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.

@douggieharrison6913 3 года назад

Morphy is a another van Gogh in my opinion. His fianceè left him because she didn't want to marry "some chess player." His opponents with massive clout convinced the public he was in the wrong. They dodged him saying they were sick, fatigued, and busy despite the fact he travelled halfway across the world to challenge them. He retired at age 22....22!!! Magnus was champion at 23 and Morphy retired the world's undisputed at 22. His law firm was basically a failure and he never saw any level of success beyond his chess abilities. He died seeing himself as a relative failure... ...but after his death when chess grew the world finally saw his artistic genius. Only posthumously did he become the legend, feared, Old God of Chess that he is known as today. He never reaped any benefit from the game that has immortalized his name, but we will never forget...and we will always respect the massive genius that was Paul Morphy。 His most gangster move was when Harrwitz told him to wait and put a hiatus on their match. To pass the time, Morphy held a blindfold simultaneous (not blindfold but in another room) against 8 players and crushed them. Harrwitz used evry excuse in the book, but eventually had to step up to the plate and get his ass railed. Agad's best series imo was Morphy v. Harrwitz. I would check my phone constantly for that notification

It was so inconsiderate of the Duke and Count to invite Morphy to the opera only to force him to sit in their luxury box with his back to the stage, but Morphy didn't care-he just took in the show looking over his shoulder and whenever they'd make a move he'd turn back, glance at the board and blitz his reply, trying to end the game as quickly as possible so he could really enjoy the opera. He succeeded admirably.

@elasiduo108 3 года назад

At last, we're back with the good stuff. Regarding the "situation" with Staunton, I think chess historians and commentators have created such a drama regarding a pretty minor issue, in terms of Morphy's chess achievements. Staunton was semi-retired from chess at the time, and well past his prime. Probably he was ducking Morphy, but what's the big deal: I think it's clear he would have been crushed by Morphy, just as everyone else was crushed. I think the matches against Harrwitz and Anderssen were far more important in terms of Morphy's achievements, and I don't think he missed a lot by not playing Staunton. Regarding the game itself, a wonderful classic. I've read many commentators saying this game is "overrated", but I disagree. Although Black's game is very poor, it's a very good example for beginners regarding the importance of development, activity and how to crush a passive position with multiple manouvers of "removing the defender". A very nice game.

@logiciananimal 3 года назад

To my mind, assuming the history is as reported, it was S's attitude. If he'd just said: "I was wrong, I won't play you, sorry to lead you on." or that sort of thing, it would be a lot better a situation. But to snip correspondence, make excuse constantly (and keep changing them) hold other more "frivolous" events when claiming to be busy and tired, etc. all strike me as "unsportsmanlike" or similar.

@elasiduo108 3 года назад

@@logiciananimal I agree that Staunton's attitude was probably "unsportsmanlike" as you said. My issue is that the whole story is blown out of proportion. One almost thinks that Morphy went to Europe just to play him, which, as far as I know, is not the case at all: he was just showing off his chess talent against the best players of Europe. Staunton was just another one, and, as I mentioned, already semi-retired and well past his prime. His last famous tournament, as far as I recall now, was London 1851, in which he peformed poorly (Anderssen won). Staunton was at his prime in the 1840s, and I seriously doubt that even Morphy considered him "the player I must beat to prove I'm the best". So yeah, Staunton ducked Morphy, and acted in somewhat dubious fashion, but my point is: "What's the big deal". Morphy defeated the best ACTIVE players in his visit to Europe, such as Harrwitz and Anderssen. The whole issue with Staunton, for me at least, is just a footnote in Morphy's amazing chess tour in Europe, and that's why I'm always amazed of all the pages and pages, and studies and accusations that this issue brings.

@dr.bluesfield3629 3 года назад

@@elasiduo108 while I agree with you that the whole issue is blown out of proportion because Staunton was already way past his prime and never that good to begin with anyway, but your statement that Staunton was just another one on Morphys tick list in Europe amongst many others is factually wrong. To the contrary, Staunton was the cardinal reason for Morphy to go to Europe because he still had the reputation of being the best player in the world, and Morphy specifically wanted to cross blades with the supposedly best European player after his victory at the US Championship in New York. From the outset, the Staunton match was the motivation for the trip and he only started to play all the other masters (luckily for us!) because Staunton kept ducking him so he could bridge the time. But you are right in saying that it wasn't a great loss to the chess world as it would have been a humiliating slaughter festival anyway. The strongest player at the time was effectively Adolf Anderssen so it's much better for posterity and for the chess community's insights that those two played instead.

@elasiduo108 3 года назад

@@dr.bluesfield3629 I understand. Perhaps I don't know all the details, and it's clear that Staunton had some reputation. But then again, I'm not entirely sure that by 1858 he was still being considered the "best player in the world". A highly respected figure, for sure, but then again, I think a case can be made that after 1851, Anderssen was considered the better player. Perhaps I'm commiting the error of making the argument with the benefit of hindsight, because we all know that Staunton after the 1840s was past his prime, and Morphy indeed beat the best active players of Europe in his trip. It just amazes me that I'm always reading documents and stories of this match, which, in my opinion, it's clear it would have been just another massacre in favor of Morphy. In chess history I think there are far more interesting potential matches which failed to materialize: Capa vs Alekhine 2, Fischer vs Karpov, Lasker vs Rubinstein or Pillsbury, and a long etc. It always amazes me the longevity of the controversy of this match which, as we agreed, probably it wouldn't have been a very interesting one.

@dr.bluesfield3629 3 года назад

@@elasiduo108 for me the sadest of these missed opportunities was the Fischer Karpov match. As for Staunton, it is indeed strange that he still held this reputation when he had already been beaten by Anderssen in the 1851 London tournament, but he was still widely considered to be the legitimate champ.

Morphy was born in the wrong era but, at the same time, in the right era. Today he might've been another magnus but his talent is what fascinates us. Watching this saga makes it seem as if he had a long career. He retired at 22, many of us are older than him and so it's absurd.

#suggestion can you please redo the "what sorcery is this" video (Ralf Runau vs Schmidt). in my opinion this is the magnum opus of all chess history. it may not be the most influential championship game, but for me, it's absolute poetry in motion. you've really improved your presentation and research technique over the years and i think this game deserves a comprehensive re-examination. P.S thank you for all the videos agad, my dad and i watch them all the time. you skilfully articulate the beauty of chess, and constantly remind me why i love the game.

Morphy would have CRUSHED Staunton anyway… not a great loss really, the “real” adversary was Adolf Anderssen

@superduper7315 3 года назад

very true, Anderssen was the only player at that time who could keep up with morphy

Morphy/Barnes vs Staunton/Owen. They won both but only one of them is saved. I've watched that game,but to tell you the truth, I thought it was a horrible game,if not downright funny.

I always imagine Qb8 is played at the same time as the last high note is sung during the opera. It’s poetic but I’m romantic.

@voiceofreason9238 Год назад

As a fan of chess, history and Morphy in particular, thank you for filling in that historical gap in my knowledge. I was wondering what happened to Staunton and why they never played. This just increases my already high respect for the young man from America, and lowers my respect for the coward Staunton who was afraid of losing a simple game of chess. I might never have found all those details on my own if not for you Mr. Agadmator. You have my highest respect.

So glad to see this, even though I've watched your earlier video on the Opera House game many times. The Morphy Saga has been my favorite of your content, with the Capablanca Saga being a close second. It has been a long two months waiting for this to resume. I'm wondering what you can do next that will be as compelling??? :)
