Greatest player PERIOD
ngl more replies i expected
stupid opinion
b4 best move
But my favourite is misha
💯
Not taking the Gambit was ungentlemanly back then? Wow that’s a surprise no wonder many falls to the trap😂
Paul Morphy showed how chess is supposed to be played. The truth of chess shines through in his games. Much later Fischer took up the gauntlet and continued the quest. Both were way above any competition!
Evans was a Welsh ship captain from Pembroke shire who also developed the system of ship identification in the dark with a lighting system..
I'm from Wales, you beat me to it :)
@@mizofan we do not promote our own. Ginger GM told me about this and GGM has Welsh heritage and good fun.
Wonderful games by the greatest player of all time! I never tire of watching Morphy games.
Jefferson " The President '
Paul Morphy games are a delight ! Thank you.
Paul morphy really a great chess player. My favourite of old players.
I think Morphy was a better player than Fischer because he didn't have as many giant's shoulders to stand upon. It's a tragedy that severe mental illness contributed to the early end of his life. Imagine how much better he could have become at the game.
That last game was insane
Against the president too
Wow wicked games n great analysis of them. I subbed 😊
Beautiful. I've always liked the Evans, and the open games that it inevitably leads to. Thank you sir for uploading these gems.
You are so underrated, I love the videos!
Thanks for this great historic chess journey!
your review and commentary is just over the top, great. Wonderful job. Thank you
@@SammyChess1
Thanks for the entertaining video. One of my favorite Evans Gambit games is the Evergreen Game by Adolf Anderson.
Game 2 shown Morphy-John William Schulten, New York 1857 was presented as a blind game. This is also an error in any book and was never presented as a blind game.
To be precise, it was the 10th game of their match which finished 23-1 in favor of Morphy
I enjoyed that thank you.
Wow, the pace is fast. I paused after the first game to catch my breath ! I need to digest those moves first. Not so quick !
Awesome.
Loved the video. Good luck growing your channel. The only improvement I'd hope for is that once in a while you tell us where the losing side messed up and what they should have played.
@SammyChess Awesome. Btw, what is your level? Do you have a USCF rating? I'm 1812 USCF but I'm inactive and rusty so my level is a bit worse.
Great thanks for nice technic
These Morphy games are very instructive at intermediate level (helpful for me).
Mprphy was a artist
Very cool!
👌👍great job
My new favourite player, Paul Morphy, incredible thinking and tactics.
I believe the game against Lewis was blindfold simul. Awesome by Morphy. And in my opinion the only goat in all of chess history. Of course no one has to agree with me as chess chess has evolved so much. He is my all time favourite now since I came to know about him and started watching his game about three years back. A great video.
He would still be goat and even better in these days I can't imagine his foresight his ability to manipulate you to move your peices to straight up fuck you
@@mikedilworth2032Today Memory plays such a huge role that it’s hard to know if his was good enough to edge out the other pros. Theory aside morphy is the best ever. Imo
@@emperorsascharoni9577 agreed
Give Morphy a computer, desk, chair and a year.
I never hit the thumbs up button ever. But this time this was nice. Thank you for good entertainment!
As The great man famously said, “The chess speaks for itself.”
Thanks!
Thanks I haven't heard of the Evans Gambit. I need to study more but I love it. I love Pauls style of play. Great stuff.
Morphy woke up and chose violence, holy shit!
Excellent
Nice play 😊😊😊
The one who finds a smothered mate is ahead, is really immortal
Very good from Rome Thank you!
The 4th match shown Morphy-Ford is a colossal error perpetrated in all Morphy books. a game between and Ernest Morphy and Dr. A. P. Ford on Oct 5, 1840. The reason for this is that Philip Sergeant, in his book "Morphy's Games of Chess", erroneously presented it as a Blind Game by Paul Morphy.] This game is found in the New Orleans Sundey Star dated Oct 29, 1865 until the 22nd move dated Oct 5, 1810
1810?
@@BREAKocean sorry i mistake correct date is 1840 not 1810
Evans gambit makes for exciting chess. Evans was a Welsh sea captain and inventor
Excellent lessons from the best chess player, according to a multitude of great players, Mr. Morphy. Unfortunately he abandoned the science game too early. A true genius of the best game invented by humans.👍👏
Morphy was a killer. it's a shame he didn't keep playing , he really didn't do anything spectacular after he quit.
Nice analysis, One small correction: I noticed the photo of Thomas Jefferson in the final game. Morphy's opponent wasn't surnamed Jefferson. His name was Thomas Jefferson Bryan and he was from Philadelphia, though the game was played in NY. This game was also played at Knight-odds (i.e. with White's QN removed in the initial setup). This is relevant because Bryan was a well known chess figure in both New York and Paris. He had acted in helping set up the preliminaries for the famous Staunton-St. Amant match in 1843 as one of Stauton's seconds. The game you present here is the only surviving score of the 80+ games he and Morphy contested. They had played 10 games in which Morphy gave the odds of a pawn and three moves, then more than 70 games at Knight-odds. Morphy and Bryan seemed to have been friends. He was in Paris when Morphy gave his 8 bd blind simul at la Regence.
After Morphy lost the first game in his match with Anderssen, offering the Evan's Gambit, he remarked to Fred Edge that the game "proved to him that the Evans is indubitably a lost game for the first player, if the defense be carefully played; inasmuch as the former can never recover the gambit pawn, and the position supposed to be acquired at the outset, cannot be maintained."
