Thanks so much for getting some commentary of morphy's games on youtube, but do you think you could possibly go into more in depth on the possible alternate lines in future videos so people (like me :) )can better grasp the games ideas as a whole? Thanks for the great uploads.

@SleepingHero

Thanks for your comments :)

Ill try and explain more alternative lines in future, unfortunately the Software Im using doesnt allow for setting up more than one position per game, like Fritz does - unfortunately, for some reason I still havent figured out, my screen capture software causes my Fritz to lag, so I cant make videos with Fritz.. Which means Im reduced to just pointing with the curser.

I dont want to make 2 part videos, so there is the time issue as well

And I think when morphy attacks the queen with bishop early on, I think Harrwitz best move there is Be7, If morphy takes the bishop, Harrwitz plays Kxe7, and he has a better game, with white minus both bishops, and Harrwitz with a very strong white bishop.

If Morphy instead moves the black bishop again instead on taking he has lost a tempo.

Good video, thanks for the upload, On first glance when Harrwitz castles I think I would have gone queenside instead with black. playing b6 first, I would go so far to say that the moves played after Harrwitz castles kingside would make much more sense if his king was queenside instead. especially G5, I really dodgy move as pointed out by yourself.

Peace.
