bravo ari....

so simple,Dimple!!

What a guy Morphy was!!what a player!what a master!!

Nice game - thanks for sharing!

A classic! I have posted this game along with a few others in my blog post about Morphy.

One word:Amazing.

when i did not know what chess was this is one of the first games i played with a old book with the old notations and that was a long pleasant chess journey after that.replaying his games was like being in heaven in constant bliss.many appeared after him,but no one to match him for his flamboyance a man born to be great because of the time of his birth.

he is a real genous.. I saw this variation at chess tatics ..

Thanks for sharing

One of the best, marvellous and famous chess game ever played

And as arsen4uk said, it was a blindfold game of Morphy

What more could you ask for?

The Marriage of Figaro was composed in 1786 by the wonderful Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Which was 100 years before this game. This opera performed in France was known to stir hatred between the lower and upper classes!

I think the Opera that night was Norma, not that it matters much. 

Truly, the best game of chess ever played!  Like Murali said, like being in heaven. 

awesome checkmate

I will never get tired of watching this particular game. It is a "must watch" for anybody who wants to see how chess can be played, it's very inspiring.

Black's best chance to stay in the game was 4...Nd7! 5.exd6 Bxd6 with a Pawn less but a safe, well-developed position.  4...Nc6? is a mistake because of 5.exd6 Bxd6 6.Bb5! etc.
