Is Paul Morphy the true greatest king's gambit player. In a previous video, I claimed Adolf Anderssen was the greatest King's Gambit player. After doing some digging, it's become clear that Morphy was even better. His strategic acumen and tactical prowess were no match for his competitors!

Game 3: Paul Morphy vs Bornemann, Paris 1858 .(This game is part of one of 8 simultaneous blind games ).During the second break of the match against Harrwitz, Morphy had his friend Edge organize a feat never seen up to then in Paris and that is a blind simultaneous against 8 strong players of the Café de la Régence. The blind challenge began at 12.30 and ended at 22.30 on Monday 27 September 1858. During the 10 long hours of the simultaneous blind match Morphy played expertly winning 6 games, drawing 2 and not losing any. At the end of the performance it took Morphy about half an hour to leave the club: everyone wanted to congratulate him and shake his hand. The following morning of the blind simulcast Morphy dictated the games he had played to his friend Edge Milnes with many variations. He remembered perfectly the progress of all the matches.
Game 5 vs. Rousseau: "With the precision of a surgeon, Morphy plays the only winning move". Morphy makes it seem so effortless. He indeed deserves the accolade of being the strongest player of the 19th Century,
I think if he played this era he would 10 world champs out of Magnus.
@@eylonhenighe played before computer analysis so its unlikely he would be the best now without having grown up in this era
@@jfwlondon6201I’d argue the opposite. If he had access to stockfish analysis he would be more powerful then anyone could imagine.
Really excellent style of reviewing these great chess games. Wonderful verbal communications and easy to listen to voice, with a pleasant sense of humor, sprinkled into to the mix.
It is so amazing to watch King's Gambit games. Please do more with this gambit
I always wanted a video covering Paul morphys kings gambit games thanks
great job, over the top. Thank you for your great effort.
This video is a dream come true! My favorite opening as played by the amazing Paul Morphy!!
Thanks so much for that excellent treatment of the King’s gambit! 😊
good explanation, very educates and gives all sort of tactics. I really love this opening, its crushing
This is just so dynamic and beautiful
Awsome stuff thank u brother
Morphy is a great player. I also like the way how you explain the game. Thanks for the great video !!
Great analysis
Thank you so much!
Great video I enjoy alot. I'm writing down the move and I noticed that you few time tell square name wrong. Ultimatly I'm watching and also writing so I correctly noted those move. Waiting for your upcoming video. ❤
Excellent!
how come you have only 1k subs ?
great content
It's unbelievable just how far ahead of his time he was.
I don’t know the first thing about 3D checkers but I love hearing your fancy move descriptions.
I really like this comment lol
Maybe Morphy was born under a chess board !
Game 5: Paul Morphy vs Eugene Rousseau, New Orleans 1849.During 1848-1849,(Paul Morphy who was 11-12) out of over fifty matches
Rousseau won a maximum of five and 45 victories went to Morphy. Of all these matches only two recorded survive, both from 1949 both won by Morphy
GREAT! Sammy.
4:50 Qb3 is also mate but not as neat as b3#.
That’s what separates the Morphys from the Patzers.
Stop thinking as if you're Morphy.
He would always find a way to attack the defense you found.
his attack is risky tho. i could win
Paul Morphy was the strongest ever of his era and on the king gambit he was stronger than Anderssen. The match against Anderssen ended in favor of Morphy 7 to 2, with 2 draws. the day after the end of the official match, 29 Dec 1858 Morphy and Anderssen played a quick friendly match of 6 games, played in just three hours (defined as the King's Gambit Match) in fact Morphy and Anderssen agreed to play the whole match only King's Gambetti.Morphy won 5 - Anderssen won 1. Anderssen later remarked, "Morphy is too strong for any living player to hope to win more than one game here and there."
@@SammyChess1 Yes, the King's Gambit match between Morphy and Anderssen is very interesting and demonstrates the different style of play. Perhaps the real difference is that Morphy was in a romantic era the first true positional player in history. All the more Anderssen's clever traps had no effect against Morphy's play. Even though Morphy admired Anderssen's style of play.
Thanks , vey informative, we seem to think the GOATs are all from our time, but this guy was genius
Amazing not annoying and professional commentary without too much bs
My favorite chess player always. Later came Capablanca and Fischer.
13:44 here in game 4, Rae1 in response to Qxe4 doesnt work because the bishop is hanging on c4
📍NO WORD TO THANK YOU, SAMMY
📍GREAT LECTURE that READS the MINDS OF CHESS EMPERORS extensively in superb clarity.
📍You sound to be a Descendant of the GREAAATS in CHESS.
📍Keep on, You really EXPLAIN THE CRUX of Every move in Living Language.
Random question, how many blindfolded simultaneous games do.modern IMs and GMs play?
It amazes me how many moves his opponent could play to step around a trap and they always fall into the hole eventually. Its like morphy sets so many traps each game.
Game 1: Paul Morphy vs Theodor Lichtenhein, New York 1857 I give you some unknown details. This match was played at the Denis Hotel and Morphy played blind.
He said that...
What a time to be a lad back in the 1800s
awesome checkmate...royal check or pawn checkmate....very rare
When Morphy plays chess,the opponents can only play forced moves
Excellent expln gag
I love the pictures you use for his opponents. Paul Ross cracked me up
“Echoes through the halls of chess history!” Not only a chess savant but a poet as well! Shalom
That's the thing, for them, it wasn't so much about winning, it was all about winning spectacularly, in an artistic fashion. They would probably be disgusted if someone could tell them that the future of chess is preparing through computers to find the safest grinding process to a draw.
1:30 y was that surprising? A 7 yr old could of thought of that
paul morphy was a chess god
LOL
Whats your rating
What the hell are these games?? Wild!! Why dont we have that in the Carslen era hahahah. I know I know computers....but just imagine if this were what we were watching live. MAD ACTION!
I can watch this all day…. 😮😮😮😂😂😂
Doesn't Rae1 lost to Qxc4? The bishop was hanging at 13:40
LEGENDARy
Game 2: Paul Morphy vs NN, New Orleans 1856 there are some inaccuracies, in this game Morphy gives the rook advantage a1
At 15:16 isn’t Q h5 just mate
Wow! amazing chess by Morphy!
Can you write the word you said in 12:02 please? Black position what?
Deteriorating.
It’s funny. When I’m “feeling romantic” and I don’t care about winning; I play the Italian or the kings gambit even though I don’t know much theory on them. I just do what morphy would do.
And I crush people.
Morphy clowned that dude in the last game. I love how these masters hang and sac their queens with such ease. It must be so disheartening for the opponent to see that across the board, knowing only bad things are coming their way.
chess is a brutal game on the highest levels.
Anderssen is the final boss of romantic chess. Morphy is the secret superboss.
❤❤❤
Joseph smith?
Paul Ross looks suspiciously identical to Paul Murphy 🤔
Game 4: Paul Morphy vs Paul Ross, New Orleans 1858.This is one of 6 games played simultaneously blind on March 24, 1858 in New Orleans

