The truth and nothing but the truth....and imagine he considered chess just as entertainment, he did not study chess, and played it only on Sundays when young and during his College years...not at all. No strong competition or tournaments..the poor guy was just never really tested and must have been bored.......Extrapollated to this reality...I thiink he would still crush anyone if allowed put some more serious effort in the game and study of theory. Simply the best of all times.

@@knownasezio4421 the last sentence you wrote earlier could hardly be further from the truth, Morphy was exactly the opposite of "devoting his whole life to chess", on the contrary, he considered it to be just some dubious past time occupation, not a profession at all, and although he could have earned a fortune as chess pro, he refused playing for money and even gave away any prize moneys he had received. He never studied chess and only played the occasional friendly game with family and friends on weekends. During his law studies at University he hardly played at all. The only times when he did play more regularly was at the first American chess congress and during his first tour to Europe while trying to arrange the Staunton match. On his return to the US he did some more public exhibitions but soon after gave up public chess altogether, only to play some rare friendly games at home with his old friend Maurian who was no match for him. He did not even want to talk about chess anymore, even when Steinitz asked to pay him a visit in New Orleans! So actually the opposite of what you say is true, of all the chess masters in history he must be the one who did not devote his life to chess at all. Which makes his playing strength and accomplishments all the more amazing.

6:44 finally listened to Lowenthal's advice

Wow this was just straight beautiful, not only is Morphy plaing this blindfolded while simultaneously playing 8 total players, he also has seconds at each board to react to his opponents move and play himself, whereas his opponents probably get a good minute. AND, this was one of the greatest games I've ever seen! Honestly Morphy is so inspiring and this really made my day!

Agad: "Salmon plays Bishop to B4 his first mistake." Lowenthal: "Salmon plays the best move."

Dude I love Paul Morphy. The dude is so cool and it’s really cool to get a picture of what the world was like back then

It's a wild girlfriend sighting.

I found an interesting player: Valery Salov. Proponents of the conspiracy say he was removed because he had something to say against Kasparov. Valeri won, from head to toe, the Tilburg tournament and the Najdorf Memorial. In the 2nd tournament, a closed tournament in round-trip system, he defeated Karpov with both colors! Maybe it's worth remembering.

How does somebody play 8 games simultaneously blindfolded? How do you remember all the positions? It's insane. I can't wrap my head around it.

It is incredible. I am a real patzer player, but in my youth I tried a few games blindfold against an un-blindfolded friend (an even worse patzer than me) and the thing I found is that every game is a story, and you know where you are up to in the story. Imagine you have started 8 movies on Netflix and and paused all of them part way through - you could probably restart any one of them and know where you are. For patzers like me, the problem isn't so much remembering the position, as seeing all the potential moves in any position, a problem for us whether blindfold or not, though much worse blindfold because it is so much easier to miss things. How Morphy can play brilliancies like this blindfold is completely beyond me, even the mating sequences were to much for me, with Agadmator giving me the clues and all the time in the world to look at the board - fantastic. Another way of putting it is, Morphy visualises probably 2000-5000 future positions in every game he plays, so remembering the actual position in 8 of them is no big deal, for him.

@thisnicklldo

@@philippfrogel9355 Well, it's an interesting question. If on a turn he considers 3 possible moves, and if he looks 4-ply ahead, then that's 81 'positions' per move, if 20 moves get this sort of consideration, then that's 1600 'positions'. Now actually I think for someone of Grandmaster standard 4-ply is a considerable understatement, even though the number of moves considered must surely decrease with each ply. I agree it's not as simple as 1600 individual visualisations of all 64 squares with each piece in its place, but if you afterwards asked him to lay out the chess board position for any one of those 1600 possibilities, he could do it in an instant, I believe. To me it seems that the intuition you speak of is mostly used to select the 3 possible moves out of the 100+ legal moves in any position - I think he still has to consider many, many concrete variations. But it's a very hard process to accurately describe. As I'm sure we all know, these top guys calculate incredibly quickly, but yes, 'calculation' is something a bit different to picturing the entire chess board with all the pieces.

You forget he said he was ready for twenty and also asked loewenthal falkbeer and other top level players to blindfold simul. But they all refused and most of them ran away,shit scared of Morphy. You can imagine the level of his genius,his mastery over the sixty four squares. He saw chess in a far more innocent way than the other seasoned and wizened masters. He played like a child with no common sense.

nothing like a morphy game with a cup of tea in the morning

no one can touch him so ahead of his time and still the most talented player of chess ever head in my humble opinion.

Without agad, I'll never know about the hilarious story or drama behind every classic chess game that ever exist! Thx a lot hahaha mr. Lowenthal stuff really get me laughing so hard :'D

What a talent, super genius, best ever to play the game

The more and more I watch Morphy's games, the more and more I realize just how much of a cold-blooded assassin he really was; except he had tremendous style. So, I guess I'm kind of conflicted then and don't really know how I should describe him. Simply magnificent?

Morphy is truly a genius, everyone remember this is BEFORE ENGINES, this was all the human mind now chess is a game of who can remember the computer line better

Holy crap this is actually the best game I've ever seen, especially given the circumstances.

These new thumbnails hit hard. Love it!

It's always a special treat seeing the queen flash drive. I hope to see more of it in the future.

wow...a amazing active game with a good opponent[sometimes a criticism of some of morphys opponents] ..made all the more amazing that it was so active and blindfolded...thanks for showing this :)

The most interesting/wild lines after Morphy plays d6 are actually if Black replies NxP(5) threatening NxQch and other things. I wish Agad had illustrated those.

One of the mostremarkable games I have ever seen, played blindfold. When I was at school I played three games blindfold simultaneously once (luckily one game only lasted about 10 moves), so I do understand how it can be done and how you can picture or work out where the pieces are. But the king walk here and some of the deep tactics, just mind-blowing to "see" all that while playing several other games! Astonishing!

Paul Morphy is a genius wow what a game

I love how the best openings according to the computers are played even back then

Really, REALLY impressive one Murphy. Would be awesome to see more games of strong players trying to hold their own against him, but thinking those awesome moves in a simultaneous, blindfold match is just awesome.

I am watching this video blindfolded for the most authentic experience.

Awesome game. Great commentary and as someone put down below, its amazing to see how good the players were without chess engines, esp Salmon as he was a casual player. On a side note, kids that think their hairstyles are rebellious or making statements clearly never saw pictures from the 19th century ;)

and yes I know I am spamming the chat, but who can be collective and calm when you know he played blindfold against 7 players and you see this game, it is beyond my comprehension that that level of chess understanding was existed in one human 200 years ago, GOAT!

i cannot comprehend how it is possible to play so well while playing 8 blind folded games at the same time. I mean he's crushing people who are playing very well, is that even human

I agree that doctor Salmons portrait is very high quality.
