"He who plays with Morphy must abandon all hope of catching him in a trap, no matter how cunningly laid, but must also assume that it is so clear to Morphy that there can be no question of a false step." - Adolf Anderssen

love it.  articulate and concise.  keep it up

Great vid, Morphy was a genius!

i agree with GreenbayPackers, more games of P. Morphy please. Thanks for this one and good job on the commentary.

This game is absolutely amazing! Thanks!

"so as you can see, white is really hungry in this game as he is using his fork alot."

unrealllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

Yep, good video.

Nice strategies and attack combinations

Beautiful game. Thaks a lot for the video.

Great video!

Discussion continues regarding the tactical use of the knight queen tandom. 

Back to the game, Morphy continues development preparing to exploit the cramped positions of black with king stuck in center unable to castle. 

continued tactics - discover defense, inbetween move, sacrifice, applying pressure to pin, clearance,

continued principles - when attacked have thre options, run away, take a piece or counter. Look at these with option one last.

Back to game white changes target squares from f7 to d7 with final target of d8 established with a strike, removal of guard queen sacrifice, rook to new target square - checkmate. 

thanks

Very good video!  I have never seen the game before, nor heard the terms used, such as removal of the guard, etc.  I really like how FM Liu delivered the lecture.. very clear.  Thanks alot, FM Liu! 

Great video!! Bad joke...

I learned a lot and thank you for targeting us beginners. It is such a beautiful game, but too often intimidating to us newbies. Please make more videos like these. Having classic games explained is a great way to create a foundation of chess knowledge.
