The masters on Morphy
this is criminally under-viewed.
botvinnik section: 'evident', not 'evidant'.
rip morphy... your loss was ours as well.
A First Book of Morphy by Frisco Del Rosario.
This is an annotated collection of selected games of Paul Morphy, one of the great chess players of all time, and a master of the open game (i.e., games beginning 1.e4 e5). I highly recommend this as the first games collection book for study by the beginner-novice. One would be hard pressed to find a more instructive introductory games collection illustrating the fundamental principles of good chess. According to the author "Morphy was the first known genius at chess whose games were the first to show the relationship between the attack and the positional features of center control, development and king safety".
