This game is one of many reasons why Paul Morphy is my favorite player of all time, it’s very tactical and intelligent but also has the dashing heroic play of the romantic era of chess. Morphy was a modern chess genius without any modern theory. It is daunting to imagine what he could have done in this era with all the information he would have at his fingertips

Opera's used to be a social event back in the day. In contrast with today's theatre, where everyone is quiet, they used to talk and drink and laugh, and the music was often barely audible, more like playing in the background, so I can imagine playing a chess game at the opera was very normal

“Qxb7 is a butcher’s move, but Morphy wasn’t a butcher, he was an artist”

[WaddyZZ]

Paul Morphy just wanted to be in a GothamChess YouTube video

Imagine playing a game and I mean any game, not just chess. Then 163 years later have fans creating more fans by showcasing that game. Truly immortal.

8:40 In shogi(which is basically crazyhouse chess but the pieces move differently), there is a legit opening where you just cocoon your king. The whole point of it is to counter attack when your opponent overextends.

McDonnell versus De La Bourdonnais, Match 4 (16), London 1834- This is apparently Kasparov's favorite game and beautiful checkmate

[StygianStyle]

You have to realize that, during Morphy's time, there were no music devices for listening to music while playing a game or other activities, so it kind of makes sense to play chess at a live music venue, and opera was the predominant type of music during this era.
