath his feet to the clouds of the
sky, which will shine for him on the Day of Resurrection, and he will be forgiven (his sins) between the two Fridays. - Your chance of entering Jannah is MUCH HIGHER if you recite this surah.
17. Allah has ninety-nine names, one hundred less one. Anyone who learns them will enter Jannah. (Agreed upon by Al-Bukhari and Muslim) - By definition memorizing the names, understanding their meanings, acting in accordance with their implications and calling upon Allah by them will earn you a position in Jannah.
18. Earning good deeds after death is another way to enter Jannah: “When the human being dies, his deeds come to an end except for 3: ongoing charity, beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for him.” (Sahih Muslim 1631) - Note that the beneficial knowledge is one of the 3 ways to earn good deeds even after death. For this give all out there your beneficial knowledge of Islam to help them for their afterlife. Whenever they practice what you teach them you gain good deeds.
Even if you pass away you gain good deeds because the help you gave out will In sha-Allah be spread out for generations and you would be the one to gain good deeds whenever anyone
practices from the help you once gave out after it reaches them due to you. Imagine earning
multibillions of good deeds In sha-Allah!!! Your position in the afterlife will Insha-Allah be Jannah
from something simple you do. So why not do it? Now that there are many new ways of entering
Jannah I believe you may have been introduced to; take these ways, practice them and introduce
them to all out there.
Who else looks at the comments immediately to find agadmatorio's time stamp posts
PHEW! Morphy games back as of yesterday. Only Tal games come close IMO Agad. Looking forward to the next.
"And this is just very sad. When you have a queen blocking three connected pass pawns, that's very sad." god damn why did that made me laugh so much
The position has never been reached again...
How dare u say it wasn't! 🤣
"welcome back to the good stuff" It's all good man!
MVL would be proud of that knight
This comment is underrated 😂😂
This channel is such an endless loop
A great game to demonstrate "A knight on the rim is grim."
Oh man that was a destructive midgame
Welcome back to saga.
Checkmate with pawns on e7 and f7 is absolutely beautiful.
Great line at the end. This way if players switch colors you're setting up for the next game
One thing morphy always starts slowly and shakily in the beginning but as the series progresses he gains ground and destoys his opponents just give time to understand his opponent then there is no stopping him
I imagine that if Morphy were born in 1997 instead of 1837 (with access to all the latest opening theory and chess engines) he would be 3000+ elo and everyone would be getting WASTED.
Nice game to analyze, this Na5 move do happens quite often in blitz format in the phili, italian or scotch game even among 1600 ish players so it's interesting to see how to exploit that positional weakness.
going down in history with a move that will never be repeated 😬
What happened to Medo, he doesn't seem energetic today:(
Playing the Medo Arena was probably very tiring
Probably too warm for him and he's just chilling :)
I can't believe it, not only one but two Morphy Saga Episodes within 24 hours
Actually Morphy considered Boden a strong player in spite of his 6-1, 4 draws record against him. Here's a fine 57 move drawn game by Boden with white down the exchange: www.chess.com/blog/batgirl/s-s-boden
That checkmate has to be the best one Ive ever seen.
Agad, please bring us the game xyong vs carlsen that happened today. It was a really wild one
I love how Morphy literally didn’t move his light square bishop once and yet it put a lot of pressure on the kingside all match and even played a part on the checkmate
So many captures!
6:02 cuptures captures
Thanks. I just came.
I thought of an idea but I don't know if it would be possible or if it would actually work the way I think it would. Would it be possible to put every known morphy game into an engine and make a sort of morphy ai that would play matches and would take his play style into account? This way they could get a better idea of his true skill level as it stands today? Just a thought.
"And it is as of move 10 that this position has never been reached again". Love that.
Actually happy that lendores and other tournaments took a halt co s I can see my boy Morphy mating 😉
Captures captures...
Morphy played so well.
04:18 With N stranded on a5, down a piece.
But also Bb6 is doing nothing. It is like black is down 2 pieces
07:53 Queen to c3 is amazing. Double attack on f6 and threatening b4
Yesss, the GOOD STUFF!!!
Thks agad sir wow two Morphy gems in a day what more can one ask for in these depressing lockdown times I would like to contribute too but don't know how to by the way I'm Indian thks agad sir
This poison has never been searched again. I am binging "The Tales of the Unexpected" and am inspired. :) Both players on pictues look like they had been decapitated and their heads glued to others' bodies.
I have been watching your channel for about a year People in Syria die of hunger because of the economic sanctions imposed on them and because of the activation of Caesar’s law. People must know what is happening here .. a real tragedy
Morphy's play is legendary
"it izz what it izzz" 11:04
Having a Queen, block 3 connected passed pawns is really really sad compared to my crush "seening" all of my messages in facebook chat
☺
💔
g5 can also be played in 8:26 where a bishop can be won due to the same pinning threat
Yeah deep down his heart Morphy thought Boden is a patzer.
Its a bit rare i was this early, and able to find the move without pause the video lol
I can always watch Morphys games....
13:14: Somewhere in the distance, a motor vehicle is running, and whoever was driving it will never know that their vehicle mystically had a moment on a chess video.
How do I get info about next the tournament?
This is the good stuff.
Paul Charles Morphy!!!
Murphy
Those good old days that chess was your original thoughts not some prepared theories
I would promote both pawns to queen and checkmated
We should award Morphy with a Morphy Head for this one...
11:25 the game was so hard Boden decided to blow up the board
"This is just very sad when you have a queen blocking three passed pawns."
Lol I'm gonna remember that.
Every chess master once a beginner except Paul Charles Morphy
Dah Gud Stuff welcomes me back, and I welcome it in return.
The black Night has left the conversation.
Amazing game by Morphy
The good stuff.
I feel bad for that stranded knight. it seemed so lonely.