Yet, out of about the 80+ recorded Evan's Gambits that he played, Morphy only lost 2 playing even and a just a few at Rook and Knight odds.
@@SammyChess1 His name wasn't "Thomas Jefferson." it was "Thomas Jefferson Bryan" and he was universally called "T.J. Bryan." I think the only difference in the analysis would be to point out that there was a great discrepancy in the contestants' skill level and that Morphy was able to develop so quickly as to make the absence of the Knight moot.
wow, thank you
That last game really got me. When you realise he can sack his queen...
Game 5 shown Morphy-Thomas Jefferson Bryan shows another error. This is an advantage game Morphy gives the b1 knight an advantage. No book mentions that it is part of a simultaneous exhibition
The Dr. Disrespect profile photo was a nice touch 😂
Hehe
I love Morphy. I hate Morphy. But I love Morphy. Then I hate him. A real MASTER of chess. I adore his mastery.
Paul Morphy is a beauty of chess
Let's see paul allens evens gambits game
I wonder if, since it was so long ago, Morphy played this type of smothered mate before ever having seen it elsewhere
On top
evans gambit is one of the favorite gambit of Wesley So
amen bro paul morphy is insane
If it wasn't for the ads interrupting, this would have been a good video.
lol the Frederic Lewis headshot
6:10 finally proof that Dr Disrespect is a time traveller.
I laughed at the two times Pic for Frederic Lewis
Make a video on emory tate and paul keres and capablanca
Before today, I thought it was named for Larry Evans
Please do the same with the king's indian defense but with hikaru instead. As a 1800 I need to stidy some theory
@@SammyChess1 yea he is
Genius is an over used word. There has be Einstein for physics, Mozart for music, Col. Sanders for KFC and Paul Morphy for chess. Level playing field, Morphy given access to modern opening theory and chess databases. He would be first human over 3000 rated! Morphy with white...e4...he has won!
Dayum he did his dad grimey🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣✊🏿
6:17 Dr. Disrespect!
I like your games and analysis but need to also put positional and endgame wins like capablanca petrosian Karpov showing endgame wins
La 4^ partita mostrata Morphy-Ford e' un errore colossale perpetrato in tutti i libri su Morphy.Questa partita e' erronemente attribuita a Morphy infatti Frank Leslie nel suo illustrated Newspaper " numero del 30 agosto 1856 scrisse: la prima partita elencata, è un partita tra e Ernest Morphy e il Dr. A. P. Ford il 5 Ott 1840 . La ragione di ciò è che Philip Sergeant, nel suo libro "Morphy's Games of Chess", lo ha erroneamente presentato come un Partita alla Cieca di Paul Morphy.]Questa partita si trova in New Orleans Sundey Star del 29 Ott 1865 fino alla 22^ mossa datata 5 Ott 1810
Morphy un artiste.
La 2^ partita mostrata Morphy-John William Schulten, New York 1857 e' stato presentata come una partita alla cieca.Anche questo e' un errore in nessun libro e mai stata presentata come partita alla cieca.
Per essere precisi e la decima partita della loro sfida finata 23 a 1 in favore di Morphy
❤
What if knight takes b4?
I'm not mistaken subscribing to your channel Sir Sam. You featured a famous lines to every openings. First is the King's Gambit and now is the Evan's Gambit.
May I request for a famous lines on Rousseau Gambit in your next video?
Thanks in advance.
God bless you and your channel..
What of knight take a pon
So, why is the forced again?
WOW
I thought it was Larry Evans gambit
Declining a gambit was ungentlemanly so you put dr disrespect in his place was pretty funny XD
Is that Dr. Disrespect 😂😂😂
Your pieces move too fast, I can't stop them by arrow :D
Great selection of games.
Just pause as needed to slow moves.Cheers
Game between jeffersin and morphy!
Paul Charles Morphy (June 22, 1837 - July 10, 1884)
Thomas Jefferson (April 13, 1743 - July 4, 1826)
How is that possible!???
@@SammyChess1 thanks for your reply and your good page👍
Frederic Lewisrespect
6:14 dr disrespect 😅
greatest gambit,
made similar topic about chess too on my channel, any feedback is greatly appreciate,
all the best, thank you
No one accepted the gambit with Knight ? If White plays Nxe5 y hen Qf6 wins
6:22 why drdisrespect as Frederic Lewis’ avatar? Was he a cheater?
12 mn 23 s : Cxc4 au lieu de g7g6. Les Noirs gagnent 1 pièce. C'est 1 faute d'inattention
Ok. En ne mangeant pas le Fou blanc c4, les Noirs résistent plus longtemps.
I always wondered how Morphy would do against Capablanca and Fischer.
Who the hell is Evans??
A chess player
@@R1ester Why not call it Morphy 's Gambit!
he was a ship's captain
William Davies Evans
@@luutzennijdam7213 The opening got the name the Evans Gambit before Morphy ever played it.
You look like the chess nerd but older
my dad was crap at chess lol i could beat him when i was 7....hes 82 now, and still crap :)
morphy 3000 elo on classical
I have yet to see a chess YTer show a famous game,--with out interjecting other possibilities, (their own).
Can't anybody just show the game moves only, (with the best explanation/reason known, why that move was made.), instead of adding their own stone broke ego?
Imagine beating Donald Trump In Chess
You go way too fast. Not really worth watching.
Just fucking WOW 😲 yo
Morphy is definitely goat
How does he come up with this shit
@@SammyChess1 he's like the Eminem of chess for real his foresight is unlike anyone I've ever seen
