   Games from Paul Morphy. Notice how he develops his pieces quickly and efficiently, how he takes the initiative and keeps the pressure on his opponents, his use of pins, batteries, etc.; every move with purpose and at times multiple purposes.

Game I: Paul Morphy vs. Schrufer, 1859 — Crushing Attack with Rook Lift

Game II: Paul Morphy vs. Johann Löwenthal, Match Game 10, 1858 — Positionally Dominant

Game III: Paul Morphy vs. Duke of Brunswick & Count Isouard, 1858 - The Famous Opera Game

   Morphy prioritized rapid development and used sacrifices to gain an advantage and demonstrated the important chess concepts like development, time, and combinations.