Thanks!
Thank you very much for the donation! 🙂
I played kings gambit with 60 % success I want to be surgeon like Paul Murphy someday
The true GOAT
Paul Morphy was like LeBron James in his prime playing basketball with kids from high school
Helllo Sammy
your choice of words sounds like something I read in novels 😂... great analysis tho
Les gooooo
You need tuitor too like me. Lmao
While you do need to comment the games, I wouldn't be so sure to claim that an attack is somehow "wrong" or that the defender could easily defend with this or that move. Says who? An engine? Or even that he "didn't see it". He did. Problem is, he also could see things your engine can't, nor a modern boring player. So really, there is no point any of us trying to evaluate their play, we cannot be them, it's a different era, for better, or for worse in the case of chess. If anyone is learning something through their games, fine, comment and exchange ideas, if you gonna evaluate them, better stay silent. Although I understand, you have a youtube channel to run.
at 12:39 if black DOES capture the pawn AND white attacks with rook (as u suggested...) black can take a free bishop?..... essentially winning on material after queenchange... or am I retarded?
Qb4 has same outcome..

Your analysis is way off base from reality. Here’s stockfish analysis on some of the most egregious moves by both players. And by the way, you can’t call Morphy the greatest Kings gambit player based on this terrible game by him.
------------------
Stockfish 16.0 analysis
at depth=25,
and delta rating dR = R(i+1)-R(i)
----
where
i is move number
[- dR] means black ad
[+ dR] means white ad
(i. Ww) White move
(i. …Bb) Black move
---------------
1:25 : [+1] (8. …Bh4)
1:36 : [-2.6] (9. O-O)
1:46 : [+1] (9. …pxp)
…
2:13 : [-5.6] (11. Ne5)
2:39 : [+5.1] (11. …Nh6)
…
2:52 : [-2.6] (13. Qh5)
…
3:35 : [+12.3] (17. …Bd7)
3:47 : [-2.5] (18. RxB)
3:54 : [+2.4] (18. …Kc7)
4:32 : It’s mate in 4 that any high school chess player can easily find.
Your analysis is blinded by your apparent love of Morphy, but as the Stockfish analysis shows, almost the entire opening moves are a series of miscalculations by both players, of which to fail to tell your subscribers and viewers.
You seriously need to tie your analysis with the stockfish engine analysis, otherwise you will continue to give out bad analysis like in this case.
The best iPhone chess app is Smallfish which runs the latest Stockfish engine. It’s free. Get it. Analyze the games using it. Then make your videos. That way you can be sure of giving your viewers good analysis.
Thanks for sharing
