Start the Morphy Saga here • The Pride and Sorrow o...
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.

Can't wait for the bar and library to re-open so i can tell my friends that!
lol
😂😂😂
Looks like you might have to wait for 18 months. Dont worry it's for your own good. There's a nasty flu out there...
It is nasty but very likely not a flu
😂😂😂😂😂
That wasn’t a disgusting engine line, that was a Tal line.
It was a shit line. Morphy can just play his king to the right of the board and he's completely safe
@@michaeltrumph121 congratulations master, u have just lost a bishop for playing king f8
@@1.4142
No. when he shows that computer line, why doesn't he ever go to the right with the king ?
@@michaeltrumph121 because, you lose a bishop for no reason lol
@@morallygray6527
At around 3:20, what if u play queen d6 instead of queen e6 ?
That way, u protect both the bishop and u make room for your king on e6.
"And it is in this position that Paul Morphy resigned the game" is almost as incredible to hear as "and it is in this position that Stockfish resigned the game". Kudos to Paulsen, didn't know what a hell of a player he was!
Paulsen was a top class player, although he wouldn't hit his prime until later into the 1870's. Worth noting that his road to the final match was much the same as Morphy's - round 1: 3-0, round 2: 2-0, round 3: 2.5-0.5(opponent resigned the match after 2 losses for whatever reason). He was by and large the 2nd best player in America, and given that #1 was Mr. Morphy, that's quite the accomplishment.
Morphy 😂. Are you a Ben Fan?
Paulsen is one of the greatest of his era for sure. There were other great players back then and Paulsen is one of them
"Tilted." Nobody is immune...
"Nasty Discoveries" should be a shirt in your merch store
a lot of nasty discoveries
And the #1 adult film of 2020 goes to "A Lot Of Nasty Discoveries"
"Improve the position of the king"
Yeah, way better than some of the lame catch phrases like Hello Everyone.
I was thinking this here also. He says it every video but quite a bit here. I love it
My friends at the library AND bar were so shocked, some dropped their chess books others dropped their beer mugs.
"It was in this position that Paul Charles Morphy resigned the game."
The rarest thing I have ever heard ☹️
ok.
If my internet service provider provides me with the service of internet 😂
Ah yes
oh nostalgia
ok.
Old but gold.
Still reality in Australia.
"... if my internet service provider, you know, provides me with the service of internet"
That's gold
So thats how Morphy plays when he is tilted
I never get tilted.
son of morphy
Sometimes I get so over the top tilted. I mean shaking with utter rage. Often I go on a win streak at such times.

Credit: it was in this position agadmaterino and idk who made this type of comment first ever!
The good Stuff is back!!!
Why is Morphy playing two games in a row with black? Especially since in game 4 (if i remember correctly) he will have black also .
ghiles ziat good question some please answer!
Check description
@@Kellestial I can't find the answer to his question in the description, if there is one
back in those days, many match conditions were written like "twenty one games, draws not counting." Sometimes players took this literally and kept their colours in the next game. If you go back to Morphy's match against Lichtenhein, he also has Black two games in a row, for the same reason.
Felipeeefl I never said the answer was in the description, I just said to check it :0
"Paul Charles Morphy resigned the game"
...well, according to the news I almost finished my life without hearing this kind of blasphemy and slander.
"It is shocking and hard to hear" Paul Morphy resigns.
I would never resign. That was an imposter.
@@paulmorphy6314 just admit it, you have weak psyche
Herbert Gearing oh don't worry, Morphy only lost 2 games in this match, and i think he won 5 or 7 was it? against Paulsen... I can't remember.. But i remember that he only lost 2 games in this
@@Miter_everyCorner-uk6on EVERYBODY HATES SPOILERS. FUCK YOU DUDE GTFO. YOURE JUST BRAGGING. NO ONE CARES HOW MUCH YOU KNOW ABOUT MORPHY.
ok
10:39 -- Keeping that knight off of f4 is so important that the engine proclaims Bg5 as Black's best move (instead of the disastrous rook slide), after which a rating of only +1.3 at depth 30 (and declining as calculation continues) indicates that the position can be held to a draw.
