Paul Morphy's 5 Most Brilliant Chess Moves 

This is my fevorate play series.. Keep serving such a valuable things... Love you chess.com

As a player who has defeated Masters and was offered a Harvard "B" team spot, I have reached that skill and performed all of the tactics displayed in this video. Since you wish to okay like that and I am here, I will share two basic ideas to help you skyrocket in skill within 100 Blitz games. Firstly, try to play a whole game from at least the mid-game with only Double Attacks where one flows into the next. Secondly, gain and stack initiative but don't use it for a long as possible only using it when the Chess board tells you not when you can't keep track on plans. Good luck! My highest Harvard Chess Club ranking during a single tournament was a 2200 one where I went undefeated versus registered Experts beat a 2375IM. It was a 21 person tournament. Those two ideas is all you need until IM skill.

First example...please explain why the queen simply cant take the rook?

These moves are like the best moves I have ever seen

Great!but I hope they have the same era with magnus

How are you top comment?

@@LeventK damned If I know

@@Amirreza_Karimi not damned anymore 👍🏻

Bruh

@@LeventK haha, no shit?!?

What if he wanted to enter a competition?

​@@davidcopson5800he played all strong players at his time and destroyed them like ragdolls so yeah . Also he had played 1st American chess congress where he crushed everyone

So how much did you save in your life?

@@jurjenvanderhoek316 don't be an ass

Mikhail Tal would win that match! He was crazier genius !

@@dusanninic9572 Nope, Morphy. Tal was an idiot.

@@jansnauwaert1785 Can you prove that ???

@@davidschneide5422 yea that would be great

me too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Morphy did study.

@@uncookedbert3216 by our standards no he didn't, there was very little theory back then compared to what a child would learn now in children chess club

@@paulmorphy6187 Watching Morphy get all of his pieces into a game/attack is truly artistic. So far ahead of his time that it's kind of shocking.

Indeed...and imagine if he would have had stronger competition, a coach , played more often than 3 or 4 games on a Sunday!...people who deny his brilliancy by comparing him with the current computer kids are just not getting it.

@@uncookedbert3216 not really....played on Sundays and his first book was touched when he was 19.

michael baker Me to

Oh wow. Geniuses Debating. Not to mention they finished it in a civilized way. What a rarity

Tal should be 10 atleast, he was a father of brilliancies

Hi guys, the video is all about Paul Morphy's 5 greatest chess moves. Talk about that. Please don't make irrelevant comments.

@@hamidurrahman8736 dude, they are making suggestions. Please, read the context. Thanks for being civil about it though, most people would have been hostile

You mean the fourth game? The third game was played against Louis Paulsen in the finals of the American Chess Congress...I think Morphy was around 20. I know the fourth game was played when Morphy was 12. I don't think he was blindfolded though, and seeing how it was played on October 28th while Morphy's birthday was in July, I doubt it was played at his birthday party.

ya butt Hans Niemann would have crushed him

@@Godlessgaming79 Ah yes Hans Niemals. Wonder if the cheating scandal is in his favour, or Magnus's

@Thomas dxb no shit magnus would crush morphy..

@Thomas dxb Something doesn't add up. It's very irrelevant to say that Magnus is stronger than Morphy with the resource difference (like your comment said why Magnus is stronger). That's my point with my first reply. English is not my first language.

@Thomas dxb give morphy the access magnus has to PC learning, and teams of 2800+ super GMs and Morphy would crush Magnus. Evaluating from a pure talent level, Morphy is the greatest player to ever touch the game.

@@donkbonktj5773 difference era bro, magnus play in computer era that easy to improve his skill by learn from computer but if magnus play in morphy's era morphy would crush magnus but if they played in this era magnus would win easily

no way Hans Niemann would have crushed him

I was thinking the same thing. a few of the positions here looks like the response suggested or played weren't the best moves

he is a ginger, you understand that he is full of shit sometimes

Erik, after Qxb4 and Qxb4, white king is really naked, might be winning

@@smtparwatisahu2596 and how is black going to bring in the bishop to win the game? It looks like a perpetual at most because of the vulnerable king.

@@erikthehalfabee6234 it's also about the pawns...2 white to 7 black is a huge advantage

And Bobby Fischers Best Moves/Games as well.

Roppis is Qe6 also mate on the last move?

@@lerrygindgren2076 yes

He distracted his opponents with his hair. And maybe the odd fart.

Hey hipsters kill for a style like that!!

Flatulence as a strategy? It's diabolical

If disagree. I like how it looks like none of the pieces are connected/supported. It's almost like , "wait...how is this checkmate?"

It’s -6 for black so yes the game is basically over

Exactly, whit was better in that position

White had an extra bishop and two rooks for a queen

he can but big disadvantage like -6

Plus 3 pass pawns

No

Whatever you else play you lose so *NO*

@@LeventK Right, that's why next best move is resign. Some engines, especially the more primitive ones, play desperado moves in similar circumstances.

The Original Mozart Of Chess.

@@donkbonktj5773 Then who is its Beethoven?

@@probium2832 what

Because they dont get the chance to show such tactics as often since their opponents notice them too

Did you actually have trouble understanding that?
