      I think Morphy was a better player than Fischer because he didn't have as many giant's shoulders to stand upon. It's a tragedy that severe mental illness contributed to the early end of his life. Imagine how much better he could have become at the game.

    I believe the game against Lewis was blindfold simul. Awesome by Morphy. And in my opinion the only goat in all of chess history. Of course no one has to agree with me as chess chess has evolved so much. He is my all time favourite now since I came to know about him and started watching his game about three years back. A great video.

    Game 2 shown Morphy-John William Schulten, New York 1857 was presented as a blind game. This is also an error in any book and was never presented as a blind game.
    To be precise, it was the 10th game of their match which finished 23-1 in favor of Morphy

    The 4th match shown Morphy-Ford is a colossal error perpetrated in all Morphy books. a game between and Ernest Morphy and Dr. A. P. Ford on Oct 5, 1840. The reason for this is that Philip Sergeant, in his book "Morphy's Games of Chess", erroneously presented it as a Blind Game by Paul Morphy.] This game is found in the New Orleans Sundey Star dated Oct 29, 1865 until the 22nd move dated Oct 5, 1810

  • @sarahbethcohen2864
    @sarahbethcohen2864 Рік тому +4

    Nice analysis, One small correction: I noticed the photo of Thomas Jefferson in the final game. Morphy's opponent wasn't surnamed Jefferson. His name was Thomas Jefferson Bryan and he was from Philadelphia, though the game was played in NY. This game was also played at Knight-odds (i.e. with White's QN removed in the initial setup). This is relevant because Bryan was a well known chess figure in both New York and Paris. He had acted in helping set up the preliminaries for the famous Staunton-St. Amant match in 1843 as one of Stauton's seconds. The game you present here is the only surviving score of the 80+ games he and Morphy contested. They had played 10 games in which Morphy gave the odds of a pawn and three moves, then more than 70 games at Knight-odds. Morphy and Bryan seemed to have been friends. He was in Paris when Morphy gave his 8 bd blind simul at la Regence.
    After Morphy lost the first game in his match with Anderssen, offering the Evan's Gambit, he remarked to Fred Edge that the game "proved to him that the Evans is indubitably a lost game for the first player, if the defense be carefully played; inasmuch as the former can never recover the gambit pawn, and the position supposed to be acquired at the outset, cannot be maintained."
    Yet, out of about the 80+ recorded Evan's Gambits that he played, Morphy only lost 2 playing even and a just a few at Rook and Knight odds.

      @@SammyChess1 His name wasn't "Thomas Jefferson." it was "Thomas Jefferson Bryan" and he was universally called "T.J. Bryan." I think the only difference in the analysis would be to point out that there was a great discrepancy in the contestants' skill level and that Morphy was able to develop so quickly as to make the absence of the Knight moot.
