    That was the most beautiful game I've ever seen. Morphy's position in move 14 is so enjoyable, so cunning. And yet it's Barnes that's producing puzzling attack strategies, which Morphy deflects with sheer ingenuity. Every move in this game is connected to a brilliant and exciting idea.

    Such a bold exchange sacrifice by Morphy. I was all the time thinking that Black was in trouble, but he solved everything by just sacrificing the exchange and counting on the superior activity of his rook, and to use the Bishop for defence purposes. Brilliant.

    Having played chess in Jr. High & High School, my interest started picking up again a few years after college, when Bobby started making news, going into the Championship match vs Spassky in Reykjavik (1972).
    I think I recall hearing about the amazing stories of Paul Morphy while I was still in HS (class of '65), but those stories were definitely trotted out again with the advent of Fischer.
    And considering what happened after the '72 match, the two make an odd, eerie sort of quasi-parallel.
    It's almost enough to make you take reincarnation seriously. ;-)
    Thanks, agadmator, for another fine analysis of another historical game!

    I am very interested how Morphy and others analysed the match afterwards. In modern times computers are used which makes it very easy and tells even some wierd engine moves.

    2:54 “And it’s as of move 14 that this position as never been reached again”
    Just sound weird but sooo good compared to “never reached before”

    12:00 Wow....I was thinking he could force a stalemate, until I realized he's forced to move his pawn.

    These games with Barnes are a lot of fun. All good theory and brain power and creativity. No computer prep.

    very nice. I am just a casual viewer but I did see the pawn move, and I thought it's necessary for further movement..., - very nice position by the way how the rooks were kind of cut off there even though they could move - however that checkmate was kind of new to me. Nice show then I guess haha

    12:19 the real savage move is promoting to a bishop and after white pawn moves Be4 checkmate :)

    Great video as always. 5:06 its not really force smotheredmate, Rxf7 is available, nonetheless its still forcemate.
