Legend has it that Morphy could beat me with just a pawn.

Morphy's game was 50 years ahead of the rest of the, during his time.

[Prorampage]

I bet Morphy had the biggest smirk on his face as he said checkmate

[Wesssss]

What a finish with the knight

Morphys bishops reminded me of my fav the Danish Gambit

[ImaginaryHuman]

oh man... moving the bishop back to it's home square was awful. still, amazing combination by morphy

[dldardawd]

what a game....my fav player is *morphy*

[DrAbuImam]

Wow. Beautiful game. It indeed made me smile

[harshpatwardhan]

Bishop retreat was bad move.
But still, unbelievable victory.
Thanks Agadmator.

If this was MMA, this would have been a first round KO.

[Shockprowl]

That's extraoridinary! What a genius Morhpy was!

Charles le Carpentier was actually Paul Morphy's uncle and a strong player (for an amateur) and in this game Paul was just 12 years old.

A short and very sweet game. Sweet like a good chocolate . Small but very very good. Thank you

[jxaby]

Le Carpentier lasted longer than I would have.

[NitzTheDude]

And in the last position agad says "Bye for now" :D Novelty?

[syyhkyrotta]

Analyze more Morphy games! Great work! :=)

According to Nakamura, Morphy was approximately 400 points ahead of the very strongest players of his time. Conservative estimates put him in the 2400 to 2500 range. An astonishing attainment, particularly when you consider that the great bulk of his chess was played in casual settings against weak amateurs. So the traditional idea of a player beginning with nothing, and only slowly working their way up by study and regular exposure to stronger players doesn't apply to a true genius like Morphy. It is as though his brain was already pre-wired for excellence, in much the same way that all precocious talent apparently is ( Mozart being a popular example ). There is simply no other way to explain this phenomenon using the conventional learning model.

[ericsbuds]

he was 12 years old when this game took place... jeez
