“Paul Morphy was the greatest chess player that ever lived. Every student of the game, who has delved into the stories of the past, realizes that no one ever was so far superior to the players of his time, or ever defeated his opponents with such ease, and no one ever offered knight odds to the men who considered themselves his equal.“ - Emmanuel Lasker

@jpiii8887

@@DeeEast But it doesn't make logical sense to think of it in that manner. People in the 1850s weren't inherently, or generationally, bad at chess. Like Morphy, they didn't have the benefit of spending more than a century learning from the good (and poor) play of themselves and those who came after them. However, unlike Morphy, none were as dominant or "superior". I dare say we haven't seen Morphy's equal in that regard. There's something to be said for Fischer's reign during the late 60's/early 70s, and for Kasparov's longevity, but neither were as head-and-shoulders above their peers like Morphy at his height.

Morphy accomplished all of this by developing his chess strength during his childhood, as a mere Sunday past time for just a few years, playing against very weak opposition in Louisiana, he practically stopped playing from 13 up to 19, so during his tour for Europe he showed the level he already had from childhood (13 years when he beat Lowenthal for the first time 2.5-0.5)

What a fine match and convincingly won by Morphy. While you can call it the greatest match of the 19th century, one could argue Steinitz vs Zukertort (1886) is right up there - it's a cracking match! Agad should cover it one of these days. The last hurrah for the century was of course Steinitz vs Lasker (1894). We shall never know how Morphy would deal with Steinitz. I consider this the greatest match that never was. It's amazing to think that Lasker played against Henry Bird (who played vs Morphy). Lasker also played Botvinnik (who played vs Fischer).

At 9:25 I think Anderssen's Bb5 move is really strong. It prevents Morphy from playing Ne2, which would simultaneously plan to next play Nf4 while defending against Rc1+. Nf4 would be really unpleasant for black because of the weak pawn on e6, and the coverage of g6 preventing Qg6 which could be one of the only options to defend the h7 pawn.

I don't think I'm aspiring to be strong either as I don't study chess at all which is definitely required after a certain level. I only watch Agad and a few other chess content creators and my knowledge of opening theory comes from only watching these games. As a result, some days I beat 2100s, some days 1900s beat me.