2:58 “For those of you who were able to to it, congratulations, as both Paulsen and Morphy missed it. You are an excellent user of engines.”
Thanks for the videos. Maybe Morphy was still fuming they hadn't yet invented the chess clock, but fair play to Paulsen who apparantly was a gentleman despite taking forever to move. After all he was playing Morphy.
i miss the GMs at the candidates standing and circling their prey... jus first class commentary
These Paulsen Morphy power rangers
@Agadmator Please the review the game “The pearl of wijk aan zee” Black goes on an epic king hunt where the white king ends up on h6 after many beautiful sacrifices seemingly out of nowhere!
I think he has already covered that one...dunno for sure though
V Sharma Provide a link
@@TCarr897 I said I think he has done dunno where is it search on youtube maybe
I can't believe he resigned so shocking I thought he was invincible
Nella Albarracin, he also lost a game to Adolf Andersen who played a3 as a first move.
ok.
Can’t win them all sadly
Vidi se po naglasku da si sa nasih prostora :)
Dobre videe imas, samo napred
Thanks agarmator it's 2 am in India and I could not find new content. So Cheers to you again.😅
OMG just as a hit my subscription! Thank you Agad!
Sure thing!
This is the first time you gave me a couple of seconds and I actually only needed a couple of seconds so patting myself in the back here lol
Well it is hard to imagine that Morphy resigned and Paulsen won to me Morphy is the goat well Paulsen came prepared did his homework well Morphy was a natural while Paulsen was the studious type well hardwork pays but still a great game how strange Morphy the attacker was on defensive mode through out no brilliancy moves here but still a wonderful game agad great job I can't wait what happens next thks to you you made my day as we are in lockdown in india first thing I did in morning watched your upload thks again
Thank you agad for uploading videos in these tough days...
He, Morphy, seemed more reckless than patient here. He was upset at himself, and I personally don't think Morphy respected Paulson after their blindfold match and then the last game where Paulson took long. Possibly a tactic on Paulson's part? Test the patience of Morphy while seeming to be confused/ unaware of Morphy's intentions?
"If my internet service provider provides me with internet" 😂😂😂
He was probably joking but they are talking about cutting "non essential" feeds.
13:18 if my internet service provider provides me with the service of internet... lmaoooo.. gets me everytime
I can't believe Morphy would do this 😭 I'm crying and shaking rn
I love the line "tell your friends at the bar and library" ^^
Welcome back to the good stuff.
#suggestion -- when giving those engine lines for morphy games, it would be great to know *when* the line was first discovered/suggested.
Your lichess notifications trigger me to switch tabs and check, I fall for it every time!
On 21. c4, 21... h3 22. Qe3 h3 (and not g3) 23. g3 is the best line for Black, contrary to what Mr. Radić says.
I got BOTH pause the videos right. My day is made 🥳
27... f5 and 28... Re6: suicide moves by Morphy. 28. e5, 29. Nf4 and 30. Rxd7 are the machine moves, Paulson exploited the mistakes well.
Hello Agadmator: Love your video's. Your personality is as subtle as is your strength in analysis! I am grateful for learning a little everyday.
Will you consider analyzing specific openings that you think is the future of Morphy, the Magician, and Alphazero?
Morphy Died 180 Years ago
“Nasty discoveries” that sounds like my attitude towards women
Antonio I can't tell my friends at the bar or the library because they are all closed! I'll roll myself into a ball now and cry alone for Morphy.
Good lesson in what playing angry will lead to.
Paulsen was a solid positional player as seen in this game and in the Paulsen variation of the Sicilian that I also play.
That quote is genius.
I've put off sharing these games with my friends at the bar and library so that I can share them with my other friends at the clinic and the morgue.
Even back then they could play games of chess with peace
Now we have Coronavirus
That High Guy Yeah, they had plague, cholera, yellow fever, polio among other worse substitutes. Morphy died from infection caused by a scratch from the wide rim of another man’s hat. An impacted tooth could kill you. No vaccines other than for anthrax which was only given to livestock. Anesthesiologists had ether and morphine which were tricky and deadly. Wake up and thank the universe that you’re alive in 2020. This COVID will kill as many as a bad flu season. China and Italian cases are dropping and the vast majority of deaths occur in seniors with underlying conditions. A buddy of mine died at 29 from simple pneumonia that didn’t respond to antibiotics. Death will take all so you might as well live now.
