      Cellkist, I saw the line until the queen's check. I have 2450 elo on chess.com puzzle, my mind is very fast when it comes to calculations. to see the knight's move I just saw that it was the piece that could defend the pawn, and that the other knight was in a cage, so I would have won it later. The queen was still under fire, so if you catch and the opponent resumes, after my queen moves her tower will be on fire, and so will the queen. just to say, my iq is 140, tested when I was 13 years old as a professional, so no, I'm telling the truth.

    As I watch these Morphy games they all seem to turn within a space of about 3 moves just after the openings. Some kind of standard opening game, then within about 3 moves Morphy is in better position with better development and is ready to attack. The rest of the game the opponent is defending.

    I saw agadmator in my dream today!
    I saw a chess match, which took place some time in the 1400s, between a human and an engine (yes, an engine in the 1400s; dreams can be weird). Agadmator was explaining all the moves. The engine was playing with white, while the human had black pieces. In the end, the engine won via checkmate. Agadmator went into great depth explaining how this is a checkmate.
    Once he was done though, he told us that it wasn't a checkmate and described how it could have been prevented (the king had to be moved one step to the left) and that the person playing just failed to realize that and gave up, believing that he had lost!
    The weirdest part was that both kings were represented by a stack of paper plates, (naturally, a black stack and a white stack) and occupied nine squares (3x3)!

    Such a great game, in part because of the unexplored amazing lines of defense for black.
    Oh I wish Lichtenhein had found one just to see how Morphy would have reacted haha

    At 6:31 , why is bxe4 not a good move? Lichtenhein just had a bad followup. After Morphy captured d3xe4 black should have played h7xg5 since he removed one defender of that pawn. So, now black is up a pawn, Morphy has an isolated e pawn (which is now attacked by the knight!), the knight also protects the f7 pawn now (so the shenanigans Morphy tried in his line won't be a threat), Morphy's knight is still trapped, the h3 pawn is hanging ... is there something I missed? Because damn, I found c6xef and just because Lichtenstein screwed it up I won't get my virtual win over Paul effing Morphy!

    Agad, can you post a video where Morphy and Tal loses? The best would be a game where Tal does his ordinary routine of crazy play, and it completely backfires on him. Is that possible? Cheers.
