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.

Morphy to his opponents: YOU ARE GRANTED THE RIGHT TO RESIGN.
Capablanca....'I'll just trade here, this is a won endgame".
Paul morphy the type of dude to lick his finger before flipping the page on his newspaper
The water sip is back!!! Staying hydrated is a winning idea.
“THREATENING” to run away with the king 😂😂
For a while Agadmator just wanted to enjoy the show, but today, congratulations, he was an excellent sipper of water
I admire the hell out of Morphy's play.
Just seeing how badly outplayed Lichtenhein is in this game is quite stunning. The players in this tournament were mostly all strong masters of the era and Morphy was far beyond them. Even Anderssen, whom I consider the de facto World Champion of his time (not Staunton), looked far below the standard of Morphy. That's saying a lot because Anderssen was one of the great players in his own right.
Agad You make chess fun to watch just like a movie. I used to love chess but life took it away from me and I started playing chess again because of YOU. Thank you.
Agadmator has shown such adoration for the Evans Gambit that it should be renamed after him as the Radic Gambit
I started playing chess because of my friend and he used to just crush me with his queen so early in the game and i couldnt even defend against that. I was terrible, but then i got hooked to your channel and been watching you for like 3 months now pretty much every day. How the tables have turned, he doesnt wanna play against me anymore because i crush him :D I'm climbing to 1800 elo on lichess all thanks to you. You made this game fun for me. Your videos are so entertaining and clean. Clearly a lot of effort put into them and your analysis, showing different variations of moves with detail is just excellent and very informative. Thank you so much!
I confirmed there is no troll for evan's gambit in this game.
I wish we could get a time machine, bring Morphy to our time and let him study modern Chess theory and then face off against Magnus.
I could just see Agad's eyes sparkle when he said " b4, Morphy goes for the Evans Gambit" (:

that last Nf3 move defined as "calm move" is such a beautiful last move. Poetic ending.
Paul Morphy is a real Monster of the chess. What a game!

I am enjoying the Paul Morphy saga. He was a genius in Chess. Thanks for showing this game with the Evan’s gambit excepted,
Morphy is just a previous incarnation of Fischer, just messing with people.
