Chess. - Morphy v Duke of Brunswick

Paul Morphy had to win this game quickly so that he had time to watch the rest of the opera. The Alies were aristocrats and made him sit with his back to the stage!!

@hackman1911 Yes he did. He lost a few games in his matches.

lol what a bad commentary

[SniperC7]

Paul Morphy's sacrifice of the queen for gaining the mate was astonishing. I don't even thinked on such a brilliant solution there. That move completely kicks out the black queen's power. In fact he paralizes his opponent with this unexpected mate. Thanks for sharing it.

This commentary is aimed at a general audience. Those of you who claim it

too simple - what are you doing here in the first place?

[RedneckkRudy]

Thanks for the video+beginner's commentary. Very clear, and a beautiful game.

[WZBozon]

Nice voice, please continue commenting games. Comment modern games, that would be interesting

[JUICES74]

dude give up explaining games, that sucked.

[bigwaveruler]

Morphy's opponent seems to have been a complete rookie, as does the commentator of this video

@Evilbible What is so unbelievable about it? I started studying chess when I was 5 and this was THE first game my instructor showed me and my classmates; a simple tactical game for beginners. I still remember this game by heart
