Our first club meeting was on October 22. We covered the basics of chess notation and the famous Opera Box Game played by Paul Morphy against the Allies in Paris, 1858.
Here's the game. Pay special attention to the names of the moves, White's democratic development of his pieces, how he took advantage of Black's pinned pieces, and the beautiful combination at the end.
