This is the story of the birth of modern chess - when the possibilities of chess as an art, a science and a sport all converged.
The point of convergence was a young boy from Louisiana named Paul Morphy. At a time when America was seen as a backwoods nation with little cultural history and even less intellectual impetus, at a time when chess was considered the exclusive property of a few European countries, at a time when the game was played successfully by a handful of men wizened by years, Paul Morphy, in the brief span of 19 months and with seemingly little effort, defeated conclusively every player he met.
While today few non chess players even know his name, he was one of the most famous celebrities of his time and within the hallowed halls of the chess playing community he is considered by some as the greatest chess player of all time.
But this diminutive, unassuming boy rose to fame almost out of nowhere and once he secured his place in history, he retired back into that hazy unknown, shunning the public eye, never again to play serious chess. Not only was he one of great practitioners of the game, but also one of it's greatest enigmas. He's been given the sobriquet, The Pride and Sorrow of Chess.

Paul Morphy vs Jabez Carr
Blindfold simul, 8b (1858) (blindfold), Birmingham ENG, Aug-27
Carr Defense: General (B00)
1. e4 Notes by J. Lowenthal 1... h6 2. d4 a5 3. Bd3 b6 4. Ne2 e6 5. O-O Ba6 This series of unusual moves was no doubt adopted with the view of embarrasing the blindfold player, in place of which it served to allow him to bring out his pieces and secure victory in a shorter space of time. 6. c4 Nf6 7. e5 Nh7 8. f4 Be7 9. Ng3 d5 10. Qg4 O-O 11. Nh5 g5 12. fg5 hg5 Black has indeed placed himself in a deplorable condition in vainly attempting to puzzle his antagonist. 13.

Rh3 Kg5 22. Rh5 Kf4 23. Kf2 Terminating the game in masterly style, and giving it an interest, from the nature of the opening, which we had not looked.

It depends on the mate. If there's a clear pattern and there aren't several forcing variations, it's sort of just an extension of finding shorter mates of the same pattern. In this game, it's not so bad despite all of the pieces left because Black's has very little practical mobility. That is to say that there isn't really anything in the way of counterplay to look for in the sequence. Anything to be done is either forced or played to draw out the sequence. Morphy's idea is much more simple and requires less certain calculation, and I honestly might go for something similar because the idea of 'always looking for a better move' doesn't necessarily apply when you're winning by force and simplifying the position.

Isn't it funny how Morphy was born in a time where he probably considered himself a failure in life, and in the end to him Chess was just a silly game he lost interest in. Yet 150 years in the future his games provide entertainment to hundreds of thousands of people. That he is considered to be one of the all time greats. That as far in the future as we go, he won't ever be forgotten. It's a shame he'll never know just how much influence he had, and continues to have on this world.

me: watching Agadmator late at night, questioning my sanity with the music
I like how the epic music became a soundtrack for the epic mate
Lol I love Purple hat. Was very confused for a minute. Great game and video. Thank you for sharing this with us
Me : offers king sacrifice in every game Morphy : now that's confusing
Your Morphy series is CLASSIC !!
Ahhh the rook lift 💪It is nice to play such a position when you are attacking, but I can't help remember what it feels like to be defending 😂
Suyeah!! Can't get enough of you videos! Make more please...lol
This is definitely going to feature in the next Agadmator's Best Moments
Fun fact. The opening was named after the player in this game. The “Carr Defense”
I don't know why the youtube algorithm brought this channel to me. I have not played chess since I was 10 years old but I cannot stop watching your videos. Highly informative and entertaining for someone who has no chance at pausing and finding the winning move.
I really liked the idea of putting a bgm while showing a mating sequence. Nice Sir.

Every Agadmator video I’ve watched in the last few months: Opening move, Agad reaches down to his right, “Sorry about dat” Continues
Blindfold chess (also known as sans voir) is a form of chess play wherein the players do not see the positions of the pieces and do not touch them. This forces players to maintain a mental model of the positions of the pieces. Moves are communicated via a recognized chess notation. Blindfold chess was considered miraculous for centuries, but now there is greater recognition of people who can keep track of more than one simultaneous blindfolded game.In simultaneous blindfold play, an intermediary usually relays the moves between the players
In some of Agadmator's excellent videos we see a dog in the background, and it reminds me of an old joke: A man is sitting in a café playing chess with his dog. Another man enters and begin to watch the game. "Excuse me sir, but that is really a remarkable dog you have!" he says after having watched some time. "Oh," says the owner: "Why do think so?" "But, it can play chess!!" replies the man. "Well I don't know," says the owner: "I win four games out of five."

Glad that Morphy kept his cool and played well. Kasparov would have probably gotten so enraged that he might have lost. For example, in his Game with Ivanchuk, Ivanchuk irritated him by moving the dark square bishop to its starting position.
8:36 White's King starts walking up the board : Black's king : ARE YOU APPROACHING ME?! White : I can't checkmate you without getting closer. Black : Ho! Then come as close as you like. Also, I resign gg
