    Just seeing how badly outplayed Lichtenhein is in this game is quite stunning. The players in this tournament were mostly all strong masters of the era and Morphy was far beyond them. Even Anderssen, whom I consider the de facto World Champion of his time (not Staunton), looked far below the standard of Morphy. That's saying a lot because Anderssen was one of the great players in his own right.

    I started playing chess because of my friend and he used to just crush me with his queen so early in the game and i couldnt even defend against that. I was terrible, but then i got hooked to your channel and been watching you for like 3 months now pretty much every day. How the tables have turned, he doesnt wanna play against me anymore because i crush him :D I'm climbing to 1800 elo on lichess all thanks to you. You made this game fun for me. Your videos are so entertaining and clean. Clearly a lot of effort put into them and your analysis, showing different variations of moves with detail is just excellent and very informative. Thank you so much!

    Evan's gambit by Morphy himself... What a treat to watch...

    At 9:30 it's actually better for black to just move the king to D8 instead of capturing the knight, despite the rook after an upcoming check by the queen.

    Hello Antonio, I always knew the basic rules of chess and abstract things like casteling, but you really showed me the beauty of this game. I showed my sister how to play and now we play a game nearly every day and she is fascinated by it. Thank you!

    Morphy, as great a player as he was, always seemed to NOT go for the kill when he had the chance. I don't know if this was considered gentlemanly, or whether it was a product of the style at the time, or whether it was just a hole in his game, but I am intrigued by how often you point out mate lines that Morphy did NOT follow.