@@ChrisHyde537 Coronavirus would have killed up to 90 million people without the mass quarantine effort.
@@ChrisHyde537 By Morphy did you mean Paul C. Morphy's father?
V Sharma Yeah,
Paulson played an excellent game I guess Morphy is similar to being a Magnus of that era very rarely lost Nice Game Thanks Agadmator have to enjoy these pre engine games players won and lost on their own talent
True. First Tym to hear those words, "...and Paul Morphy resigned the game!" He's probly tired of winning!
Aaah... The Good Stuff...!
I would love to watch your video. Looking forward to the match between Topalov vs Kasparov 1999
0:47
My fave series so far
Great stuff!
I believe the Original saying is " A bad day of fishing is better than a good day at work" but chess works well also.
Love your content, Agadmator! Maybe you could make a video on Arthur Bisguier vs Hikaru Nakamura from 1998. Hikaru beats a GM at age 10.
3:05 yeah, I saw that I could continue checking either by rook or queen, but then no more ideas :(
I wanted to be the first to comment but you guys are so fast!!!
You got any more of that good stuff ‘sniff sniff’
Everytime he says your friend at the var and the library i have to laugh lmao
13:18 if my internet service provider provides me with the service of internet
Sergio Starseeker #agadmator quote
😂😂
Thanks. No one wins them all.
@11:44
"Game 3 of their match in 1857 at the First American Chess Congress went to Louis Paulsen. Do mention this to your friends at the bar and the library."
LOL
Favorite new quote “he played like a barbarian”. I will use that on my brother.
at 10:41 why doesn't nd4 work?it has the same idea of kicking away the rook but this time it also hits the c6 pawn directly
CHESS!!!
Oh wow just wow
This just makes him even more of an anime character.
That was a Shyamalan twist ending
Wow! This Paulsen fellow is pretty good at chess.
So wanted you to give Paulsen a Morphy head here.
You may learn much more from a game you lose than from a game you win. You will have to lose hundreds of games before becoming a good player. +-
13:18 “if my internet service provider, ya know, provides me with the service of internet.”
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He did what??? If the bar and library were open I would tell people that Morphy resigned and of course they would look at me like a weirdo and tell me to shut up. Ah good times.... In these difficult times I am very grateful to have my Croatian friend telling stories and enhancing knowledge. Cheers everyone.
It is a shame that because of our perspective we tend to evaluate more modern players as stronger. I believe that despite seemingly lower levels of competition, a dominant champion of any Era could be competitive in the modern Era if they were born in our time. You learn from the experience you have, and chess is about learning and adapting.
Shocking for me...
I saw the move at 3:06, but I would not have spotted it over the board.
Agad with his nasty engines lines
Paul morphy and Paulsen that don't even have computers for over 100 years more: am I a joke to you?
4:35 i saw Nxb8, axb8 then comes Qa8 , Rbb7 then finally Qxb8 with mate
Hey, that's my quote on top of the screen!!
Haha, really? Cool, where did you initially post it? Love it.
@@skysphr it was a joke
The good stuff!
That b4 move is like Evans gambit ;)
This is what makes Chess interesting
I found the engine line, but only the first move i didn't bother calculating anything haha
AGADMATOR!!!
Nasty discoveries are the best discoveries
We need a new video buddy, it's been 16 hours, can't wait for the next one!
Yes the good stuff
Time for Morphy to start kicking ass
Oh man.
3:07 I found the move yayyyyy!!!
This is unbelievable
And awesome
We are all students of Tal. I found that move instantly.
Poor Paul. He should have been awarded his own head but upside-down.
Finally he lost! Thanx 4 your videos
It all just looked like Morphy didn't have his mind at the table.
I usually do go to the nearby pub with my friends and we discuss some chess, but I've had to stay indoors (thank you, COVID-19) .
4:24 why not just knight capture bishop? its fall with check and after black recapture, white go bishop to d8 check and take the queen. white also have more pawn so should be winning endgame right?
Well im happy, i correctly played knight F4
