    Developing the Queen early is a Crime that should be Punished. I think the Genius from New Orleans gives us a good example in this game.

    I especially enjoyed his 6th move Bd3! With pieces being threatened he thought inviting the Queen in closer was a Good Idea!

        Chess is something more than mathematics.  Chess is more than material.

    Paul Morphy demonstrated that fact in this game.
