Me too!!! I thought i was the only one. I have even developed a sleep association with his voice. Because i love chess sometimes i watch his analysis during the day but immediately my body thinks it is bed time and i start feeling sleepy 💤
Ehh it's fine to feel bad for the guy. Chess is of sufficient complexity to make an intelligent man look foolish. Before chess engines, he was considered very knowledgable. It's just that engines have disproven many of his analyses. It's incredible when you realize that humans have analyzed chess for more than a millenium, and a couple computer programs have far surpassed our understanding of chess in just a few decades.
@@NLTops Yes we cant even calculate closely to a computer, the best a human can calculate is probably 20-30 moves and that’s extremely hard just for one line.
@@somebody700 Well I think (feel free to correct me) but the reason computers are limited by human analysis with things such as material value and candidate moves is simply because if they tried to calculate every single line all the way to mate they'd be just as pathetic as us mortals in many ways
@@somebody700 I'm sorry, but it's very clear from what you said that you don't understand how modern chess engines work. The engines aren't influenced by human analysis of chess. Sure, people made the AI and designed its architecture. But it got as good as it did by playing chess against itself millions of times and many generations. And if you've ever seen the Alpha/Stockfish games on this channel...you'd know they think more "out of the box" than any human ever could. Because they can literally see dozens of moves ahead.so they make these weird moves that throw hundreds of years of chess theory out of the window but still lead to an advantage later on. They are really worth watching. And of course Chess hasn't been "solved". Chess is essentially an infinitely branching tree of possibilities. After 4 moves each, there are already over 288 billion possible positions. Some branches lead to a white victory, others to a black victory, others to a tie. There is never going to be a single solution. The line with which you defeat the most difficult opponent is different from the line with which you defeat a total amateur. Since your opponent always controls 50% of the path the game takes, it's simply impossible. Chess is infinite. The reason for building chess AI isn't to solve Chess. The purpose is to distill the algorithm of learning so we can make true AI and help it solve humanity's problems that we can't figure out ourselves.
Im just in awe of Morphy. This weekend i plan to do a Morphy tour at his hometown of New Orleans. First going to eat at Brennens which is the old Morphy house where PM lived and died. It was sold by the Morphy family in 1891 to a private owner who turned it into the famous steakhouse. Then I'm going to visit his crypt at the St Louis Cemetery in Nola.
How great for you, mate, I totally envy you, wish I could come along! I could still kick myself for not doing exactly the same when I was in New Orleans 2 years ago!
This match honestly gives you a feelgood sensation. Seeing the crazy lines these geniuses unraveled, all the while maintaining sportsmanship and professionalism. It truly shows what competition is about.
During all those boring memorised games by present grand masters in the last couple of months, my heart was screaming for the resumption of the Morphy saga. Now you know why ❤️
The moment i convinced myself that today we wouldnt have a morphy video, youtube notified me : dont be sad, here is your daily dose of joy and then my favorite youtuber said : Hello everyone
What a fantastic series of videos this Morphy/Anderssen match has been. Seeing a new posting is always a positive bump to even the best of days. Thank you for sharing your talent and expertise.
I think I have heard for the first time Agadmator saying that he hopes he presented the game nicely. I'd like to say this as a regular viewer of the channel. Agadmator presented this game in the same style Morphy played the game.
@Fremen this guy retired from chess at 22. If kas and magnus retired at that age they would have been unknown. He literally searched the world for matches and only played GMs willing to play him and was willing to give odds. Sometimes he wouldn't play the best move only because it wasn't aesthetically pleasing.
Agad i just wanted to say thank you for this series. I have covid and I got it when you started with game 2. Quarantine has been bearable because of this series and its what I'm looking forward to each day. This series has also helped me count my days in Covid lol!
Fabulous! Now that's the Morphy I know! I really don't think he was fully recovered from his illness the first six or seven matches. Now he's playing like an engine once again. He dissected Black's weaknesses the way Stockfish dissects mine. I would never have see F2-E3, that ended the game.
Why did Antonio sound so sarcastic when he said, “Advancing the e pawn is a must. We have to play it”? Our good (poor) friend Lowenthal. The guy can’t catch a break… from his salty annotation.
Amazing. I can’t quite believe such a complicated game was created in so few moves with such an conventional start. Once I’ve replaced a few blown fuses in my brain, I’ll watch it again to try to understand and follow how it all exploded so fast. This, I imagine, is what Chess would be like on the mind altering drugs Aldous Huxley experimented with in the 1950’s; almost unworldly. Thanks Agad.
When I watch videos of today's games more often than not I predict the move that's played. When I watch the games of the old masters more often than not they play a move that surprises me.
What a beautiful game. Some of the lines had me laughing to myself thinking how crazy some of the lines in such a short game could be. Scintillating stuff.
I chose the right move. Not because I'm good, but because it's a move I would not have seen or thought of if I were playing the game. I just looked at every move I would do, and not do that. Then I was left with the knight.
Something in the timbre of Agadmator’s voice has become for me a sound of sanity and reason (of course as aligned also with such subject matter). But thanks for this dude. One of the best subscriptions I ever made.
0:12 -- "...it's the most notable game & the one that you'll want to show all of your friends in the bar & in the library...." Very droll, Mr A, very droll!
0:38 “when i saw this game it was so impressive, i … I thought he was going to continue with “i immediately told my friends at the bar and the library”
If you know the result of this match then you are super fan and you are with Agad from the very beginning, probably from the era of videos without pictures from the players and way before the start of Morphy saga.
Thank You Agadmator (AKA Tony). You are showing us, for those who dare to cross the Chess Threshold, exquisite examples of piece play from the Pride and Sorrow of Chess Paul Charles Morphy. Yyyyyyyyaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy 😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉.
At once I am both fascinated by the beauty of games like this and also hopeless that I will ever understand the game well enough to play such things myself.
Big thx for showing the end 14:32 it definitely improves our endgame skills. I´m for example, i am a excellent blunderer. I quited counting how many games i lost in a in a seemingly, easily winning position. Me: "Okay.. but now.. how do i finsh this?.. i would probably pla..." Agad: "..it´s checkmate in six on this this square!" Me: "whaaaat?!?"
Antonio, you did a WONDERFUL job of presenting it. I had seen this game before, but never appreciated those convoluted alternatives. Well played, Mr Morphy, and - as someone suggests below - we cannot help but wonder what it would be like if he were with us today. Carlsen is great, but...
I think it's crazy how Morphy plays engine moves so frequently, but you gotta kinda hand it to Anderssen, the dude's 40 years old when this match takes place and even though he got crushed he was more competitive against Morphy than I think just about anyone other than maybe Barnes. It'd be interesting to see how these games are rated by Stockfish.
The thing is, in all the draws, I guess Anderssen had the upper hand, and the first game with Anderssen opening, it was Anderssen's game, but he made a mistake at the end, as he was down so many matches, and resigned. I guess he was the Greatest Gentleman in Chess history
