After having cemented his status, by virtue of his triumph 1st American Chess Congress (1857), as one of the greatest masters in the world, Morphy traveled to Europe to play Howard Staunton and other chess greats. Morphy made numerous attempts at setting up a match with Staunton, but none ever came to fruition. Staunton was later criticised for avoiding a match with Morphy. Seeking new opponents, Morphy crossed the English Channel to France.

In Paris, Morphy suffered from a bout of intestinal influenza. In accordance with the medical wisdom of the time, he was treated with leeches, resulting in his losing a significant amount of blood. Although too weak to stand up unaided, Morphy insisted on going ahead with a match against the visiting German master Adolf Anderssen, considered by many to be Europe's leading player. Despite his illness Morphy triumphed easily, winning seven while losing two, with two draws. When asked about his defeat, Anderssen claimed to be out of practice, but also admitted that Morphy was in any event the stronger player and that he was fairly beaten. Anderssen also attested that in his opinion, Morphy was the strongest player ever to play the game, even stronger than the famous French champion Louis Charles Mahe De La Bourdonnais.

Full credit to Anderssen too, many times throughout his chess career he showed that he was a gentleman and a fair player.

These moves are so complex and amazing! Everything is hanging on such a thin thread. But the attack is so strong!

Paul Morphy was one of the greatest players ever to play the game of chess, no doubt.

I love your channel. I am a very bad chess player because I think I am cleverer than I actually am. I watch your videos and it teaches me humility. What I love most is your love of the game.

I don't get why anyone would dislike any of Antonio's videos. His and MatoJelic's are my favorite chess channels.
